Ok, Who remember those Jem dolls?

Hangout GupShup Cafe

Salams ya’ll (girls mostly)… on 2nd thot, I started this thread just for Girl that I know so very well! :slight_smile:

I was reading a prgh on teams buildup for my class, and came across a word in here.Synergy. And brot back so many memories. Does anyone remember those Jem dolls… that song… Jem… Jem is my name, no one else’s the same… Trulllly outraaageous… trullly, trully :smiley: Perhaps Girl From Quraysh will finish rest of it.

Teams are often more creative than individuals. One of the key factors in effective teamwork, especially creative teamwork, is synergy. Synergy is a particular kind of energy that expands the talents, efforts, and strengths of individual members. It is rather like 2+2=5. When teams communicate effectively, one idea sparks another, ideas build upon ideas, and integrative thinking occurs.

So do you girls still love the barbie world or have managed to move on from staring at those barbie aisles for hours and hours. Damn it! My little sis ain’t lil’ no more, and I don’t have a reason to be standing there any longer. Other than that, its just amazing how an individual’s interest changes from one thing to another… Now I’m found standing in those super tech, computer equiped shops! Gulp Girl, I miss them old days! U know… we have to go out again sometime and spend hrs and hrs there in the t.d square, is it sears, or bay which has that special Purple and Pink window display of magic? How about that? :slight_smile: j.k.

So tell me, whats ur favourite section of items while window shopping guppos?

Adios!

hahaha.. yep jem truly outrageous..oohh jem truly outrageous...

but i didn't have a jem or barbie either..

i did have a cabage patch doll though..and i remember standing in line when simpsons had a big shipment to pick mine out..

i picked emily, that was her name.. and she had a baby soother..

i liked transformers better though.

transformers..more than meets the eye.

Wow! Nice to see atleast one person who knows about them :slight_smile:
Hmm… Transformers? I’m running week on memory U know what… some ppl in our class still talks about Transformers. I mean the big kids, not the girls. Oh yeah. NOw I remember. Those robot like thingers that’d change them selves into sport cars or super things like that rite? My bro had them.! Remember the JI Jo’s? Used to love those!

U know Amber, Girl had all of the Jem Dolls, and guess what she gave me.:mad: Flash! The one from the bad guys/girls:wink: With purple hair. So we pretended she’s (whats her face Girl?) Aaja?! Was it? Yeah so we pretended it was her. :slight_smile:

As far barbies… GOD! Amber, now I want to go back home, and get hold of my old collection and keep ‘em in my room again. :frowning: I had cool hair style barbie, and one of those Calafornia cool sports or the likes, barbie & Ken. OH and u know what! Girl blessed me with Super star Barbie and Ken.. Plus another skipper doll! I loved them. I aslo had that lil’ red-head kid doll, named Annie. I think there was a story about her, just like that other fiction character Heidi. And a couple others. But u know which one I always loved the most, except never had it. THe Pretty Perfume Barbie, where u cud stretch her dress and change its length. Speaking of that, does anyone recalls Dollie surprises… the one doll which’d change the position of her hands and her hair wud grow or get short??

Amber… Do u remember Calafornian Raisins? Cuz I loved them! ANd had a couple to those too! Man their funny faces were worth keeping in the room to cheer me up! :slight_smile:
Amber, I had cabage patch kids story books. Always wished for a doll, but wud get their books instead.I liked their cartoons too smiles
What about my little ponies? Had lots of those!

Adios!
DB:)

Thank goodness I wasn’t the only Jem wannabee!! lol, I used to love Jem, and believe it or not, I still do!! They’re showing the re-runs on tv, and I come home from university, and still watch it sometimes!

“We are the misfits, our songs our better, we are the misfits…” :smiley:

7

...the misfits, we are the misfits, no one's gonna get us. We are --"

"Jem, jem is the music, the music. The music is believing, believing. No one else is the same, Jem is my name, Jem!"

heheheh

hm, i think, it's cuz of that show i've always sorta wanted to go totally fashion crazy with the cool way they used to dress. I mean, to a certain extent,i really did like their clothes.....their hair colour....their hair style....their make up. :)(& yes, i know it was a cartoon & all).
Jem's group was so colourful, & innocent looking. Whereas, the Misfits were colourful in a evil looking kinda way. Know what i mean?

Alas, uff, it's like kinda hard to 'look' like them back in this reality world of ours.

Barbie was cool. I like her....but i liked Jem more.........dunno why. Maybe cuz, Jem was 'less popular' amongst the lil' girls compared to Barbie.
OoO, & then there was the Alice doll. Remember?

8

Never had dolls
come to think of it i dont know why
had all kinds of stuff
blocks, lego, tranis, cars, stuffed animals but NO Dolls
Daddi amma had a box full of kitchen utensils shipped from bihar for me once
they were so cute a small tawa and a small chamcha and all stuff
I remember making kheer in the small karahi over the pretend small choola by stealing atta and mixing it up with water and garnishing it with leaves

Now my kids dont like Dolls
I have bought and bought them all kinds of dolls
but umm no cars, blocks, puzzles and all that stuff but no dolls

Yeah Kohal, I used to love the way they dressed...really looked upto them! So bright n colourful and erm, 'ultra trendy'? lol

I still have all my barbie dolls by the way...and all my other toys as well, come to think of it!
