The red jumpsuit she is wearing in the photo I posted has nothing to do with the night of the murder or anything she was wearing that night. The only reason it was mentioned by PR ( and so discussed by us) is that she was shown crime scene photos showing BOTH the red jumpsuit and the red turtleneck and was asked about them by LE. PR stated in those interviews that the jumpsuit was not "street wear" and was a costume for performing. She said that all the little girls in the Amerikids Christmas performance at the mall wore that same red jumpsuit. Think of it like a dance recital costume. The fabric is similar to a Danskin leotard.
If the "abrasions" on JBR were made by snaps, they did not come from that jumpsuit, and she did not wear it that day. The last time she wore it (maybe the ONLY time) was at the performance in the mall with her Amerikids dance group.
JBR wore the black velvet pants and vest with the white Gap top to the White's. I haven't seen them, of course, but I can imagine both the vest and the pants (which were really jeans made of black velvet) had snaps. Too bad no one has photos of the Gap outfit from their girl's winter line, 1996. PR mentioned the entire outfit came from the Gap, was bought as a set, and that's why JBR wanted to wear the whole outfit together. JBR didn't want to wear the red shirt that her mother wanted her to wear because it was the white shirt with the silver sequin star that came with the outfit. Little girls that age LOVE sparkly things- if it were my daughter, she'd have wanted to wear the white sparkly shirt instead of a red turtleneck, too.
As far as her hair, I recall reading where PR's hairdresser claimed PR had asked her to highlight JonBenet's hair and she refused. She said she simply would not color the hair of a child. I don't know if PR ever found another hairdresser, or if she did it herself all the time.
She did it herself. And there was a strong smell of peroxide in one of the bathrooms, that morning when investigators arrived.
