I just ordered all of "Ani's Favorite Retro Workout Colors" tanks and I plan to wear them while rereading all of my original Sassy magazines all summer. It's going to rule! 😎
Anyway I hope you love the shirts and I hope you think of Jamie Lee Curtis and John Travolta doing semi-sensual hip swings without breaking eye contact when you wear them♥️✨
And by the way, Ani, when I left your wording on this description, I knew that the first person could sound like it was coming from me and I intentionally left that because it's such a perfectly written description that I'm thrilled if people assume it was my work. That's my confession! Thank you for letting me pretend to be as brilliant as you.
You're the best! And your summer is going to be the best too! I told Ani her color combinations were going to sell the most. I think few if any will want my aura color shirt but that's ok - I will be in such a good mood while I'm wearing it that all of you will reap the benefits of that in future giveaways and posts here!
I haven't even watched it yet because when I clicked on it, it went to an ad so I moved on to reading other comments here but thank you for giving me the warning and also, you crack me up, E!
Janey Jane! Ok, first I love this stream of consciousness post and never let anyone (ahem, Charlie) edit this out of you. Second, I have too many tees at present but not one of them is Sassy so I guess I am adding to the pile. If you haven't read my fashion essay collection yet — I know it's on your nightstand though ;) — you will know I used to GAP clipboard fold tees and keep them in order of date received. Yours will top the pile. Hope the book writing is coming along! xx
Of course I read your amazing book AND it's at the top of my pile. I am looking at it as I type this. Can you put another link here so people know what we're talking about and can buy it if they want?
It is truly the key! I don't know who knows the story but I just started telling people that I was starting this new teen publication before I had any backing or anything. I still use that trick now 40 years later. It worked for sassy and has for other projects too. I'm glad we both use it! Why not?
What about upgrading from free to annual? 👀 Favorite shirt style is the women’s cut tshirt that’s extra long and I’m not sure what the official name for that is lol… and purple is my favorite color. I just posted about Sassy in Threads the other day and wanting a new magazine just like it for 40+ women and I would actually lose my mind if you sent me a signed copy of one of the old Sassy magazines! 😍 Thank you… you’re the best! ❤️
Upgrading from free to annual absolutely qualifies you for a free shirt, yes! I was having trouble describing this all clearly but yes, any paid upgrade = free sassy shirt of your choice. We will have to get mailing addresses from you all once all of the orders are in. Most of all, I'm so happy that you like them and that you will like the new print magazine too. (Stay tuned!)
I love those choices!!!!! And so sweet about your speediness. DM me a picture of yourself in them if you like or post them on Instagram and tag me. Only if you want to! Happy wearing them!!
As a proud owner of 4 Jane magazines which are extremely hard to outsource in the Philippines, it would thrill me to end to receive some free stuff from a real voice of a generation- the one and only Jane Pratt. Thank you in advance hehe.
You are beyond welcome and it's really true that that has transcended trends. It's the true original as sold through sassy club forever and now I feel bad that I spoke Ill of it. I will never bite the hand that feeds again and will cherish all of my children equally and any other metaphor that applies. Sorry shirts!
true story, bc I wear my pink sassy tee so much, my non-verbal teenager has learned to say sassy and he loves when I wear it. I will be back to grab those tanks.
This is the most touching comment I will likely ever get about these shirts or Sassy in general. Thank you thank you thank you beyond for telling me and thanks to your amazingly Sassy teenager. I will keep him strongly in mind when I'm working on this new teen publication too.
looking at the pic of the old sassy mag and i immediately could smell the perfume samples inside. thank you for that flashback🧡i cant afford to upgrade rn but in case you are feeling extra sassy i love a surprise in medium. seriously tho, sassy mag 4 life🫶🏼
This means so much to me! I get it about not being able to upgrade yet. I just had. to cut back on subscriptions and some other stuff too.
One good thing is that selling these shirts is a way to get revenue so that we can afford to publish more FREE articles and pay writers more. And of course I will keep you in mind once the rightful winners of the Sassy issues get theirs if I still have one to give. I will cross my fingers for you too.
You're so cute. I actually thought that might be the best seller and that is the true original classic. It was only for me that it brought back funny associations, but all of that Sassy promo merch is cool now in retrospect so I am going to revise my opinion.
Just ordered the espresso sleeved shirt for my BFF's bday because in high school I always borrowed her Sassy's and drank her coffee. Finally paying a debt! Thanks, Jane. Would love one of those magazines too if they are still up for grabs... This time I can let her borrow mine!
Oh man, I was all prepared to be like, huzzah! I’ll swap you a Kelly green Sassy shirt in return for not being paid for my article.
But someone… took the that school green awesome away? What the what?
I’m willing you now to forget this, and I can use it as leverage next time I get grabby hands.
I thought - old editions WOULD be good… or would they be depressing? Oh but to have the Courtney and Kirk!
