Jane Pratt Not Done Bitching About Jane
Suggests That Her Firing Was, In Retrospect, A Huge Fucking Mistake

You know what it's like watching the magazine you created get flushed down the toilet several years after you "voluntarily" left the offices of Conde Nast kicking and screaming? According to the crazy (and not at all bitter!) Jane Pratt, it's kind of like watching your second develop an incurable substance abuse problem. Or something.

"I feel like Sassy was my baby; I feel like Jane was my second baby," said Ms. Pratt, who started Jane in 1997 and was the first editor of Sassy, a ground-breaking title for teen girls, before that. "I feel like I abandoned that baby and it went off and got on drugs or something. I do have guilt about that. What I really would have liked would have been to have kept more of a connection to the magazine."

And by "I would have liked to have kept more of a connection to the magazine," Pratt really means "I'm still pretty fucking pissed about getting fired, thrown out on the street and unceremoniously replaced by an incompetent stranger who's named after a boy." Or something.
