the video recording of a talk that Tavi Gevinson gave at ideaCity, a three-day conference held in Toronto earlier this year. She chose to speak about Sassy magazine and why a publication like that is still needed by teenage girls today. Anyone who regularly reads Tavi's blog Style Rookie will know that Sassy has a special place in her heart. A magazine that was launched in 1998, Sassy broke through the surface gloss of other magazines which encouraged girls first and foremost to make themselves attractive to men- as if this was the most important message young women needed to hear. In her talk, Tavi even cites an issue which advocated going to university to find a husband (forget about learning! That won't make you married. . .)
