Me too. I thought 'she would look so much better with a flapper bob...oops now she looks like a something out of a survival horror film'.

i used to do the same thing. i also used to colour her hair with food colouring (red, blue) and colour more makeup on her with markers. additionally, we were poor and so my barbie didn't really have any extra clothes besides the ones she came with so i used to sew her some new fashions.
i definitely had hangups of wanting to be skinny and beautiful like her. but Betty and Veronica had a bigger effect on me.
I used to make
tons of Barbie clothes. (I still have them.) I actually preferred making the clothes than playing with the dolls. But I never thought Barbie was beautiful. She had such a weird shaped body. I had two Skipper dolls, Barbie's little sister, who had no boobs at all, and I much preferred them. Whenever I played with the Barbie, she was the mom. I never thought she was glamorous.
I tried to make clothes for my Barbies. I failed miserably.
