If I was to have a human hood ornament, it would absolutely be a redhead! But it would be a natural one, and I’d make sure to mount it in the correct orientation.
I remember reading somewhere about some Special Ops guys in Kosovo, used the acronym something like RNFIN for girls who had that odd red colored hair, and it stood for “Red Not Found In Nature”!
At least I think that was the acronym, it has been a while.
(They used it when doing observations/stakeouts and such, IIRC)