My Doobie Brother bestie was telling me a story about your bestie Michael that’s legendary in the music world and it was amazing, and it has to do with Shiny Happy People and I cannot rest until I know it’s true.
This ramble brought to you by heatwave in NY, they give me panic attacks that are fun. Not being cynical. They don’t have to be awful! They can be stationary cardio, which is a win and a fantastic band name.
That must've been a mistake if the shirt disappeared – Green was one of my favorites too. I'm asking Ani right now.. And you did get paid for your article, right?? I always pay. What??!
But more important: a fabulous band name, indeed!!
Send me that invoice and let me pay you please! You more than earned it with that phenomenal story! Besides the fact that you had to live the story to write it. I love your work so much and want to pay for it of course!
You are so sweet and a lot of writers here have had this question, so:
write me at Jane@AnotherJanePrattThing telling me the name and date of your story (can be rough date and rough title) and include the fee of $50 on there, as well as your bank routing number or mailing address and I will get it paid immediately. Also, if we sell enough of these shirts, we can start paying writers more, thank goodness.
Since you are so very popular on the socials during the SassySsance (Sassy renaissance) you should flop that shirt link down on socials and encourage people to spread it like herpes (which is also a hat tip to the late 80’s and the 90’s)
Just because the kids don’t like to read, they can still wear the shirt, which spreads awareness and all win except long form writing.
I'm going to buy a tank but I can't decide between "If You Saw These Colors on Anything in a Vending Machine, You Knew It Was Going to be Good. Be The Snack You Wish to See in the World" and the "Purple with Orange." I don't need both so I have to make a decision. Anyone have thoughts about this very important choice?
HA I forgot to update the name to the vending machine one, they all started out with really weird hyper specific names for my reference and entertainment - sorry Jane! But I would say the vending machine one because it says “it’s summer, I’m hot in every sense of that word. And fun too. And I mean business and stand on it because it also says SASSY”
And then purple can be for August when people start getting excited for fall and it would look really cute with a sweater.
But honestly there’s no wrong choice you could rock ‘em both♥️
Ani, I intentionally left the vending machine description because I liked it so much. Pretty much no word gets up on the site or those shopping pages that I have not scrutinized (I have always been such a nitpicker about words – thus my issue with that other sassy shirt with that wording on it, I didn't like that we talked about in another comment). So no apologies necessary. Your brilliant description made it through to the final round intentionally and I'm so glad it did! You're incredible – with colors and with words!
OK, I am back after much deep meditation on which of these colors will be better for you. I'm going to suggest the blue with yellow. Though I may tend toward the other one myself, I think "vending machine" is going to make you feel so happy happy when you wear it and I think it's gonna make other people more upbeat and energetic when they see it. So it's a public service as well! I hope you wear it and feel great about it!
I ended up going with the blue/yellow one. I was still kind of on the fence but then your wise words about public service pushed me over the line! Plus, I love blue and yellow together.
I'm so thrilled! It's reminding me of a tough time in my life when I thought that everyone I passed on the street looked so depressed and then I started to get happier, and I noticed people smiling at me and realized they were mirroring my expression the whole time and I just hadn't known it. So you and I will be projecting happiness and getting it back! Let's compare notes on that.
Also If It doesn't come to you the way you want it, let me know and I'll get you the other one. And either way, send me pictures if you like!
I will give you my take and I am curious to see what Ani, their creator, says about this because she came up with both of those versions. And most of all I'm really curious to hear what other readers think. I find it hard to choose between a lot of these myself and even though it's my aura color, that one's not even necessarily my favorite. I'll come back and vote on yours and can't wait to see what others say. I love that you're asking!
I just upgraded to annual (yay!) and am intending to order the classic black with pink even though you are tired of it (sorrynotsorry?). Looking forward to instructions and/or a link!
Amazing! That is truly a classic, and I think I'm being persuaded to change my opinion on it after all these years. I’m glad you like it either way and that you didn't let me dampen your vibe about it. (I have no idea where that expression just came from, but let's go with it.) Thanks so much for subscribing!
The next step will be for me and Ani to get mailing addresses and sizes for all of you guys so we can send your shirts out. I'll give these instructions generally on my next post, but since you asked, I'll tell you the protocol first! Whenever you want to do it, you can go ahead and write to jane@anotherjaneprattthing.com with the subject line “my free Sassy shirt”, Include your order and also include whichever email address you used to subscribe.
And then if you can, send me a picture (or post a picture of yourself and tag me) wearing it so I can show it off. That part’s not mandatory but I would love it. Xo.

