I was looking at a slideshow on Lucky Magazine's website yesterday that contained photos of celebrities when they were kids/models, etc. This pic popped up:
And despite the fact that this magazine cover is 28 years old (oh dear Lord....), I recognized it immediately. It was the first issue of Seventeen I ever owned. It was the big thick fall issue of 1986, I turned 14 that month, I was starting high school in the fall, and my mom bought me this issue, saying "you don't have to be 17 to read it." It started a love of fashion mags in me, and I know I kept this issue for a very long time (in a binder, with those plastic magazine spine holders). I know I eventually purged everything, but it's funny how it stuck in my head, and how it again popped up so many years later.
I became a Sassy girl, then later on picked up InStyle, then got hooked on Lucky with the first issue. For those of you that know me, you might think it a bit weird that I have a thing for fashion mags. Yeah, I'd think it was odd too. I may not dress the part, but I have a fascination, appreciation, and love of fashion and style. And it started with this one issue of this one magazine.
