Wednesday, October 31, 2012 at 9:34AM JEM and the Holograms LIVE at Holts
Before Gaga and WAY before the Biebs, there was the one (the only) JEM. Jem was her name, no one else was the same, Jem was her name. In case you missed the memo, JEM and the Holograms are coming to Holts this holiday season! Squeee! Holt Renfrew stores across Canada will carry the first four characters from the original collection, including CLASSIC JEM, her alter ego JERRICA BENTON (owner of Starlight Music), magical holographic computer SYNERGY and RIO PACHECO, JEM's road manager and brooding love interest. Oh, Rrrrio...sigh...
Each character comes dressed in a truly, truly, truly outrageous look, which includes a set of rockin’ '80s accessories like knee-high holographic boots, oh-so-magical-and-infinitely-powerful starburst earrings and of course bad-ass loafers for Rio. Hey, what's in the bag, Rio?
CLASSIC JEM, JERRICA BENTON, SYNERGY and RIO PACHECO are available for $125 each (limited quantities of 1 character per customer) at Holt Renfrew stores across Canada starting November 17th! No sign of The Misfits yet - they must still be on tour... Um, best gift, like, ever!
Is it too late to dress up like JEM for Hallowe'en? I am SO making that happen!
P.S - Okay, I SO did not make it happen. Still, I see absolutely nothing wrong with busting out the iridescent purple tights on say, any given Friday night. I'm on it.

I was the perfect age for JEM back in the mid-80s - I was five or six when the show first premiered! I think this is PERFECT for anyone in her early-to-mid 30s (maybe late 20s, too)!!
Just FYI: To be accurate, I'm pretty sure JEM premiered AFTER Madonna released Like a Virgin.
Ooh, you're right! Madonna release Like a Virgin in '84 and Jem came out in '85! My bad! Love them both
Ahhh nostalgia... Love JEM
They don't make 'em like they used to...
