Grab your Lip Smackers and your flat iron, because this week on RAM Pop Culture, we’re cracking open our Teen Vogue archives and heading straight back to 2007. It’s a full on glossy magazine sleepover as we rediscover the quizzes, cover girls, and chaos that defined an era.
We take you through the “What Kind of Best Friend Are You?” quiz (are you a Selena, Blake, Zendaya, or Lindsay?), and of course play “Would You Rather: Teen Edition” We talk about the power of teen magazines in shaping our identities, political stances, and the performative perfection of the “It Girl,” and how every friendship in your teens felt like a cover story.
From Juicy Couture tracksuits to the “Young Hollywood” issue, from Zac Efron prom fantasies to finding yourself in the MySpace age , it’s our love letter to that formative, lip-gloss-sticky chapter of growing up. This magazine shaped us and Claire was even in it!
Because at the end of the day… history is just gossip, especially when it’s written in pink gel pen. RIP to a LEGENDARY magazine!

We love you, Diane!
