Makes me yearn for my callously-discarded back issues of Sassy

My subscription to Jane expired sometime last year, and I didn't renew simply because I was receiving an excessive number of magazines in the mail each month. I just couldn't keep up with all of them, even if some titles didn't involve much actual reading (Lucky).

Now comes the news that Jane Pratt is leaving Jane. It sounds like things had gotten ugly for her, and while I haven't read the magazine in a while I have to admit that I like the idea of the old Sassy staffers still being out there (at Lucky, ELLEgirl, but thankfully not Teen People because that Lori Majewski has got to go with her terrible wardrobe and jewelry). It's comforting to imagine that they're still influencing young women to be interesting and interested, even if Jane was the only publication overtly carrying that torch (there's no "Cute Band Alert" in Lucky, sadly). But now....

I am almost certain that Jane will cease being Jane without Jane.
