FREE Glitter’n Gold cassette tape with Rockin’ Refund offer. I figured this was scaled back and became the Sizzling Spring Savings cassette and $2.50 refund offer, but it seems this was a call in offer that expired November 29th, 1986 — months before Glitter’n Gold Jem was revealed at the 1987 Toy Fair. @truly_truly_truly_outrageous posted the commercial for the call in. Funny that it says that the cassette comes with “Glitter’n Gold” and two other hits, but “Back in Shape” was the only other song besides the Jem theme. Like the original Jem Free Cassette offer, this cassette should have had all 3 songs from the Glitter and Gold episode. I got this marketing sheet from #carleighhoff around 22 years ago and I got another from the designer of Graphix and Red Dress Pizzazz. #callinoffer #mailinoffer #jem #jemandtheholograms #trulyoutrageous #freecassette #freecassettetape #glitterngold #glitterngoldjem #rockinrefund #sizzlingspringsavings https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpp5PQtOMZD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy Mardi Gras!!! A few more pictures of the Mardi Gras fashions. You might notice other prototype fashions in the background, most of them made it to eBay in the 2000s. #jem #jemandtheholograms #trulyoutrageous #hasbro #sunbow #marvel #jemmardigras #mardigrasfashions #mardigras #mardigras2023 #totallyjem #riot4jem #prototypes #carleighhoff https://www.instagram.com/p/Co7O9wWuKbZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I was thinking it was Easter Sunday 10 years ago, but actually it was 11 years ago. I received a reply to an email I sent with about 50 questions — all most all of them were answered. And this is the fabric that made finding that designer possible. These scribbles include the designers who worked in Girls’ Soft Group (Plush). And it was that email reply that really gave me an understanding of the responsibilities of all the different Hasbro design groups and how they worked together to create something special like Jem. You’ll recognize the fabric from a few of the Matching Melody Fashion Assortments in the 1988 Pre-Toy Fair Catalog. It was later used for the 1988 Red Dress Pizzazz doll. Her designer is also named in this fabric, because she worked in Girls’ Soft Goods, but she moved into Girls’ Hard Group when Hasbro eliminated the Soft Group. Some of the highlights from that email was that Graphix’s accessory was a video distorter magic wand. I also found out that international fashions were canceled by the marketing department. I had learned about the international fashions nine years prior from Carleigh Hoff. I also found out from the email that American Beauty was created to introduce red into the line. I also learned there was a little black dress Jem doll designed, but marking killed that doll too. That email answered so many other questions about Jem, Maxie, Sindy and more. I always reminded of that email every Easter. #1988pretoyfair #carleighhoff #reddresspizzazz #littleblackdressjem #jem #jemandtheholograms #trulyoutrageous #showtimesynergy #totallyjem #riot4jem #matchingmedleys https://www.instagram.com/p/CcdiYEsJsC5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
