As you can see from my avatar, I'm a redhead and *very* proud if it. I wondered if there are any other redheads out there who want to celebrate and show off their fabulous hair colour for all the world...well, BTS anyway...to see? Fans of redheads also very welcome...of course.

I got teased mercilessly as a child for having red hair, and I gradually realised that it made me much stronger and more resilient, growing up with the constant torments of being called "carrot top", "ginger!" (which I hate with a passion...it's NOT ginger, it's RED!), and a few other not so nice names. It's a very cruel thing to do to any child.

There is also a long, and not really spoken about tradition in Scotland that redhaired women are witches...well, that's right!*wink!*...and I feel the prejudice even in my own family...they are always trying to get me to cut my hair short...to make less of it...when I have long hair almost to my waist that I want to show off.

So...can we show off and celebrate a bit please? It's such a special thing and quite rare, although I believe Scotland has the highest percentage of population in the world with red hair, at about 13%.

Also, if anyone knows of other indiginous peoples around the world with red hair, irrespective of skin colour, let us all know...I think there are African Caribbean people with dark skin and red hair who have Scottish ancestry...I hope I got that right!

And Famous Redheads..

Let me kick off with a few...

Nicole Kidman
Prince Harry
David Caruso

Add some more please!


Blessings


Caitlin (the redhaired witch...and proud of it!)

Oh HELL yeah, I'll get in on this one for sure.

RedHeads UNITE!

I'm proud of my fire, better believe it...

**Dancing around all giddy at the opportunity to finally feel important for being crimson...


All ginger...





Feast your eyes on that cayenne pepper babeh!





Whoohoo I'm on fire!





Well, actually, my hair is getting darker as I get older, you might can tell that it's more auburn now but bleh... The goatee is still pretty firery.

Here is a pic of my favorite redhead in the entire universe....my neice and namesake..........



Jeez, she's adorable....go ahead, star it! She's full of life, smart, and keeps a balance between her girly girl side and her tomboy side.

My mom always wanted a redheaded grandbaby, she passed away a few months before my neice was born.

I think Bachelor wins the baby pic contest! How cute was that?!

Ha, tell that to my poor ol' mama. She said when I was born that I was such an ugly little wrinkled purple thing that the only reaction she could manage to seeing me, was just to laugh. And I had two little red hairs sticking out of my head.

A face not even a mother could love apparently.

You guys are all gorgeous redheads. And wait until my neice sees how many stars she has.


Rush

She's a bit skinny...and she has white bits where her bikini was....and footballer's thighs...and her head's too big for her body...and she's got no hips....and bad breath....suppose she's ok...


**sulking**


Cait

No stars for baby Bachelor? C'mon now, just cuz' all yall was some ugly azz babies ain't no reason to be hate'n.



Cait, you put that redhaired model to shame, no worries.

BTW people this is not a "Who is your favorite redhead hottie" thread.

Precisely why this is the thread I posted my pics in, rather than the typical attention-ho threads that are scattered around the place... This thread is respectful and in good taste, it's about a hair color and not how hot or not someone is.

I actually have auburn hair.....although it looks a tad more red in the sunshine. The chick I get to cut my hair loves the colour, Im only partial.

I think we should be included as a minority group and reap extra benefits from the government...whos with me!!!!!???





Sorry bout the horrible image btw....should update it with a better one...lol

Oz! Dude I am so with you on that one... the gov needs to pay up! Redheads get treated freakier than all other minority groups combined, it's time we get some benefits for pain and suff'rin. Jews think they got it rough? Muslims think they got it rough? Blacks think they got it rough? Try growing up with red hair you mudafuggas!!

yea...
