I'VE LIKED YOU FOR A THOUSAND YEARS

Kids Launch The Darndest Magazines of the Day: So apparently precocious style rookie Tavi Gevinson (who, you may enjoy being reminded, is only 14 years old) is starting a magazine with Jane Pratt, the founding editor of defunct cult teen magazine Sassy.

“Of course, it won’t be Sassy (or the rebirth of Sassy, or Sassy 2.0) and nor do we want it to be,” Gevinson writes on her blog. “For one, you can’t try to recreate something that good. For another, while I can read old issues of Sassy and relate, the world has changed a bit in the past 15 or so years, and that whole Internet thing happened, and this world calls for something different.”

Not-Sassy will have a “‘for the people, by the people’ kinda vibe,” Gevinson elaborates. “We want to find the best possible group of people for this project, and a wide range of ages, styles, etc.” That means you! Submission-resumes are currently being received through November 19th at MagazineSubmissionsAreFun@gmail.com.

“Exciting, right?”

Guys, I—I actually kind of really hate Tavi. She scares me. She’s devil spawn. What fourteen year old is that charmingly quaint and articulate? I bet she beats her parents with the spinal cords of burnt oxen. And her clothes aren’t that cute, even! I don’t understand fashion! Twenty-first century, what hath pop culture wrought? We have young teenagers looking meeker than Woody Allen and rubbing elbows with geriatric fashion elites and blogging like it ain’t no thang while going to high school! Demonic forces are at play when this has become a reality, my friends. She is going to do something really adorable and also frightening in 2012 and the world will end not with a bang, and not with a whimper, but with a giggled Seinfeld quote.

(anyway I am asserting my cultural superiority and infinite wisdom while waxing somewhat sarcastic about little fashion icons on Tumblr while watching 16 and Pregnant)

Fucking Tavi. She’s 14. WHAT HAVE I DONE WITH MY LIFE?! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
