Joan River’s Fashion Place on E!
duet a new segment called “That’s some spread.”
This first segment was about Nicole Kidman’s spread
in V Magazine, photography by Mario Testino. Co-host George
Kotsiopoulos said, “She looks like Jem and the Holograms.
I love the 80’s eyeliner” Another co-host
Kelly Osbourne (with her lavender hair) said, “Jem
and the Holograms meets Deborah Harry.” …
All failed to notice the use of the letter “V”
as an accessories, similar to the “M” and
later “J” that showed up in some Jem prototypes.
The shot of Nichole in the black dress looks a little
like a black version of Jerrica’s “Up R Rockin™”
with out the blouse. The bra and skirt seems a little
like “Just Misbehavin’™” with
out the jacket, the color of the skirt was used in some
Misfits fashions and would be great for the Stingers.
Last but not least the showed Nichole in a bright red
fur coat with bra and underwear – seemed very “Purple
Haze™”

Jem's 3rd appearance on Robot Chicken
-- "Punctured Jugular" (S6/Ep03)
Man, "Oh wow, that was sex." Jem , "I
fell so close to you. I want you to know the truth about
me. I'm not only Jem... (switches) ...I'm also Jerrica
Benton." Man, "Oh, that's great. How about
switching back over to Jem. Not big on Jerrica."
Toy Hunter "West Coast Wonders”
(S1/Ep08) is the second time a Jem doll has appeared.
This time it was a boxed Glitter’n Gold Jem/Jerrica,
which Jordan ended up buying from George – but they
did not give the price he paid or the amount he expects
to get :( But at least Jem was front and center for a
few seconds. Wonder if he will be selling her at 2012
New York Comic Con. It just kills me that there is a Kmart
sticker right in the middle of the window.
