![]() ![]() Allan, as you can guess, was Ken’s best friend and was also the redhead to Ken’s blonde. Midge was, in simple terms, the ugly best friend compared to the fabulous Barbie. Barbie was a blonde bombshell whereas Midge was made as a redhead with freckles and was designed with less makeup and fashion sense. Midge is Barbie’s best friend and in many ways, a complete opposite of Barbie. In 1963, Midge Hadley was introduced, and a year later, so was Allan Sherwood. ![]() Ken easily became synonymous with the Barbie brand, but few know of Barbie’s group of other friends and family. The doll was created in 1961 and was named after Handler’s son and Barbara’s brother (which is extremely weird if you think about it). Not long after, Mattel introduced Barbie’s longtime boyfriend, Ken Carson, famously known as Ken. The company went bankrupt, which was the end of Bild Lilli, and the start of Barbie’s legacy. The first case ended with a settlement, and the second case was eventually dismissed. The creators of the Bild Lilli doll were not too happy and sued Mattel twice. In Barbie’s first television ad, a woman sings from the point of view of a young girl: “Till then, I know just what I’ll do: Barbie, beautiful Barbie, I’ll make believe that I am you.” Barbie made her official debut at the American International Toy Fair in New York City in 1959 and became an instant success, selling 300,000 dolls in her first year. Handler hopped on a plane to Japan with a Mattel researcher and two years later, Barbara ‘Barbie’ Millicent Roberts was born – lovingly named after Handler’s own daughter. Handler then sought to make a doll with an adult female body like Bild Lilli, but rebranded as an all-American girl that young girls can play with and dress up. She was scantily clad and became an adult toy popular amongst German men. Handler noticed that her daughter Barbara was playing with paper dolls and while on a business trip in Switzerland in 1956, Handler came across a German doll called Bild Lilli, a fashion doll with an adult female body and inspiration struck.īild Lilli was based off a comic strip and was much more risqué.
