When it debuted in 1988, Sassy, the brain-child of Australian publisher Sandra Yates, was seen as "a baby-ms.". Launched with the ad campaign, "I'm too sassy to read Teen" and with 25 year-old editor-in-chief Jane Pratt as a perfect foil for the much older editor of Seventeen, Sassy initially got lots of press and had a growing circulation.

The magazine, whose slangy, first-person style was described as "pajama-party journalism" featured articles such as "Guide To A Boy's Body," "My Brother's Gay, Big Whoop," and items on Rupaul, zines, the spoken word scene, and underground filmmakers. Nor did Sassy neglect such issues as the return of flared pants and the Brenda-Kelly-Dylan triangle on "90210."

The magazine was hit by a moral majority boycott in its first year , and shortly thereafter was sold to Dale Lang Publications. Some five years later , plagued by shrinking ad pages, the magazine was sold to Petersen publishing, which publishes Teen as well as Guns and Ammo.

Immediately after the sale, the entire Sassy staff was fired (many of them had been with the magazine since its inception) and the magazine was completely revamped, becoming a bland clone of every other mainstream teen-girl magazine.

Occasionally publishes fiction, e.g. "Run Away" by Cathie Bauer (Jul-1993).
