Nice...

for the hair... any bar soap (obviously something gentle for a baby) should do the trick for the mohawk fan (I used to use it on my own). Just take it in one hand and little water in the other, hold em together flat and pull the hair up between them.

For color, if you want semipermanent, Manic Panic is supposed to be so gentle you can dye pets with it, so i'd think it's likely ok for little ones, but it won't wash out right away. I have no idea what's in the spray on temporary kind, but i'd look into that or hair mascara. Also depending on how light her hair is naturally, you could try jello or cool aid (a lot of my friends did that in middle school before we discovered manic panic and a bunch of other semipermanents) but that also will not wash out immediately.

yep...i was going to say kool aid for the mohawk. that's what we used to do during the big junior high rebellion days.

i'm loving the ideas!
we don't do halloween but do do purim (the "jewish halloween" as mccain described it in a moment of multicultural um.....idiocy???) which is in the spring so i get to mooch off all your awesome ideas and clearance costumes. last year we were wonderwoman at one party and a flower at another.
