Sassy

I don't know if you ever read it but it was a really good teen mag. I confess I sometimes bought 17 and YM too. But Sassy was always a bit more girl power/music/politics etc oriented.

As Kottke pointed out, there really isn't an equivalent these days.

"Sassy's founding editor was Jane Pratt, and it had a half Australian, half American staff. Its original main writers were referred to by Pratt as "Sex" (Karen Catchpole), "Drugs" (Catherine Gysin), and "Rock 'n Roll" (Christina Kelly)[1] because of the topics they covered. The fashion department was headed by Mary Clarke and Andrea Lee Linett, and one of their discoveries was Chloƫ Sevigny, whom they spotted on the street and hired as an intern. The Australian half of the staff covered the art & design (Neil McCutcheon) and beauty departments."
