The Beauty of Long Red Hair
Rita Hayworth, Tori Amos, Nicole Kidman, Wilma from the Flintstones, Kirsten Dunst, train wreck Lindsay Lohan and yes, even Marilyn Monroe have (or had) one thing in common; beautiful, natural red hair. OK, I take back Wilma from the Flinstones because she wasn't a real person and she wasn't hot as far as animated characters go in my opinion. I'd have to give that honor to Jessica Rabbit. And while Marilyn went blond to possibly have more fun I say why can't redheads have just as much or more?
RED
The color evokes love, passion, intense energy, heat in situations of lust and desire and warmth in times of need. Some may think of blood and if not in the gory macabre sense, then as a means of sustaining life and vigor. There is a current of aggression to the color red. Not the kind that assaults us in a negative way, rather it taps into our senses and desires for something exciting. We see it in cars that catch our eye on the road which say "fast" to our subconscious. We are struck by it's assertiveness and sensual insinuations when the right woman walks into a room in a well fitting dress of this color. On the right body a woman's beauty is accentuated in numerous ways. The curves, the geometry of a beautiful woman's body, become all the more pronounced. The color red is a most special one indeed.
However, the color of red hair takes all of these principals and advances them forward a step. The color is "in the body" so to speak. It is genetic therefore it's an actual part of them and not an accessory. While hair may be seen as a form of natural ornamentation to some, real red hair is such a striking enhancement to a woman that it's almost an essential appendage like an arm or leg. Some of you may disagree and that is all fine and well but when my head turns to look at a woman with red hair, it is for that reason first and foremost. In a sea of blond and raven haired beauties, red hair is almost a novel and most precious alternative to admire and fantasize about running your hands through.
Fire Down Below
My experience with redheads is not all inclusive but memorable. I had ventured down to the city to meet a mutual friend of a coworker that I had met a week before at a Prince concert at Madison Square Garden. She was a photographer or at least an aspiring one and had fair skin and long curly red hair. Over beers and conversation things grew intense. Enough so that when it came time for me to grab a train at Grand Central to trek back home to Connecticut, it became an obstacle to what was to come. Or what I thought was to come. Fuck the train, there were always more ready to take me home tomorrow. I'd spend the night at her place per her invitation. We kissed by the famous clock in that makes Grand Central so grand as people passed and made our way to the subway.
The young woman in question was not without baggage. She had a boyfriend several states away. Guilt set in but she still wanted me to stay. What was going on in her mind I will never know. But I was deprived of a honor and privilege that could have been mine. And that was tasting the sweet ginger and feeling warm heat below. To run my hands through that small patch of red goodness, to feel it brush against my face as I moved in for the kill....yes...that would be wonderful.
But I've already said too much.
Primal Attraction
Perhaps it's the sharp contrast: My dark hair and skin against their fair complexion and red locks that fuels the attraction. The old tiresome observation of opposites attracting may be true here. My last redhead sighting involved a beautiful barmaid. A nice Irish girl with long straight red hair that almost went to her waist. The Lady Godiva look was never here nor there for me but her green eyes and gorgeous smile left my in a state of euphoria and desire.
Oh to hold her in my arms and have her taunt me with that red hair. What an experience.
But it was not meant to be, she had a boyfriend too. Such is my luck.
I may never fully grasp my attraction to redheads beyond a instinctual level but maybe it's not for me to figure out, rather just go with it and enjoy. We only live once and some things needn't be complicated. We have enough of that and I'm all for keeping it to a minimum to insure maximum pleasure.
Coming up...... Are women more prone to fighting each other than men?
Also...
The drive.
And......
Giving the gift of "boob."

What a beautiful homage to red hair.
My favorite ex was a red head. He was quite a passionate lover.
Perhaps the fire down below had something to do with it?
;)
I could make some raunchy jokes about heads and colors but I am being nice today. You owe me one.
We don't do any color other than black here. Note to self: Need to travel more.
how do you feel about fake red hair? my hair is dark with two thick stripes of "Corvette Red" on either side of a centre parting.
I have a lot of red clothes and at night I wear red lipstick. sometimes on my nipples as well as my lips
I love red heads. I think you missed one... Although she comes off as a dits in many of her movies she is a freak in all of her movies... Alyson Hannigan... Actually, I'm not sure if she is a natural red head but she does it for me.
Great post!
My ex-wife of 30 years of marriage has (had: it's mostly gray now) red hair and freckles. I've avoided women with red hair since our divorce. I learned my lesson too well.
Saadia - Thank you. Fire down below could have had something to do with it.
SJ - I have seen the what your native land has to offer thanks to the king fisher calendar and if that's all I had to look at, I'd still be a VERY happy man.
Nurse - Oh baby that's hot! I LLOVE when women add a fake dose of color to their hair like you describe. When I visited Maritza, there was a lovely young Asian woman who had streaks of blue in her hair and I thought that looked hot too. As for the lips and nipples, Id say red must look absolutely great on you.
Urban - I think Hannigan is a hottie too. Worth drooling over. I think she's the real deal.
Sometimes Saintly Nick - You my friend were burnt by the fire and I'm sorry it resulted in a divorce. Going back to a second redhead would have been akin to putting your hand back on a hot stove. I completely understand.
I dig redheads too, even though I've never actually seen one in real life. Love that "fire down below" line.
PS. You forgot Dr. Crusher from Star Trek.
Funny, I just read somewhere on the net that redheads have more sex than other heads!
I LOVE RED HAIR. (on me)
On Guys? Not So Much.
I hope you find yourself a nice, *single* red-headed Goddess one day Ricardo. They are a rare species!
My Granny (on my mom's side, of course!) used to bleach/dye this red lock of hair and would curl it over one eye. Granny was quite the hottie.
I also like dark red hair and have always wanted auburn highlights. In my younger days I had naturally reddish tints in my hair which was more dark of a dark almost black shade of brown. Now it's black with some whacky grays coming in. I say whacky because they are slightly curly and I'm Chinese!
Anyway, I like red hair on women and I have a friend who is totally in lust with Alyson Hannigan from her "Buffy" sidekick days.
When it comes to men, eh, that depends on the man. My preference is for dark hair and eyes. Yet somehow I end up with blue-eyed blonds!
Not that I've ended up with much of anything these days but 2 people will get lucky some day!
There is just something instantly appealing about redheads...when you spot an attractive redhead, they are jaw-droppingly stunning...I'm not sure why that is. Something to do with a more exotic look or perhaps just the link between the colour red and passion...
Your own experiences touch on these reasons much more eloquently...
Tracey
Meleah - I have heard many women echo your opinion. You are not alone.
MsQ - Your hair is worth writing about with these lovely quirks you describe. Hannigan is the type of girl you want to devour sexually. I can't describe it any better than that. I understand your friend. Your Granny sounds like one stylish mama.
Tracey - Wonderful to see you and thank you. Yes the hair makes them a standout. It's just a great color. It evokes strong emotions.
Leah - Fingers crossed. My life always gets too complicated for it's own good when women come into the picture.
Redheads, beautiful but batshit insane, every last one of them.
LOL! Yes I've heard that Thomas and you may be right.
red be damned. i fell in love with a japanese woman who is so intensely perfect physically that it stopped my heart the first time i watched her undress.
she said "i don`t think you`ll find my body as interesting as i find yours."
fuck was she wrong.
Dr.A - I envy your position in that moment. Tis the spice of life.
but how i paid for that moment.
Dr.A - I know the story and I know this one hurt a lot more than the others. But you did the right thing by moving on.
