Random Snow white hair question

[AAmom]

We will be going to the MNSSHP in a few weeks with friends and their kids. My friend really wanted the kids to match- so the boys are Dalmatians and the girls will be snow white. Only problem is my daughter is blonde. I think it will look weird to be a blonde snow white, but my friend had already bought her daughter the dress. I tried the black hair chalk, and it was a messy disaster- never got more than a greyish color, and it seemed waxy/greasy in her hair & was a pain to wash out. I thought about trying the black hairspray you buy at the Halloween stores, but I heard its really hard to wash out as well. My daughter is only two and a half, so repeated hair washings at the same time will be a challenge. We are going to the park the day after the Halloween party, and I don't want my pictures of her to have messed up hair. This is her first trip, so these photos will be keepsakes....but a cool snow white picture of her would be great too. Anyone have any idea how I can achieve this? And no, I am not considering a wig for a two year old in 90 degree heat! ha ha

I'd just let her be blonde!

It's a costume, and it's a Halloween party. There's nothing "weird" about a child whose natural colouring doesn't match wanting to dress up as a particular character. Otherwise, the only princess a black child could ever be would be Tiana, and the only princess an Asian child could ever be would be Mulan.

Any child can be any princess. There's no rules saying their hair (or skin, or race, or anything else) has to match the cartoon character.

I'm sure your photos will turn out wonderfully, and she'll be adorable!

I still think she's lovely.

I'd let her be blonde.

Or you could get her the Sleeping Beauty costume and she'd be just right.

That way she's still part of a theme but not be matched if you are ok with being a bit different than your friends daughter.

I completely agree! Let her stay blonde. The pictures will still be great!

My DW is black and has dressed up for Halloween as many different Disney characters (Alice, Tinkerbell, Belle, and, yes, Tiana) and has never let her hair and skin color dictate her costume, only if she likes the character. She always looked great! We're going to MNSSHP for the first time this year, and she's dressing up as village Belle. Not that anyone would say anything, but she'll be prepared to remind anyone that Toni Braxton once played Belle on Broadway.

I agree with everyone else - let her be blonde.

Our DD is blonde - she's dressed up as every princess except Rapunzel and Merida. Her favorite is Tiana - picture a blonde Tiana with a short pixie type hair cut. Not traditional but simply adorable!
