My sons want to be FBI on Purim and I'd like to dress my (only) daughter in something connected to that but more girly. Any ideas????

I hear you! Do FBI agents have a reputation like the police do for loving donuts? Could that be your tie in to cupcakes? Kind of a stretch tho...

Then she'll make an excellent spy!
Nobody suspects one-year-olds of espionage.

Stop the presses! Y'all are apparently too young to see the obvious theme here:
20th Anniversary of the X-Files!
Plop an auburn wig on DD, and you're good to go! The MM makes itself: a brown paper bag with sunflower seeds and iced tea.
And if DD won't keep a wig on, re-use the bee costume: she'll be the genetically-engineered bee that stung Scully in the famous hallway scene.
I know, I know: there are problems with this theme. Many of the recipients were busy learning bladder control when this show was a hit, and the rest don't watch TV and won't have a clue. Those are the risks with a high-concept theme! To quote a line from Lily Tomlin's guest appearance on said program, "It's not a perfect science."
DIGRESSION ALERT:
How, you might ask, did a more-or-less non-TV-watching Yeshivish woman become an expert on a TV program to the point that she can pull quotes out of the air?
Starting in 1993, I had four babies in two calendar years, and then another a few years later. So I spent most of the mid- to late-90s up all night feeding, changing, or rocking somebody. And to keep from drifting off and dropping said somebody on his/her head, I watched whatever was being re-run. Apparently science fiction-y things are popular re-runs in the middle of the night, because I became an expert not only on The X-Files, but Star Trek: Next Generation; The Highlander; Stargate; Hercules; Xena, Warrior Princess, and probably others I'm forgetting.
The biggest downside to all this is that my mind conjures up the smell of spit-up and wet diapers whenever I see or hear one of the performers from these enterprises (no pun intended). Hardly an earth-shattering problem, but it does make me sad that I can't really enjoy all the British costume dramas that Gillian Anderson stars in. While it's highly unlikely that Ms. Anderson actually smells like spit-up and wet diapers herself, that's where my mind takes me when I hear her voice. Kevin Sorbo has a large-ish family, so it's quite possible that he actually does smell like spit-up from time to time.

Hey Fox:
They have better late-night TV where you are.
I rmember wih my first child, the best thing on late at night was the original Japanese Iron Chef series, sort of dubbed in English (not really dubbed, voiced-over). It was hilarious!
