Comments/Trivia	1 of 8 Flip Side Fashions, released in 1986 The name of this fashion is a not Jem song title. One of the easier Jem fashions to find.
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 Flip Side Fashions, 1986 (illustrated box) Made in China H22 (fashion featured on this ID page is this issue) US issue Flip Side Fashions, 1986 (illustrated box) Made In China H22 (It seems likely there is an H22 variation but I haven't seen one yet personally.) Canadian issue Flip Side Fashions, 1986 (illustrated box) 6 language Flip Side Fashions, 1986 (illustrated box) To read more about the differences in the fashion packaging, please go to Jem Fashion Box Variants.

	pumps: royal purple straight edged pumps. the same shade as those from We're Off And Running. There is most likely a thin-sided version as well as the thick sided version shown left.
	sunglasses: purple with triangular shaped nose. See a photo beside the glasses that came with Rappin'. There is also a wider nose-notch version of these glasses (note they are not the same style as the Rappin' glasses) which I believe would have come from an H44 box.

Bold listings are those I have used to create this ID page. Anything in Italics I haven't actually seen but have good reason to believe exists. If you have any photos or information/corrections to share, I'd love to hear about it!

Hasbro catalogues	# City Lights and the other Flip Sides in the 1986 US Hasbro Toy Fair Catalogue (see left) The glasses look opaque, other than that, looks like the produced fashion. # City Lights in the 1986 German Leaflet (same photo appears in the 1986 Belgium catalogue): had yellow shoes and no sunglasses. # The drawing of City Lights on the 1986 Flip Side Fashions box art is nearly spot on. Good job! # It did appear on the cartoon. # It is one of the outfits featured in the Rock Backstager commercial. It may be in other commercials I haven't yet screen captured for this site.
