Man, you ain't lived

Till you've had your tires rotated

By a red-headed woman.

-Bruce Springsteen

As we all know, I was born with olive khaki blonde hair. I started to color it in high school, and it hasn’t been natural since. I’ve done blonde a few times, considered brunette, but I always come back to red. The following is a list (in no specific order) of those who influenced my decision to become red and those who inspire me to maintain it.

tori amos

katherine hepburn

anne boleyn

molly ringwald

sirens & mermaids

red sonja

tina louise

kate pierson

daphne from scooby doo

salome

axl rose

madeline khan

and of course, Little Red Riding Hood

Out of the ash

I rise with my red hair

And eat men like air.

-Sylvia Plath
