  • Isn’t she beautiful? Well, not particularly. Midge is definitely not the most glamorous, or gorgeous, but she was made that way on purpose. More so than today, Barbie back in the early 60s caused quite a stir. Most of it was positive. But some of it was negative. To the conservative parents who didn’t like Barbie’s glamorous look, Mattel made midge in efforts to still be able to market to them. She was labeled “girl next door” and truthfully she was. Where Barbie at that time was more pensive and alluring, Midge was more approachable. With her forward gaze, usually derpy. And little smile, which first editions had teeth later ones didn’t, she was a cute alternative. And cute was the game plan, as Tammy was around at this time as well as many other competitors, but Tammy didn’t have Barbie’s glamorous wardrobe or Mattel’s expert design team. Midge did. She prevailed until 1967, where Mattel ditched Midge, Allen, and Ken, for Barbie’s new MOD look and her on going career as a fashion model. As at this time Barbie ditched her other careers to just have one. Being a fashion model!
    In this video I will discuss and show in detail how to clean, repaint, and restyle her hair! I hope this is helpful to you and a good resource for you. Enjoy!!

    Good job with homely old Midge! Poor girl. I'd bet that doll never saw so much love!!!❤ I also have some Midges the one with brunette hair I ventured to give her some reddish orange lips and the result was pretty. On a sandy blonde I gave her a nice golden brown brow with a nicer shape, touched her eyes with a metallic blue for the iris but very slightly then gave her a raspberry coloured lipstick 💄! What a happy and pretty change. I enjoy your crazy videos!!!😊

      Thank you so much!! I hope midge felt the love. She’s so cute when she looks new. Sometimes midges can look ugly, no matter what you do with them. But I’ve seen the most beautiful customs! By the way you spoke, I bet your midges are gorgeous! I actually just found another midge who’s in worse condition. So I may revisit her lol

    I absolutely love your channel! Your sense of humor is on Point period. You are hilarious. You make me happy and you’re so knowledgeable. I have a vintage Barbie number four or five not sure which one she has but she has the green ears. Can you do a video about that and extensive step-by-step instructions? Thank you! My new favorite channel by far! Also, do you have an Instagram?

      @@myloveylove123I am pretty sure a number 4 has a solid body (so more heavy) and if you can tell depending on the condition a number 4 has little curly
      Bangs, number 5’s have hollow body’s and frizzy large curled bangs. I hope that helps, I am also bad at telling what numbers are what, it is confusing!

    This is great! I tired something similar to this but it did not work well, so I will definitely try this when I give my crazy midge a makeover. Also you have a good sense of humor. I always liked to make midge as a crazy drunk and gave her G. I. Joes gun, I also thought of Barbie as a snobby Rich lady who would make fun of midge. I have been a weird child. Anyways midge is one of my favorite dolls so thank you for bringing her back to life!

      Thank you so much for watching:) I’m glad you liked the video! Midge always looks kinda derpy, due to her eye placement and how she was designed. I think she looks best with eye glasses lol hides whatever she has going on lol

    What kind of gel did you water down and what the mix ratio? The way it brushed out turned out so nice. I would have thought the gel would get flaky when brushed out.

      I used got to be glued, one small dollop. Then the rest is water. Shake it up and boom! You have a perm kit! I can do a whole video on it if you’d like.
