As a redhead/ginger, I was surprised our son (meaning me and my husband’s son, not yours, poster - LOL) wasn’t born with bright red hair like mine. But I’m also relieved. Redheads run one of two ways in my opinion: hot or not. There’s generally no in-between with regards to appearance. (Except me, of course, Mrs. Mediocre - a title I’m very happy with!) And kids can be so cruel - especially to redheads. So I was relieved that he’ll have one less thing to be teased about as he gets older. His hair (see my profile for a pic) is kind of strawberry blonde. Whew.
I’m going against the Redhead Creed by saying this, but I think lots of redheads are kind of scary looking. And I think for “real” gingers...freckles, pale skin, brilliant orangey hair....it’s a tough look to pull off - especially for boys.
The worst part of Our Peculiar Affliction is that you have hardly ANY choices for a Holloween costume. CarrotTop, Richie Cunningham, and Howdy Doody...what a gyp!
Your pics on your profile page of yourself certainly aren’t “mediocre.”
Just sayin’.
You have a handsome son.
Yeah - I second the other dude - if you qualify as ‘mediocre’ - well I just need to move to your planet pronto...
Well both my wife and daughter are redheaded and the secret is to frost your hair, at least for my wife. Frosted redheads are beautiful, it is the best option. Luckily my daughter doesn’t have to frost it, she is a perfect strawberry color already with natural blond highlights.
