July 1991 Fashion Etc.: Red, White & Blue (And Gray)

The hot dogs are sizzling, the fireworks are firing, and July 1991 cover model Rochelle is telling Sassy George Washington never meant shit to her and that HER Independence Day is January 1, the day the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. HELL YEAH! ...There is more to the issue, but it doesn't really compare. One fashion story is in gray; the other is red, white, blue, and American flag print for the holiday Rochelle shan't be celebrating. Sassy also wants to help you lighten up your makeup; turn a t-shirt and a skirt into an ugly and ill-fitting dress; and look ahead to fall -- nooooOOOOO! -- and the plaids and suedes they think you'll be rocking for back to school. Light a firework and listen!
