The Dramatis Personae-- Jerrica/Jem [and the Holograms!]
I can never let myself watch too much of Jem and the Holograms, because pretty soon I'm focused what I have in my wardrobe and what I need so that I can be a Hologram all of the time. Because of their saccharine sweet songs, do-good attitudes, and ability to look their best for any situation, Jem and the Holograms are our Dramatis Personae.
Business woman Jerrica by Day, Party Girl Jem by Night, this dynamic duo is like the Electro Rock version of the mullet. Something like that. And whether the band is hanging off a cliff in their jazzy convertible, battling the Misfits, or volunteering and running the Starlight House, these girls were truly truly outrageous.
Rock your own Jem and the Holograms style with some of fashion's big hits this season-- booties, opaque colored tights, the revival of cocktail hats and fluffy hair pieces, vibrant and bold eyeshadow and lipsticks. Be your own Ballsy and Beautiful Businesswoman by day, and a Delightful and Daring Rock Diva by night. Tear that bottom layer off of your calf length skirt for an instant micro mini that's as easy as saying Show Time Synergy!
What isn't there to love about this colorful group of girls? They're fashionably savvy, business smart, driven by a sense of community service and dedication, and they never stoop to the level of the Misfits. Is there any wonder where the Spice Girls got their Girl Power attitudes from?

Gilda-- you would LOVE Jem and the Holograms! I bet it'd be a great source of inspiration for your designs, too.
Jem was this fantastic cartoon that came out in the 80s-- I remember watching it when I was really little. Jerrica is a business woman running a music company during the day, and she creates an alter-ego named Jem. They battle an angsty little band called the Misfits all of the time, and people have great names like Kimber, Pizzazz, Storm, and Roxy. They are all getting in to crazy sorts of trouble, and there is even a love triange with Rio (the band manager), Jerrica, and Jem! It's fantastic.
If you want to see it, I am pretty sure that Netflix has it for rent. YouTube supposedly has quite a few episodes online as well.
