I will admit it, I miss Saturday morning cartoons. Can you remember waking up, running to the tv and watching all the great shows while your parents were occupied doing other things? Some of my favorite childhood memories involve these special mornings. I wrote a blog about this a few years ago which you can read here.
One of my all-time favorite cartoons is Jem and The Holograms! How could you not love this show filled with intrigue, fashion, and music? To this day, I get these songs stuck in my head. A few years ago, I went as Pizzazz, the meanest Misfit (and possibly the meanest cartoon character of all-time… truly, she tries to MURDER people…. whoa) for our yearly Halloween costume party. (Man, I miss those days!!!)
My favorite character was Aja since she was Asian, and as a half-Asian kid in the 80’s, it was pretty rare seeing an Asian woman with blue hair. I then became obsessed with Mynx from the Stingers since she had super straight blonde hair like me! At the time, I was an only child, and I had almost all of the dolls and would play the cassette tapes every night.
Check out this “gem” of a picture of me hanging out with my favorite doll while listening to the tape. I have the Jem and the Holograms box set, so I can watch any episode from my childhood whenever I want! I’m a sucker for “Midsummer Night’s Madness,” since it has my favorite song of all time “Can’t Get My Love Together” in it along with Greek Gods and Goddesses! They just don’t make cartoons like they used to. (Believe me, I know!)
