Jem and the Holograms.

***Remember the cassettes?!? I used to have them all! Including Barbie and the Rockers!!
Guess that's where my vivid imagination started from huh? They don't make stuff as cool as they used too***



When I was younger I used to play with the Jem doll that my sister had gotten as a gift. A few years later I would forget about her and her glowing star earrings only to find her once again during my tween years in the Dominican Republic. See, my parents would go back home to the Dominican Republic every summer. Sometimes we would be sent ahead of time so that we could get used to being there. It was a reminder for us that even though we were growing up American; there were 2 sides to our story and it all began in Dominican Republic. We would spend the entire summer speaking only Spanish and exploring our neighborhood back in Jarabacoa, D.R. Everyday at 4pm they would have cartoons on the national broadcasting channel the D.R. had and they would put on Jem and the Holograms along with G.I. Joe, Super Mario Bros and at times Transformers. Of course it would be completely SAP'ed in Spanish. Everything but the songs were in Spanish and everyday for 3 months I would make sure I was back home @ 4pm just to watch Jem and the Holograms. I remember that Jem and her band would come with cassettes so that you could play along lip syncing as if you were Jem yourself. I loved it.



this commercial brought back so many memories!

Hannah Montana is kind of an imitation of Jem the only difference is that Jem was way more fashion orientated and her story was way cooler. Plus Jem had the look and the life everyone aspired to have.

Holy shit I found more! I remember this!! My friends from my old Corona hood had this!





I wish girls now a days had the chance to be little girls without the constant torture of being told whats on the outside is better than the inside. Now they're all rushing to grow up so fast.
