Red Pride!

Meet "Red Bean!" She ran in to the Redaintdead street team at Google central. Hey guess what...she already knew about Redaintdead before we found her!  Niiiiiice!  Anyway she has a redheaded mom, a redheaded brother and even a redheaded roommate!  Golly Red Bean your fellow redheads are rooting for a redheaded husband!  I love your hair!  Her redheaded brother is named Trafton, which, she quickly pointed out is "not fart" spelled backwards.  Something tells me he doesn't live up to that moniker! OK Red Bean, spread the word that Redaintdead! Any chance of gathering all the redheads who work at Google for a pic???????

Big Little Red Nick

I met Nick at the beach digging in the sand on vacation in San Clemente. Bright red hair, white skin, blue eyes, green shirt. "Wow! That's one technicolor little boy!" 

Redheaded Stars of the Week!

Well yesterday I was taking a walk through my neighborhood and across the street I spied a flaming redheaded Mom walking a flaming redheaded child in a stroller and I said, "Dang! I don't have my camera!" So today I didn't make that mistake again, and boy oh boy, take a look at my reward!  I met the cutest redheaded boys ever!  Kyle was helping his grandpa set up a game on the lawn when I said "Hey I like your hair!" Then I told Kyle that we were kindred spirits to which Kyle gave me that quizzical kid look, so I explained, "that means we have shared the same experiences, you know, being redheads." Then of course clever Kyle knew exactly what I was talking about.  We talked about baseball... Kyle loves the Angels and plays third base ( just like my favorite third baseman, my redheaded son Randall).  I was asking Grandpa about Kyle's redheaded genealogy when little brother Kobe ran up... are they the cutest redheaded boys ever?! Grandpa explained that there are no redheads really on Kyle's mom's side of the family, and that Kyle and Kobe's dad is African American!  Wow!  Those recessive redheaded genes back there somewhere were just waiting to come out! The boys are having a sleepover this weekend at Grandma and Grandpa's house with all 9 of their cousins!  Have fun everybody! 

Red Alert!

Redheads fight fires!  This is Firefighter Ken who we met at Pinecrest Lake.  That weekend there were more than 800 wildfires burning in Northern California and Firefighter Ken was on patrol along the lakeshore to make sure that the rules of fire safety were being observed by all the vacationers. Actually, he was strolling the walk chewing on an unlit cigar when my husband called out "Red Alert!" which means I should get my camera ready!

Redheads Get Married

My adorable niece Carmel, one of the redaintdead covergirls, got married the other day and these are all the redheaded family members in attendance. I must say that she was quite a beauty that day, with the rays of the setting sun filtering through the redwoods and making her amazing redhair glow. Quite a site to behold, truly. "But uh oh," you are probably thinking, "her husband ain't a redhead." Well not to worry. I carefully observed all his family members and I definitely detect the possibility of red hair in their offspring. Carmel, maybe you ought to start wishing the redheaded wish now like May did...

Big Ben

So I was really beginning to worry about redheaded guys. I know the redaintdead tagline is "Uniting Redheads from all over the World" but it was beginning to feel like the redheads were all girls! So, inspired by the post "Blonde's Redheaded Wish Comes True" from which I learned that if you wish red hard enough it will definitely come true, I started wishing to meet guy redheads. And believe it or not, recently that's all I've been meeting! I spotted Ben eating and chatting with a friend and when I told him about my redheaded website he seemed a little leery at first. "Oh no," I thought, "don't tell me the redheaded guys are going to play hard to get!" But Ben relaxed when his friend said "Cool!" Whew! that was a close one! Turns out Ben is from Canada and played baseball at the University of British Columbia, where he was a catcher. Thanks Ben for being such a good sport!

Redheads Go to Carwashes

Meet Will! We met at the local carwash. He was waiting for his car when I sat down beside him and plopped down a redaintdead business card. "Ah, redheads!" he said. Will is a recent graduate of USC and has a redheaded Dad and brother. Will came by his lovely shade of red by way of a Lebanese-Mexican mom and his redheaded Dad. Wow!

Blonde's Redheaded Wish Comes True!

I know this defies every law of science currently known to mankind, but it's true! This is May, my adorable, talented, very sweet, and formerly very blond niece. "Well, Red Dawn," you are probably thinking, "she just got that color from Clairol, tut, tut." But no, the truth is always more interesting than fiction, and in this case what happened is that ever since she could remember, towheaded May dreamed of being a redhead! And it has taken 25 years, but all that longing, wishing and hoping is finally beginning to pay off! If you look carefully at her hair, you'll see that the ends are blond and as your gaze passes up along her terrific tresses, her hair gets redder and redder! I do believe that in a no time at all May's hair will be as red as mine! So yes, Virginia, there really is a Santa Claus, if you dream red long and hard enough, your redheaded dream will definitely come true!

Redheads Climb Pretend Rocks

Just so you know, my brown headed daughter May reminds me continously of my obligation to provide the Redhead Admiration Society with redheads to admire. Sadly, I often fall short in my duties, offering these four little words of excuse, " I 2 B Z." That's English for "no tengo tiempo." Anyway, enough about me...let's talk redheads! So the street team, which now includes my niece May (she has her own post...) recently went fake rock climbing at Planet Granite in Sunnyvale and they met this nice rockhead, no! redhead named Patty T.who works there. He of course was honored to have his photo snapped by the very attractive redaintdead street team. And then this 2 B Z redhead took her own sweet time in adding him to the site, so long in fact that when the street team returned to climb the fake rocks Patty T (yes I checked the spelling) was crestfallen. "Hey redaintdead street team ," moaned Patty T. "I had a bunch of my rockhead friends here the other day and I got them to huddle around the computer to look at redaintdead and there I wasn't!" OK Patty T... now you got it! And I'm calling your work right now to let you know to get those rockheads huddled once more!
