Alexandra, you have nailed it, I have always have had an attitude.
Actually I feel all those poses when I am drawing or painting them. It was more true when I was doing Jem, when I was a size 4 at 5'7".
Oh I weep!
Congratulations on your wonderful painting making the grade on the ARC site.

Nothing to be ashamed of - Im sure they were painted from life.

Kim,
Are you kidding! The models then cost me $150 per hour! Hasbro paid for them, their costumes and custom wigs.
I loved doing it, it was a blast, plus I netted 100K in one year in 1986 dollars. I did it for another year 'til they stopped producing her.
I call my house the house that Jem built.
When I google Jem and my name, I find it attached to Japanese, French and South American web-sites, plus American ones. I have been invited to conventions and have done on-line interviews.
It actually has inspired in some way my ballerinas (Alex, you are right). I love painting big dollies.
Congratulations on your ARC prizes. Well deserved.

That's wild Sharon! There is a kind of similarity between then & now. What a neat experience that must have been!

I loved Jem when I was a little girl!
Come to think of it, they are likely why I grew up and dyed my hair blue and green and pink. My parents were so proud.
I never would've guessed, but I also see the similarities. Cheers!
