Comments/Trivia
  • 1 of 6 Music Is Magic Fashions, released in 1987
  • The name of this fashion is a not Jem song title.
Produced Variants So far, I have seen this fashion sold in the following packaging. Since they were all made in China, unless noted elsewhere I don't know if there are any country-of-release related differences or not:
  • US issue. 
  • Canadian issue
To read more about the differences in the fashion packaging, please go to Jem Fashion Box Variants.

Jacket: Purple lamé with pink ribbon accent, off-white lace trim, velcro closure.
Stirrup pants: Pink with black stripes spandex, elasticized waist and velcro closure.
  • This pattern was going to be reused for other clothing pieces in 1988, according to the photos in the Hasbro Pre-Toy Fair Catalogue Matching Medley Fashions.
top: White stretch cotton with velcro closure in back
  • This pattern was going to be reused for other clothing pieces in 1988, according to the photos in the Hasbro Pre-Toy Fair Catalogue Matching Medley Fashions.
Hair bow: Purple lamé with pink ribbon accent, off-white lace under layer.
pumps: Indigo straight-edged pumps.
  • The two Music is Magic outfits with pumps came with distinct shoe molds that have a very large letter (backwards, A thru D found so far) printed inside the sole. This seems to be the easiest way to tell this shoe apart from other purple straight edged shoes. However, it is also possible that some Electric Chords fashions came with thin edged dark purple shoes. Go to the shoe guide to read more about the differences.
keyboard with strap: Pink plastic with painted keys, thick white ribbon strap.

Box, liner and inserts not previously noted in Hasbro's box contents above.
*I don't own this fashion NRFB so I can't say which, if any posters and inserts originally came with it. Have included poster and MTV offer in Italics - it seems reasonable to assume these items would also come with Rock 'n Roses as they came with all other Music is Magic fashions that I have opened.
