Today’s Friday Girl needs no introduction. She has been a featured on a Friday before and in numerous fashion show and story posts but never in her original outfit. Yes, it’s Midge! I bought her from eBay USA NRFB and she was probably my first articulated doll and one of the first with short hair. I found her outfit when I was going through some clothing the other day and it is all there except the sunglasses. I am sure I have seen these around however.

I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband, David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. Currently we have five pets between us. Naomi's two dogs Toby and Teddy and cats, Tigerwoods and Panther and my cat Polly. My dog Cindy passed away aged 16 in April 2022.

  2. So upscale Action girl! Her eyes remind me of Hip to be square Barbie, as I have a duplicate I should try a bob on her..Fun gal I could see her hangin w/ G.I, Joe or the Action man guys too..So great for seasonal dress up as well.

  4. Wow, I would love this girl myself, we are all Aviation enthusiasts in my family. I have taken dolls to airshows with me to do photographs. I got a great shot of an Action Man and Barbie watching the Red Arrows, sat on the roof of the car.
