Who remembers the awesome cartoon from the 80's Jem and Halograms...?
I DON'T!
I cant believe I missed out on such a creative, inventive most fashionably inclined cartoon EVER!
In the last line you could probably tell why I love it so much.
I was hanging with one of my best friends last weekend, and they mentioned if I had ever seen the cartoon as a child.
I frowned up my face as usual and mentioned "It probably was a sucky cartoon if it wasn't on my radar."
We both giggled and they mentioned I came to mind when they youtubed it, and I was going to love it from introduction.
Of course I gave it a whirl, and I was locked in instantly. I was taken away by the colors and the fashion. I'm not a big fan of the 80's era but Jem and the Halograms were fierce characters and the make up is AMAZING!. Their hardcore representation of fashion was spot on! I'm going to step out on limb and say every outfit each character sported in the episodes is worn today.
The creator behind it Christy Maxx was genius, but I think the cartoon was a little bit ahead of its time. It lasted 3 years from 1985-1988 for a total of 65 episodes. Jem who was the lead singer of "Jem and the Holograms" assumed 2 identities to protect a secret ( the holographic computer "synergy and herself). The reason for the big secret and disguises was to support the "Starlight Music Group" and the "Starlight Foundation for Girls, " which was a foster home.
Jem and the Holograms were always trying to be upstaged by their nemesis "The Misfits." Though the Misfits were the bad girls you cant help to fall in love with there well sculpted wardrobe. KUDOS to everyone behind the scenes for this.
My friend and I battled about me taking sides, but there are no side to take. We all love the "good guys" and the "bad guys" and definitely LOVE FASHION!
This 3 season DVD is definitely on my wish list for Xmas as well as, the 6 seasons of the Golden Girls ( My favorite all time fashionably inspired show)!
Any Takers?
