Scarlett's show du jour is Jem and the Holograms or as she likes to call it Jam. I used to love Jem when I was a little one. It was my favorite. I didn't even need the Jem doll with the light up earrings to love her. Good thing too, since I never got one and I had to hang out with annoying Danielle just to play with her Jem doll. She didn't even appreciate her Jem doll! She used it as a pawn to get me over there that's all Jem was to her. I would have never treated my Jem doll that way. But I digress.
So, I'm watching Jem last night for the first time in about 25 years. (Shit I'm old) I start remembering little things about the plot. This show is pretty fucked up! Ok so check it. Jericca ( yes Jericca) Benton is our main character. She is dating Rio (yes Rio and yes I bet he dances on the sand). Jericca has an alter ego, JEM! Well, Rio doesn't know that Jem is in fact his girlfriend, Jerrica. Seriously guys if you're going to keep secrets like this your relationship is never going to work. Anyway, so Rio and Jerrica are all hunky dory. But you know sometimes at night Jerrica disappears. What's weird though is that she only vanishes when Jem's performing. She must really NOT be a fan of that Jem. Rio doesn't seem to notice. When Jerrica is out of sight she's apparently out of mind too. So when Jem's around Rio is on her like bread on butter, white on rice, flies on poop. I mean it's obvious he has feelings for Jem too. And Jerrica knows she's really Jem but Rio doesn't! So as far as Rio knows he's diggin 2 girls. But Jem/Jerrica has NO problem with that? Really? Where's your damn backbone girl? You're a hot lady of the 80's get out there and find yourself someone who can handle all you're givin' out. Rio is obviously NOT that guy. You and Kimber should take a girls night and go guy hunting. That's what you need.
Does any of the above make any sense at all? I thought so. Good.
My favorite part of Jem are the names. I'll make a name list for you guys. You're welcome any preggos who are reading this I bet you'll find your bambinos name right here. I for one kind of want to make another baby JUST to use a Jem name.
