Our Little Princess won’t let me brush her hair, ever. It’s like a nest of watermelon hairspray and randomly self-inserted hairclips that hang in the middle of her hair, not really holding anything in place but rather, just hanging on like little anchors. Sweet.

A little bit rock n roll.

I’m going to order these to see if she’ll let me put them in on TOP of her head—you know, where the bangs are. Click here to get yours—they’re $3.25 for a pair, and check out all the lovely designs by this artist at her Supa Designs shop. PS: at a back-to-school event today I realized I was wearing a shiny purple flower clip in my hair… nice.

Our Little Princess is nuts about this. She brings it in the bath every night and demands I put Barbie’s pink-streaked hair into a pony tail. This has prompted our LP to want pink hair (not sure if that’s a good thing).

The tail doesn’t actually “Move like she’s swimming” as it says in the ad, but if you squeeze Barbie’s hips, she flaps her tail. Little P’s hands aren’t strong enough, but when I do it, LP goes “ooooh!” The tiara comes off and goodness help you if you lose it… All in all a good investment.
