Red definitely Ain't Dead
As you can clearly see, reports of one dead redhead have been grossly exagerated. There I am, in the flesh, posing with my lovely not redheaded daughter Amy. It is true that this redhead has taken an extended and thoroughly unauthorized blogging break, which has now come to an end. So get ready because here I come with a load of red pics that have been waiting impatiently to be published for all the world to see...
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!

What good news! Looking forward to some more scorching hot entries.
I think I speak for the entire Pardehpoosh/Bertrand clan when I say we are relieved to see that red, in fact, ain't dead.
It is about time!
