Jem and the Holograms - Pioneers in Women's PV?

Unread postby rainbowgirl28 » Thu Nov 29, 2007 10:00 pm

I suspect you are all either too young, too old, or too male to have any idea what I am talking about, but I happened to stumble upon some pole vaulting inside one of Jem and the Holograms music videos.

This was in the mid-80's, well before women's pole vault was an event.

I am sure everyone has their reason, but I like your photo on your old posts. That way when we "fans" see you in person at a meet we know who you are.

It's not the "pink hair" I don't believe.

It is the lack of muscle tone.

Unfortunately, I was forced to begin watching Jem every Sunday Morning because back then every other Sunday morning was a different cartoon on that channel at that certain time. It was either Jem and the Holograms, Bigfoot and the Muscle Machines, The Inhumanoids or Robotix. Just to make it clear, I changed the channel once the opening of Jem started.
Yes, I grew up in the 80's.

Why are there two of them going at once? Synchronized vaulting? ;)
