VINTAGE BARBIE RESTORATION! Vintage MIDGE doll makeover! REPAINT RESTYLE her hair! 1960s Barbie!

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!!
