  1. If you love Jem you have to check out jemgirl.com
    my old school friend made it- slightly obsessive but interesting all the same!

  2. Aaaah! Jem! My childhood in a YouTube video! Although I guess I kind of liked He-Man a bit more… Hmm… No I don’t think so actually. Yeah! Jem!

  3. Wow i love Jem…..when i was a kid i had the Jem doll and the Pizazz.
    I secretly loved the Pizazz doll more cos she had purple hair and cool make up and generally more of a rock chick look but Jem had cool flashing ear rings and pretty cool hair also.
    I love the ‘Broadway magic’ episode and song,still remember all the words!!!!

    AWWW JEM....I MISS YOU.

    Gala you’re a bit like Stormer cos she had the midnight blue colour hair right?!

  4. Haha, I saw a picture of Jem once, thought it was good and then pretty much forgot about it. Then I was on LJ and I wasn’t looking for anything in particular but I kept running into Jem icons. Now I see this!

    I suppose I’ll have to watch it now, as it’s been following me around so much. d:

  5. I was born in 1989 so I didn´t get to enjoy watching Jem when I was a kid but now that I´ve seen this I gotta watch more to see what happens!

    Thanks a lot Gala, now you got me hooked! :)

  6. Oh no! Video 3 doesn’t seem to work. :(

  7. To this day, I still regret that my father popped the head off my Rio doll…

    A few years back, when I still lived in New Orleans, a large group of my friends dressed up as Jem & the Holograms & the Misfits for Halloween. The costumes were SPECTACULAR and we had an amazing time. (I got to be Kimber)

  8. this is awesome – i’ve never heard of Jem before. Maybe it wasn’t shown in England.
    Hey, have you ever heard of a film called “Barbie & the Rockstars”? It’s an amazing cartoon film where Barbie and her band play a concert in space. Cosmic.
    I watched it so much when I was a kid.

  9. I bought the first season on DVD. :x
    Heh, its a definite pick me up on those ‘bla’ kind of days. When I was in college, it was impossible to keep those DVDs to myself since everyone was so excited to borrow them all the time!

    I wish someone would put out a CD of Jem songs. Those songs rocked. Ooh, and also a CD of re-mastered Jem songs by current artists haha! The Misfits had better songs, but admittedly, I really did love Jem best. I begged my mom for pink hair for the entirety of my childhood as a result.

  10. truly, truly, truly outrageous!

    <3 Kiki · Apr 6, 10:28 AM · #

  11. @ Ashe Mischeif – sounds like Mattel ripped off Josie and the Pussycats in space series.

    And I love Jem too!

    <3 Cassie · Apr 6, 11:14 AM · #

  12. I’ve never seen it before! I liked it a lot n_n.

    <3 Juls · Apr 6, 11:27 AM · #

  13. Wow! Totally forgot about that! A friend of mine had all the dolls and I think there were comic books as well?

    The star earrings really rock!

    Amazing how globalised these things actually are. I live in the Netherlands and read about it again on your site while you grew up in New Zealand (?)!

  14. Oh my science, Gala, I am addicted! The third episode is so far my favourite.

    <3 Lady Julianne le Fay · Apr 6, 12:18 PM · #

  15. wow just watched that ep – i enjoyed it muchly! i’ve never seen Jem before, i don’t remember it being shown in the UK, but i was born in 1988 so maybe it was but just before my time. But like Sapphire said, it reminded me of the Barbie film, which i too had and loved :p. I just tried to do my make up like Pizzazz haha! x

    <3 Shauna · Apr 6, 12:23 PM · #

  16. i like how she’s wearing (truly) outrageous purple makeup all the time, even to her father’s funeral!

    <3 Harriet · Apr 6, 12:58 PM · #

  17. JEM! How I loved Jem. A few months ago, my best girls wand I decided to watch one episode just for fun but ended up watching most of the whole first season!

