Your Assignment.
Go to your local record store (independent if possible) and purchase the album Finally Woken by Jem.
A few of you may say, “But she sounds like Dido!”
And I say don’t be so ridiculous. Dido is for your mother. Jem is for you. Now go, buy, listen, enjoy.
- drum roll please…
- It must be me.
Jem? Wasn’t that a rock-singer-type barbie doll from the 80’s?
That was Gem. Gem is excitement, ooooh Gem (Gem) is adventure…..
Is it wrong that I know some of the lyrics to that? Wasn’t there a computer or something named Synergy???
Jesus, this is sad.
Damnit, Marianne… I’m sorry! You were totally right! It is Jem.
Thank God for the internet.
I actually HAD a Jem doll. She was like a barbie on steroids. Barbie was only like 8 inches tall. Jem was like a foot and a half tall. Crazy shit.
Jem! Jem is truly outrageous. Truly truly truly outrageous.