May I say that you have IMPECCABLE taste ;) here’s the exact scene that inspired the color scheme that’s burned into my brain for eternity: https://youtu.be/3BeARbDh9zo?t=108&is=5-IjoDMbrkJXXAR_
Anyway I hope you love the shirts and I hope you think of Jamie Lee Curtis and John Travolta doing semi-sensual hip swings without breaking eye contact when you wear them♥️✨

LOL!!! And... now the shirts are even more amazing! :D
You're the best! And your summer is going to be the best too! I told Ani her color combinations were going to sell the most.

You're the best, Jane! 🤗
YOU are!!!!
OMG that link needed a content warning 🤣🤣🤣
I haven't even watched it yet because when I clicked on it, it went to an ad so I moved on to reading other comments here but thank you for giving me the warning and also, you crack me up, E!

Jane, you're forever the most thoughtful. xx
Here's the link to Clothes Minded, a collection of essays about fashion, identity and finding yourself: https://tinyurl.com/mx7bmfd7
This book is so worth getting and reading at least once.
I’m particularly excited to rock my purple with light blue tee - ordered and counting down the minutes until it’s here!
I love that one too! And I love how different all of your choices are!
Oooooo....Sapphire tank 2x is my preferred t-shirt.
And definitely signed Sassy when I win that.
;)
“When”. That's my girl! Always when!!!
Gotta have confidence!

Yay!! Thank you, Jane! I’m off to get that upgrade 🙌🏻❤️
Thank YOU,
Shauna!
The speeeed in which I ordered an espresso tee and Jamie Lee Curtis retro workout tank!
I love those choices!!!!! And so sweet about your speediness. DM me a picture of yourself in them if you like or post them on Instagram and tag me. Only if you want to! Happy wearing them!!
As a proud owner of 4 Jane magazines which are extremely hard to outsource in the Philippines, it would thrill me to end to receive some free stuff from a real voice of a generation- the one and only Jane Pratt. Thank you in advance hehe.
Flattery will get you EVERYWHERE!Thanks so much for saying that and I sure hope you get one to keep those Jane issues company!
Black tee with hot pink lettering is the classic combo that might be boring, but has always transcended trends. 🖤🩷
Thank you for such a fabulous collection, Jane
You are beyond welcome and it's really true that that has transcended trends. It's the true original as sold through sassy club forever and now I feel bad that I spoke Ill of it. I will never bite the hand that feeds again and will cherish all of my children equally and any other metaphor that applies. Sorry shirts!

I still love the pink on pink! 🩷 OR honestly my favorite is the hot pink Sassy on black— the one that’s not cool anymore, apparently! Lol
You're so cute. I actually thought that might be the best seller and that is the true original classic. It was only for me that it brought back funny associations, but all of that Sassy promo merch is cool now in retrospect so I am going to revise my opinion.
Ooh it’s Sassy Classic Edition 🩷🖤
Just ordered the espresso sleeved shirt for my BFF's bday because in high school I always borrowed her Sassy's and drank her coffee. Finally paying a debt! Thanks, Jane. Would love one of those magazines too if they are still up for grabs... This time I can let her borrow mine!
This is when life is like poetry I love this so much!!
And we love you so much, creative being!
Yes! Life like poetry <3
That's such a sweet reason to want an issue! And thanks for ordering that pretty shirt - I hope she likes it! Let me know.
I know she’ll LOVE it! <3
Oh man, I was all prepared to be like, huzzah! I’ll swap you a Kelly green Sassy shirt in return for not being paid for my article.

I didn’t 😂. I thought it was funny, though. Stupid worthless cancer story!
It’s all good, if you remember you were doing the 2 podcasts and in the middle of a meltdown but holding it together all smiley-melty.
Life is hard when Jane Pratt can’t get the Sassy shirt she wants!
Although I’d seriously pay good money for Another Jane Pratt shirt. Or the Jane shirt! You should be so many shirts!
You have such a way with words and I will be all the shirts for you always.
I spent several years designing shirts, and even had a pretty successful tee line back in the day. Never tempt to me!!
Send me that invoice and let me pay you please! You more than earned it with that phenomenal story! Besides the fact that you had to live the story to write it. I love your work so much and want to pay for it of course!
There’s an invoice? Am I supposed to make it? How weird to understand so little of my life!
You are so sweet and a lot of writers here have had this question, so:

I still rock my pink Sassy Tee all up and down the west coast! 🤘 Have fun on your road trip, Janey! I'm in LA making moves. 🏁🏎️ xoxo
