My Grannie's hair

So here's a link to a recent article about the popularity of red hair, including celebrities and other wanna be redheads who want the look my great grannie had! You can check out link below. So this is my great grandma Maggie's hair! Wow what a color! She was my Dad's maternal grandmother and obviously the main source of all the redhair in our family! She was born in 1884 and died in Long Beach in 1962. We lived behind her house from my parents' marriage until she died when I was five...my sister Margie is named after her, not a redhead, but has two redheaded daughters with about the same gorgeous shade of red! http://lifestyle.msn.com/beautyandfashion/hair/articlemc.aspx?cp-documentid=7081357&GT1=32002

Class of 2029

Yikes! 2029! That's like a million years from now! This is Chloe...she was at the Pomona College reunion with her mom and dad, both PC grads. Chirp! (that's the Sagehen battle cry!)

Reunion Redhead

I recently attended my 3o year college reunion at Pomona College. Yikes I hardly recognized the place! So many new buildings... new new everything new! But I was proud to learn that Pomona College is one of the very few expensive liberal arts colleges that guarantees that its students will have NO student loans. That's nice. So I was walking around and I stopped a random redhead hoping she was attending the reunion as well, but it turned out she was Andrea, the redhead from Uruguay! I busted out my espanol, and there we were, two redheads espeaking de spaneesh on College Ave.

Redheads work at ChickFila!

So the big news yesterday was that I got signed off on my master's thesis! Yippeee! After 2 1/2 years, including 9 months of torturous thesis writing (126 stinkin' pages) this redhead is now a Master of Education. The Rocket (that's my husband) says I've been his Master for 30 years, but now I have the paperwork to prove it! So my reward to self was to drive thru ChickFila and sit in my car listening to Mozart and savor a chicken sandwich, waffle fries, diet coke and the most delicious vanilla shake on the planet. And that's when I met Jessica! I pulled up to the window and I said, "Wow! I like your hair!" She replied, "I like yours too." So I jumped out of my car and snapped this pic at the drive thru window! "Thanks," said Jessica, "You made my day!" I know exactly what she means :)

Fraiche Reds

So Fraiche is this super popular yogurt hut in Palo Alto. I stopped there with my redaintdead street team. Caitlin (in the middle) was taking a break from piling mocchi balls on yogurt mini mountains when she met me! She goes to high school and seemed a little afraid of me at first. Maybe that's becauase she was talking to a cute boy, not a redhead, and I said "so, see you can't marry him, he's not a redhead." I think she thought I was a little weird and only agreed to have her picture taken with me because two of my street teamers were regulars at the shop. But then her friend JULIA walked up and when she heard about redaintdead she got soooo excited and loudly exclaimed," Wow! I have never been more proud to be a redhead!" well, I thought, that's more like it! Let's hear it for the Fraiche reds!

Meet the redaintdead street team!

Meet the redaintdead NoCal street team! Cortney is another wanna be honorary redhead for shizzle! She is the cutest! She's takes my cards with her everywhere she goes and spreads the redheaded word. She has even snapped a few street pics of redheads that you'll see soon. She also has beautiful, healthy teeth and gums! Keep flossin' Cortney! She's waiting to hear from law schools in the bay...we're keeping our fingers crossed!

Red Nieces

Carmel and Kelsey are my favorite redheaded nieces. I love them to pieces! We celebrated Carmel's birthday with Thai food in Palo Alto and a driveway dance party! Carmel is getting married in June...Michael is not a redhead but....I have noted some redheaded qualities in his mom Lisa so I'm not giving up hope for future El Salvadoran redheads! Kelsey is a redheaded singer songwriter..check out her incredibly beautiful songs at myspace.com/kelsey bulkin
