This blog is a photo documentation of the fellow redheads I meet in my world travels and everyday life...

"Yeah! I know...his hair is really bright!"
That's what Dillon's mom said when I approached them in line for the Buzz Lightyear ride at Dizzyland! Not such a good pic--in the the sunlight his hair is really bright red..made me want to snip off a lock and take it to my haircutter Lola and " Yes, Lola, I do want to color my hair!" Dillon had just woken up from a nap, so he didn't have much to say...but his mom was really friendly!
A small article in National Geographic (Feb.2008) reported the shocking news that some estimate that true redheads might become extinct by 2100 since carriers of the carrot-top gene are increasingly less likely to pair up (a child usually needs a copy of the gene from each parent to get the red result). Only 2% of the world's population is estimated to be redheads, while $123 million dollars are spent in the U.S. on red hair dye every year! This blog is one redhead's attempt to find as many natural redheads as possible and to share their photos with the world to prove that Red Ain't Dead!
