'50s Hair | |
| Gidget / int_348e3263 | comment |
'50s Hair: This film has lot of it. Gidget's bangs and ponytail, a friend's pixie cut a la Audrey Hepburn, the curled and styled pageboy worn by her mother, the boys' sculpted and brylcremed haircuts, etc. | |

Tomboy with a Girly Streak | |
| Gidget / int_5312637f | comment |
Tomboy with a Girly Streak: Gidget is a tomboy that prefers surfing and sports to "manhunts" yet has no aversion to girly clothes and colors and cares a lot about her bust size. | |

Informed Deformity | |
| Gidget / int_80ae159c | comment |
Informed Deformity: A slight example. Although "Gidget" stands for "girl midget," and the title song is all about how the singer is attracted to Gidget despite how short she is, she is not actually much shorter than her girlfriends. Also one of Gidget's traits is A-Cup Angst, whereas she may not be as busty or curvy as the other women, she's rather well-proportioned and not flat (like her actress Sandra Dee was). | |

Informed Ability: The opening song describes Gidget as "a regular tomboy". By the standards of the day, maybe, but for then or now, she is still fairly girly. | |
