Apparently there is a police rule on the books which states that unusual or unnatural hair colors like blue and green are banned from the department, but i would hardly count red hair as as unnatural. There are tens of millions of us in the US alone! She feels that her rights were discriminated against and will not back down in her cause. So we should all give her a round of applause! Apparently the Police force in Pennsylvania has a thing against hair as there is another complaint still under review after an officer would not agree to cut out his cornrows.

As much as i love “The Flying Tomato” i think its a stretch to put him above one of the architects of the defeat of the Nazis in World War 2. Nor do i think Martin Van Buren would have been anywhere near the top of any kind of real list. Unless the Van Buren gang shows up at your door and threatens to ruff you up if you dont vote his way (however you can get around this if you know the special sign).

Leave comments below and let us know who YOU think should be the most famous redhead of all time!

There are a lot of myths and folklore associated with this vibrant hue.

Lindsay has heard some strange stories in the process such as how we were once considered witches and burned at the stake. So far she has cataloged more then 65 people for her book but she is looking for more. She wants to feature 200 gingers in her new book and is calling on all redheads from around the world of any age or nationality to visit her website at annelindsayphotography.com and take part! She is paticularly interested in ethnicities that rarely have red hair such as African Americans, Greeks and Indians.

On May 14th she plans to host a redhead gathering which will include a slide show, photo exhibit and discussion about redheads as well as a talk on how to pursue ideas for books. Help this gal out and let her know your story!

Prince Harry of England has expressed his displeasure at his portrait with his brother because he looked “more ginger there then I am in real life”. Sandy Nairne the director of the National Portrait Gallary and Nicky Phillips the artist that was selected to paint the portraits of the two princes disagreed. The portrait was unveiled earlier this month and received praise from casual observers. Readers of British newspaper The Sun also noticed that it was “a great painting and it does justice to both men”.

In 2007 Harry reveiled that he has always been teased about the color of his hair. His fellow soldiers have come to call him “The Ginger Bullet Magnet“, some of them joked that they would do their duty by wearing ginger wigs to try and confuse the enemy of the true identify of the prince.

Harry also noted that he was his brother had an exaggerated look as well with with the amount of hair on his head saying “William was already bald at age 12″. His comments came during his time in Barbados to launch the Sentebale Polo Cup.

She said the inspiration for her book was her son who is a redhead and became curious as to why considering she and her husband did not have redhead. She became fascinated with their physical traits like freckles, and red hair. The united states has the largest population of redheads in any other country.

“I was fascinated to learn that redheads make up only 2 to 4 percent of the U.S. population. I was also astonished to learn that it’s a recessive gene, which means both my husband and I gave our son his copper colored locks” Giladi said

The book is available in an 88-page hardcover book and can be purchased from her website: www.littleredheadsacrossamerica.com. It took Giladi over two and a half years to complete the book collecting pictures and stories from gingers all over America. There are also fun and education facts in the book about the 50 states.

Well here are a few featuring some hot redheads that i hope inspire you the same way they have inspired me!

The Gingervitus Virus

The gingervitus virus some people claim to be a parasite. Once it has entered the body it quickly spreads through out the blood stream and causes many different effects on the body including:

• Red Hair
• Freckles
• Pale Skin

Sometimes people with this condition will have an adverse reaction to ultraviolet light causing them to have to stay indoors during daylight hours only coming outside during the night.

Gingervitus can be contracted during any point during a persons lifetime however it is usually apparent soon after birth. Some people will not begin to show symptoms until later in life, usually around the time of puberty. This condition was explained in the South Park episode “Ginger Kids“.

The articles based their findings on the mistaken assumption that recessive genes such as the ones that cause red hair would eventually disappear due to the low number of red heads currently in the world. Recessive genes can become less prevalent but wont disappear completely short of every single human on the planet that carries the gene dies or fails to reproduce. Unless there was some sort of global event that killed off a large number of these people, red heads like you will be around for many more generations to come.

Some of the articles referenced the “Oxford Hair Foundation” as the source of the research. However any attempts to reach their website now automatically sends you to the homepage of Proctor and Gamble. A company who makes money selling many different types of beauty products, including red hair dye.

I for one plan on making sure that the ginger gene gets passed on whether or not this is true. We are a special breed and anything we can do to increase our population i am all for!
