Rot in Hell, vile Jem
I have had the theme song to "Jem & the Holograms" running through my head since Sunday afternoon (you know, "JEM! Ahhh-ahhhhh, truly outrageous, you're truly truly truly outrageous....").
I was singing it loudly to the cats yesterday while I was folding laundry, and then I noticed that my next door neighbor was weeding her garden right by my open window. Startled (& mid-verse, mind you), I exclaimed "FUCK!".
I suppose this means she ("she" meaning the neighbor, not that whore Jem) won't be stopping over anytime soon with some banana bread, welcoming us to the neighborhood.
Fucking Jem.

Holy shit! I too have been plagued by Jem and/or Barbie and the Rockers (same look; stupid song). In fact, in High school there was a girl whose name was Spring--I crap you negative. And she looked like Jem and/or Barbie, so we often sang one of the two theme songs when we saw her.

There was a girl in my class named Summer who also looked a bit like Barbie. Hmmm... *mental mind note: do NOT name child after a season less she becomes a flakey whore.* The only part of the Barbie and the Rockers song I can remember is the part where they sing Barbie and the rockers.
and I LOVED Jem. the awesome part was that the rival band was the Misfits. tee hee hee... And the creativity with the song. Not just outrageous, truly truly TRULY outrageous.

Not like love in that 'she is such a positive role model and i want to be her' way, love in that, 'I was really young at the time and she had pink hair and that was cool to me' way.
And really, Jege, everyone has lapses in judgement when they are young. If I judged you on your high school hairstyle, you too might be dead to me.
There was a chance of your name suggestion until I realized that the child could possibly be called 'J.R.' NOOOOOOOO!

Oh Jesus, just had to turn up the Jem, didn't ya??
I am a fellow Jem-hater. I also hate: Smurfette (all Smurfs for that matter), The Thundercats, and any of those other cartoon pussies.
Bah!

Thundercats, HO!!!

Don't even get me started on He-man & Masters of the Universe, or that megabitch Rainbow Brite.

Jem. Ha!
What's your opinion on the Sweet Valley High twins?

Those damn songs. Last week my husband couldn't get the theme song from Tailspin out of his mind. I had totally forgotten about that show. Poor fella...he kept singing it all day long.

GUFFAW! Sweet Valley High Twins. They actually crossed my mind before I read kato's mention of them.
"Perfect Size Sixes".... mmmmmm hhhmmmm. My ghetto ass would have pummelled their sixes into a pile of blonde crap.
(Or not. But I would have seriously considered it.)

Dorkette, I would have helped you.

jege, maybe your neighbor will bring you a bottle (I'm in my 'the glass is half full' place.)
Tuesday, April 11, 2006 at 6:35:00 PM PDT
i'm a half-empty kind of girl, goldennib. and, as a good friend once told me, not only is the glass half-empty, but it contains poison.

Ok, I am big enough to admit that I was a huge Jem fan. One thing that still puzzles me, didn't she have a "secret identity?" I am sure it made sense to me at age 12 but why the hell would Jem need a secret identity anyway? She wasn't saving the world with her music (gag) and she wasn't fire bombing bad guys on the side so what gives?
Anyone else remember?

I'm sad to admit that I DO remember. She was named Jerrica, or something godawful like that.

Wasn't she a fucking hologram or something? Was she a hologram as Jem or as Jerrica?
The plot thickens.....

They had some crazy ass computer thing that turned Jerrica into Jem thanks to holograms - hence the ingenious name of their band. But it still escapes me as to why?

Jege, I have no clue why you know that but I am laughing right now :)

"...And there was Dina, Dana, Derek, DeeDee standing next to me, and we were born, born with a mike in our hands...singing everything that we can...born with a mike in our hands!"
Anyone? Anyone?
Please just shoot me.
"We're Barbie. And the Rockers! Rockin' now we're totally in the groove (in the groove!)...we're rockstars, something something SING! We're Barbie and the Rockers!"

Born with a mike in your hands? OUCH! Dawn, was Charlotte born with a mike in her hands? That would explain the stitches. You poor, poor woman.
Note to self: NEVER have children.
