you watch this show as a child?

I loved it.

I loved it so much I dressed up as Jem for Halloween and played Jem with my friends. I was Jem. Obviously.

What was it all about? Jem was kinda like the 80’s version of Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana. Except way cooler. Jem is a rockstar. Her plain clothed alter ego is known as Jerrica Benton. Jerrica Benton’s dad built a hologram machine known as synergy. Through the use of her amazing and totally 80’s pink, star earrings, Jerrica can project a hologram onto herself. Thus becoming Jem. She also uses the earrings for all sorts of other fun, hologram related shenanigans. They also had their arch nemesis (how do you make that word plural?), the Misfits. They were bad. Do you know how to recognize a bad rocker band? They all had green and blue hair. Not pink and purple like Jem. Duh.

Here she is with her hologram and then without. Love me some pink hair. When I was Jem for Halloween, the only defining characteristic was a magenta colored wig – I think my earrings were pink stars, but likely press on and not nearly as large. Pretty sure everyone thought I was just a girl in a wig. But I explained what Jem was and how her earrings worked. They got it.
