2. Shana wears this printed blouse and matching jacket ensemble for the first time in “The Rock Fashion Book” (aired Sep 27, 1986), but the screenshots above are from the episodes “The Princess and the Singer” (left) and “Old Meets New” (right). (Jem screenshots are from TubiTV).

My nieces are watching my Jem DVDs, they’re up to “The Rock Fashion Book,” and I still LOVE “Off and Runnin’” so much.

Reasons:

The Misfits’ total confidence that they can match or excel a professionally designed and shot photobook by taking photos themselves, at an amusement park full of people who don’t know what they’re doing, and I know this is most likely a practical limitation of what could be asked of the animators but they each have only one outfit.

That this is happening because Pizzazz found the professional photographer they’d hired annoying and threw him off her private beach

That Stormer wants to kiss the teddy bear and Pizzazz snatches it off her out of sheer meanness (but also Stormer why)

The whole SONG, absolutely one of their best - I always love the Misfits’ songs that are simply about brazen self-confidence (like “Universal Appeal” and “I Am a Giant”)

“We may have our ups and downs, but we’re still better than the rest of the clowns” - the Misfits acknowledge being clowns, but superior clowns

The rollercoaster track shots! The movement and complexity! It’s so cool!

I mean it scarcely needs to be said but they all look really hot

The spent “hahhh” sigh at the end

It's actually really ableist that I have several expensive interests and no money. I should be given 5k a month just autism related spending money

We did what girls do. Kissed. Took baths together. I was madly in love with Anita. She was so gorgeous. The one time we began to make love we were interrupted in flagrante by Mick and Keith. We were upstairs at Anita and Keith's house, caressing each other and kissing on the bed and in the middle of our lovemaking Mick and Keith walked in. Mick's attitude was, "Let's join 'em." But Keith put a stop to it right away. There's quite an old-fashioned side to him.

And if love finds me again

I hope it's someone who won't

leave me with all my love in my

hands.

"Anita was an exotic, ambitious, sexy, decadent, dangerous woman," observed Mankowitz. "In a word, she was trouble."
