I never realized how much I loved redheads until I lived with Remi. Which is odd since Remi has jet black hair. But every time a redhead would come on TV, I would usually remark on her classic beauty, her ethereal elegance, or just how damn sexy I thought she looked! But I never realized, until Remi pointed it out, that it was 99% of the time a redhead that would catch my attention. I just always thought it was a beautiful woman. It wasn’t until Remi started pointing out the consistencies in hair color did I start to wonder, why do I love redheads so much?
It wasn’t hard to figure out. One of my first ballet teachers was a drop-dead gorgeous ginger. She looked a lot like Julianne Moore. I was just a young girl and she embodied everything I wanted to be at the time; an amazing dancer, thin, beautiful, graceful …… and she had red hair! I never wanted red hair myself, but it obviously left an impression on my little girl brain. Because my big girl, lesbian brain just goes ga-ga over a beautiful redhead.
Here are a few of my favorites. In no particular order ….
Julianne Moore
Kate Mara
Marcia Cross
Lauren Ambrose
Evan Rachel Wood
My favorite red heads include Lindsay Lohan (crazy or not) but more recently Emma Stone *SWOON!*
How does Karen Gillan escape this list?
I thought about Karen Gillian but she just always seems so cold to me ….. I can’t put my finger on it.
You forgot Deborah Ann Woll, the drop dead gorgeous redhead that plays Jessica on True Blood!

But so does Julianne Moore… really, I’d take the Scottish kid over her any day.
@ Sarah 1.2 you’re right, Julianne Moore is on the icy side …. BUT she bares a striking similarity to my ballet teacher, who was also …. come to think about, an ice queen.
Huh? Maybe that’s why I’ve always been attracted to over-bearing, cold women that I could never quite win their approval. Oh wait, that just described my mother. Paging Dr. Freud. Paging Dr. Freud ….. eeeeew. I just totally grossed myself out.
What? No Christina Hendricks? Doubling checking to make sure……nope….no Christina. To me she represents beauty because she is sexy as hell and doesn’t try to fit into the same mold that other Hollywood women do. She can do 90 around the curves and never brake a sweat.
OK – so you forgot to mention- hot as hell- Supermodel
Angie Everheart.
You tube or google her
You’re welcome.
Hotness personified.
@Becks, omg You’re SSOOOOOO freakin’ right!!! Shame on me big time for forgetting about Angie.
I should have known I was gay when I was 14 and had her pics plastered all over my room. She makes me happy.
while it sometimes pains me to admit, and my friends love to rub this in my face every chance they get….. my first ginger crush was on ‘ariel’ the little mermaid.
it occurred to me that i might be a lesbian when, at the age of 17, i used to close my eyes and image the scene of ariel on the rock with the wave splashing beind her, while i was getting off.
yep.
and for he past 10 years, one of my jackass firends invariably makes sure i get a little mermaid bday cake or card or mylar balloon.
ps. thanks for the fb comment about MY red hair! that tickled me to no end!!!
I love redheds too! my friends all make fun of me for it, but I don’t mind. I think they’re gorgeous. (:
In no particular order
Annete O’Toole (in her prime)
Lauren Ambrose
Deborah Ann Woll
Angie Everheart
Julianne Moore
Bryce Dallas Howard
Man… I LOOVE gingers. So hard to just pick 5!
No Karen Elson? What the hell? No ginger list is complete without Karen!
