Oh my days, so great!

rolor asked you: I wonder what it is about red hair specifically. I got teased way more as a blonde ie called “dumb” than as a redhead, but never got called fake or a liar by natural blondes! No one owns a particular hair colour after all!

I guess redheads aren’t the only ones who are teased, are they? Brunettes and blondes all have their own “problems” too. Sophia Loren wasn’t born with red hair but she “made it her own” according to a blog I just read. So did Lucille Ball and Ann-Margret! (Love this photo, so great)
lovedressesartandredwine asked you:
[As a redhead] i love not to look like everyone, you don’t need bright clothes to catch eyes. i am very tall like 1,85 centimeters and in this combination you are not the girl next door you know :) one time, i was on a train and it stopped and it smelled like fire and the man sitting in front of me said totally serious “if we burn here, it doesn’t matter, witches like you will burn in hell anyway” but that didn’t bother me, it kind of amused me ;)

The things people say can be so amazing! It’s great you can laugh about it. :)

What do you think about that it is IN to have red hair? Almost every second person has red hair nowadays.

It’s great that people like Christina Hendricks, Emma Stone, and Florence Welch spread love for gingers by choosing red. Credit also to Scarlett Johansson, Rihanna, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Kristen Stewart, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Evan Rachel Wood, Kate Walsh…. and so many more.
Personally, I love when people appreciate red hair enough to choose it for themselves. <3 If people feel they are redheads at heart, I think they should go with it! :).
It seems like the only thing natural redheads sometimes complain about is that red-at-heart people didn’t have to grow up with all the ginger stuff. I mean, they probably weren’t called carrot-top or Pippi Longstocking, after all. Maybe it seems like they didn’t pay their dues to earn their gingerness, haha. Maybe people who are red-by-choice could help us out with our “issues” in this area just by being understanding :). Anyway, those are my evolving thoughts of the moment. Thanks for commenting.

kissmyhurricane said: I’m a natural redhead but I think it’s extremely flattering when other people dye theirs red. Redheads are an endangered species anyway :)
jmcniel said: I’m a natural redhead, and I’ve always been super-proud of it. I have mixed feelings with people who dye - I’m flattered, but I don’t like when they then start calling themselves redhead, or claiming “ginger problems.” It’s… weird.
whatnotandwhatnot said: I have mixed feelings about the dyers who choose to go red. Part of me is super proud of them for recognizing how fun being a ginger is. Part of me is like, “Gah!!! You’re a fraud!! Liarrrr!!” But you know… to each his own. Red is still awesome!
michellehelen asked you:Sounds petty but it generally irritates me purely because I was always mocked for it and now that it’s popular, everyone else is claiming the trend and I am asked if I dye my hair in line with trends! Crazy, but if nice people go red I’m happy to welcome them. Compassionate redheads are so beautiful!

Do you have a girl crush?
Christina Hendricks. It’s a no-brainer. Everything about her does it for me. That’s my kind of woman.
Like her, you’re a natural blonde who’s found fame as a redhead. Were you surprised by the brouhaha on the blogosphere when you went back to blonde to play Gwen Stacy in next year’s The Amazing Spider-Man?
It was so funny. To me, hair is hair — you dye it, cut it, whatever — so all that attention was wild.
It gets confusing for a guy who might want to dress as you for Halloween.
Damn it. OK, always stick with red — that’s my advice to a drag Emma Stone. I may be a blonde at roots, but I’m a redhead at heart.
![Christina Hendricks on dying her hair red
“I’m dark blonde but I’ve always felt like a redhead. I started coloring my hair red when I was about 10. “
“I was obsessed with the Canadian novel Anne of Green Gables. I decided I was Anne of Green Gables. There was something that spoke to me about her, and I wanted to have her beautiful red hair. So my mother said, “Let’s just go to the drugstore and get one of those cover-the-gray rinses!” My hair was very blond at the time, but it went carrot red. And I was over the moon. I went to school the next day and felt like myself. And then I went back [to that color] over and over again. What a cool mom, right?”
