Midge isn't supposed to be the May Queen

 I am showing you photos of the front and back of the McDonald's Happy Meal Wedding Day Midge from 1991.  Until I photographed the back side I hadn't noticed how reminiscent she was of an early 1900s Catholic May Crowning Virgin Mary figure.  If you don't know what that is, Catholic school children walked in a parade behind a large statue of Mary who was covered with flowers.  May crowning was always on the first.
It's easy to see that this is Midge and not Barbie because of the red hair.
I never knew that Midge was Catholic!

It's easy to see that this Happy Meal figure is Midge and not Barbie because of the red hair.
