Rock 'n Curl Jem & The Holograms Doll Commercial 1987

[theangelkap]

i think this commercial got me hokked on stalking ebay for my Jem. i love her so.. nwo if only i had sewing patterns for her...

[Pandora714]

I LOVE Jem and I loved playing with the dolls...but you gotta admit, put them next to Barbie..and they look like trannies. 

[teetee186]

I just brought on from esty.com

[Cerridwen247]

I had that Jem doll. I always used to pretend that the Jem dolls were Barbie or Ken's moms since they were taller.

tia

[kimmiedan12]

Can you imagine if they revamp the whole jem doll line today? How come g.i joe and transformers got new cartoons even my little pony. Now hopefully they at least release the rest of the jem episodes on dvd.

[Cerridwen247]

@kimmiedan12 I don't want to imagine what they'd do with Jem to revamp the show. The bastardization of My Little Pony and Transformers already give me nightmares.

Oh and if you live in Canada and get Teletoon retro you can watch Jem on the weekends :)

[savannahslimm]

i loved my gem doll, but it was awkward playing house with her and my barbies cause gem was soooooooo fuckin huge...LOL!!!

[Violetlass]

She was my first Jem Doll

[shadowfanflowers]

if only the styling products i used allowed me to achieve that level of AWESOME when it comes to my hair!!! JEM FOREVER!!!!

[YTLOVER02]

I HAD THIS DOLL.

[hotgossibtv]

to much volume

[sonyakitty9]

Did the girl just say shes prettier than us? Oh a doll that boosts your confidence...

[Elindress]

@sonyakitty9 no, she says "she's prettier than ever", I believe :)

[UberObsessed]

Oh God......not another Barbie knockoff....this is worse than Cyndi Lauper.....no offense to her, she's awesome and I love "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun", but she had some wild hair.

[alexbabs12345]

@UberObsessed Actually, Barbie was the knockoff this time :)

[joyjoy70301]

the girl singing this song has a cocaine-falsetto, like amy winehouse

[diesel420power]

Britta's great

[Sourpiemun]

Wow I wonder if Uncle Betty Freeman did her hair?LOL

[OMGitsaBLAST]

this was when corporate america was beautiful.

[czerwony45]

One wonders if the Jem songs were written in such a high register so they would be easier for little kids to screech along with. I, for one, remember singing these songs at the top of my lungs with Fisher-Price microphone in hand.

I wonder what she is saying at 0:21

"Rock N' Curl Jem's got hell to raise, watch out!"

Lol I can't seem to figure it out, but I sure like my version.

[Elindress]

:Rock'n'curl Jem's got hair to tease around" - I think it is something like that

[OMGsImS]

re-quote "Rock n Curl Jem Got Hair to rave about"

[Elindress]

oh no, it's "..hair to rave about"

[czerwony45]

Lol thanks!  I don't know how I missed that, it seems so clear now.

[Ravingprep]

I like czerwony45's original version better. :P

[OMGsImS]

quote "Rock n Curl Jem Got hair to raise"

Ephesis On "HAIR"

[phix95]

I still have ALL my Jem/Misfits dolls, lol.

[Alora666]

I still have a lot of these dolls- I still love Jem... :)

[kandykream731]

i remember i used to cry for this doll

[landcommander1981]

Is she wearing a variant or a long sleeved version of the first issue blue/white striped Jerrica striped dress?

[dinarama1980]

This was the cheapo Jem...no light up earrings or anything and her hair was too long and curled...too barbie .

[Marmalade000000]

Wow!! Britta Philips (singing voice of Jem) really has one heck of a voice!!

[kittybitty99]

That is too funny. I was just thinking that then read your comment!

[miamivicepastels83]

i noticed that too!

[phix95]

Yes! I loved her voice! I learned all the Jem songs but could never sing like her when I was 10 or 11. She's got pipes for sure.

[WontPlayWellWithU]

I love how the hair in the 80's was bigger the better. That's so funny that the only accesory that came with her was a comb to tease her hair out. I wish I still had my Jem doll!

[PaisleyVixen69]

i had this 1,but i liked the 1 with the star earings better...remember u would push a button and they would flash.lolz

Did anyone ever notice how huge Jems feet were?

[staziarose]

to fix curly jem doll hair that has been combed and teased spray with a very light mist of water (very light) and for rock'n curl I wrapped around bobby clips (hair pins, not sure what you call in america), came out like new! Have fixed up Stormer and Video do's like this too.

[FreiheitGleichheit88]

I just got mine in the mail yesterday. I thought she'd be a meh doll, but she's BEAUTIFUL, and her hair is great, even if her earrings don't light up. ^_^ That's what I have first edition, Glitter and Gold, and Flash and Sizzle Jem dolls for. ^_^

[SexVampireBite]

I love Jem, but that's a kind of useless doll. "ooh, curl her hair". The doll with the light up star earrings is the best.

[678BUMPERLOVER]

man i wish it wasn't such a crime for adults to play with toys

[MizCrystal98]

I just won a Rock 'n Curl Jem off eBay still in the box and that is where she is staying...her hair was a nightmare after you teased it out.

[TeenSleuthTim]

Okay, she's like the worst Jem doll they made, but I LOVE this commerical! I LOVE the theme song! It just gets stuck in my head!

[poisonrage]

LMAO @ 'you can tease it out'! I never had this doll, I had the Glitter & Gold doll with flashing star earrings woohoo! lol... The simple toys back then, the biggest feature was being able to style a doll's hair lol... I miss Jem!

[cwinnipeg]

Thanks Hasbro... Thanks for telling us to TEASE the hair out... Because of that, 80% of these dolls have some horrible matty mess for hait... >_<

[Silvawynta]

LMAO!

[seraphim1983]

I had her but it use to drive me nuts she didn't have the star earrings which was weird lol

[patriciacarrasco]

AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Im in a jem-frenzy right now!!!! somebody help me!!! i love her so much!

[mdksailormoon]

I want one SO BAD!!!! :)