    <3 Carrie · Apr 6, 01:48 PM · #

  18. Sapphire, I think it was shown over here. I remember having a Jem & the Holograms VHS anyway :D

    <3 Romy · Apr 6, 05:43 PM · #

  19. OMG! I loved Jem! I used to watch it all the time. :D It was the best show ever. I totally want to get all of the seasons on DVD if they ever come out.

    <3 Valerie · Apr 6, 06:11 PM · #

  20. I remember being OBSESSED with Jem…..in fact, i possibly still am!

  21. you should listen to the freezepop cover of the theme song! it is truely, truely, truely outrageous

    <3 Caroline · Apr 6, 06:50 PM · #

  22. Oh my goodness, my obsession with Jem and the Holograms as a child was ridiculous. My mother would tape every episode for me and I had all the dolls (that each came with a tape!) with all the accessories. Jem was the reason I always wanted gorgeous pink hair. I hope to get a tattoo of her in the near future!

    <3 Arelys · Apr 6, 06:55 PM · #

  23. I was jem a few halloween’s ago & still have my jem dolls although I seem to have lost all the tapes over the years

    <3 kim · Apr 6, 07:30 PM · #

  24. Jem was always my fav… years later she inspired me to dye my hair all pink (which it remained for 3 years.. that’s lots of pink pillow cases.. haha).. I still have all my Jem dolls I could never bear to part with them. I also picked up a Jem tee shirt while I was in the States a couple of years back :) B xx

    <3 Bianca · Apr 6, 08:13 PM · #

  25. I loved Jem when I was little! Wow, that brings back some memories. I had a Jem Doll and went to the Melbourne Show and got a Jem showbag! It had stick on Jem earrings, a pink wig, a colouring-in book, Jem Shoelaces and some other Jem stuff. That would have been 22 years ago at least!

    <3 Sarah Prout · Apr 6, 09:41 PM · #

  26. I didn’t know Jem at all as a kid, but I did have Barbie and the Rockers haha

    <3 Danielle · Apr 6, 10:40 PM · #

  27. Wow ive never heard of this show before.. but its awesome!

    <3 EmmaRose · Apr 6, 11:40 PM · #

  28. i was born in the 90s so this is the first i’ve seen or heard of jem.. i love the sense of old school cartoonage. OooOoooh what happens after the firee!!

    <3 mel · Apr 7, 01:22 AM · #

  29. i just got introduced to Jem last tuesday. it pretty much made my week. the hair! the makeup! the implausible plot! her two timing bastard of a boyfriend! (never mind that he’s two-timing with his girlfriend).

    ever watched totally spies? used to be on channel ten at about 7:30am but is on youtube now. highschool aged girl spies who fight evil fashion designers and cosmetic companies. what’s not to like?

    <3 Nina · Apr 7, 03:28 AM · #

  30. lol i have 2 jem paintings and 1 pizazz in my room, still have the dolls somewhere too, ah jem = good times

    <3 Miss Steph · Apr 7, 04:22 AM · #

  31. I was born early 80’s so I should have heard of it, so no I don’t think it was shown in the UK. But I’m making up for that now by watching them all on youtube.

    <3 Magpie_Dandy · Apr 7, 05:44 AM · #

  32. oh gem is my hero

    <3 lady coveted · Apr 7, 07:50 AM · #

    <3 Bex · Apr 7, 01:05 PM · #

  34. jem’s my hero! i guess our rockstar fancies started from there. i’m getting an lss of the themesong now and love it.

    <3 cola · Apr 7, 02:36 PM · #

  35. My goodness!! what a cliffhanger!

    <3 Bexxx · Apr 7, 07:56 PM · #

  36. I have 4 dvds of Jem, and a t shirt…Yet more evidence of your awesomeness, Gala.
    Kate Jackson from the Long Blondes has the same Jem t shirt as me…you’d be interested in her fashion taste Gala, here’s a link to an article with video, fabulously titled “Kate Jackson: So Hot We’ll Follow Her Clothes Shopping”. www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily…

    And, I still want one of those Jem dolls with light up earrings…my best friend had one when we were five and I still haven’t recovered from the jealously
