Day 11: JEM from JEM and the Holograms
This was definitely one of my favorite cartoons growing up. Girl inherits record label and becomes a philanthropic business woman by day and an incognito rockstar by night. My life goals were set!!
If you were born in the late 80’s or 90’s and missed JEM and the Holograms, it’s all on Netflix. Though I warn you, it’s not exactly a cartoon for kids. (Definitely wasn’t aware how inappropriate it was as a kid.) I also want to make sure that you know the upcoming movie is a far cry from the magnificence that was Jem! To hear my thought on that: click here.
I am a brunette by nature, so it’s hard for my hair to achieve the color pink that JEM was able to rock. Plus I don’t have a holographic program, like Synergy, at the touch of an earring to assist me in creating my alter ego. But some hair chalk and a pair of clip-on star earrings from Buffalo Exchange will take you right back to 1985 and let’s be honest…I could totally be JEM. I just need my Holograms. (Any volunteers??)
This hair is truly outrageous!!

There is a GEM MOVIE coming out? How do I not know this? I am 36, and my daughter (age 6) still plays with a Gem doll from my childhood. I’ll never get rid of it. It’s my favorite cartoon, ever.

Don’t get too excited about the movie. It’s nothing like the original JEM. You Tube it, but keep your expectations low. It’s basically the Josie and the Pussycats remake but with pink hair instead of cat ears. But respect for you introducing your daughter to the classics!! 🙂
