How JEM made her Impression on me.
I was 5.  I was watching my normal boy based cartoons on the USA network, waiting for wrestling to come on(go ahead n laugh yes professional wrestling).  All of a sudden their was an unfamiliar theme music.  Thinkin to myself " another new boy cartoon whoo who"  Jem oooo Jem.  huh? this doesn't sound to boyish.  And there they were a bunch of colorful ladies. "cool something new!"  I was hooked!!.  Then a few weeks later, on a beautiful summer day, they were playing "Starbright" I couldn't tear myself away from the tube.  My friends tried to pry me away but I wouldn't budge.  My 6th birthday was nearing.  I had the habit of gift snooping.  I found to gifts in my mom's room all wrapped.  I decided to shake them to see what they were. One was a barbie sized box, I knew it had to be JEM!  The other was the size of a box of crayons, it sounded like one to.  So the night before my birthday I couldnt sleep a wink!!   They day finally arrived!!!  after my normal birthday with friends, it was they family birthday thing.  I ripped open that big gift first!!! I was right it was JEM!!! I was SO happy!!!   Then it was that small  gift, it was not crayons...it was the mail away cassette JEM and the Holograms.  Boy was I a happy camper!!! now I had 2 tapes. The other one was Cyndi Lauper.
Well next came Christmas.  My grandma had gotten me guess what another Jem/Jerrica doll!!! it was really great! my original one had been uh well beaten up, she didnt bend or hold a pose her earrings didn't flash.  So it was really great!  My original JEm beat to death in 6 months.  My birthday is in June.  I couldn't wait to get home.  Of course I got the standard stuff, socks, clothes, and a few barbies.  Then as I was about to open what I thought was another Barbie, I pulled back the wrapper, it was AJA!!!  then then next one was Kimber  and last but not least Shana!!!  I also got a lot of jem clothes. 
For the next few holidays I got different JEMs.  Rock n Curl was at easter.  Glitter N gold was birthday 7  and my last doll was my favorite, Jetta.  Then I didn't know, JEM had been discontinued.  :(
I am still hunting for Jem.  I came across a lot of jem stuff on Ebay.  That is how I found my latest addition to my collection, Clash.  I had to take her out of her box, it was a bad box.
One thing great about jem, she taught us a lot.  So join us with email sony wonder who owns the rights to JEM's music, And the FOX network, to get JEM on the air.  I hope to get some links set up for that!
