Christina Hendricks that is all.

Plus my girlfriend is a redhead

Leicester_Hunk · 15/06/10 - 23:12

I am a ginger.

Nicola Roberts was totally hot before the whole "IMSOPALE" thing, she;s overdone it now.

I think she looks loads better with longer hair too - from GA's 2009 calander http://www.celebrity-pictures.ca/Celebrities/Nicola-Roberts/Nicola-Roberts-1092034.jpg

Lindsay is another hot ginge in Mean Girls until she lost it, such a shame.

People like to pick on minorities. Gingers are the one of the last ones left that many feel its 'only a laugh' to have a go at.:(

Example of a very not ugly ginger

Gingers are far from ugly (and no, I'm not ginger myself). I can't understand the flack, either.

I've never liked Nicola Roberts, but I'm not going to call her ugly on account of she's ginger.

And that picture of Isla Fisher... let's just say I've saved it to my computer...

Gorgeous.

Isn't it something to do with suspicion over paternity as a lot of redheads are that way because of a rogue gene? Obviously that wouldn't cut any ice these days, with DNA testing and people being more informed generally, but I was told it was something to do with that. Could be bollocks though.

I wonder if Nicola didn't realise exactly how white she was going to get?! Of course now with her make-up range and her documentary she's kind of stuck with it:D I bet she's itching to get at the St Tropez, poor love.

My favourite Nicola look is the Walk This Way video with the cats-eye make-up and cartoony red hair. She blew the others out of the water.

Both my kids are gingers and are totally stunning.

[Deleted User] · 15/06/10 - 23:24

The Weasley twins are FIT.

Ditto - well, my youngest is anyway! Everyone always says how lovely his hair looks, but one person does insist on calling him duracell (am I missing something, don't really get the connection?

). BUT I do get a lot of comments on how neither me nor his dad have ginger hair, and one now ex friend actually accused me of having an affair!

ETA - I meant only my youngest is ginger, they're both stunning obviously!

Well maybe not everyone is better informed then:D

Duracell's advertising slogan used to be 'the one with the copper coloured top'. My daughter used to get that at school quite a lot.

Their tone of ginger is completely different though, my son's is almost conker coloured, and my daughter's has gone from being quite carrotty when she was small, to being 'strawberry blonde' now.
Mr LC is dark, but his dad was ginger, so that's where it comes from in my family.

my hubby to be is ginger and bloody gorgeous, that sean slater (rob something) is ginger and extremely sexy yum yum

parthy · 15/06/10 - 23:50

I don't think they're ugly!

Not a natural redhead, she's been dying her hair for yonks! She's a natural blonde.

[Deleted User] · 15/06/10 - 23:51

I've always loved red/ginger/auburn hair especially as I'm naturally 'mousy' but I've always put it down to my Scottish blood.

di60 · 15/06/10 - 23:52

One hunky, sexy ginger dude.....

I don't understand the hate either, I think it looks good. Emma Stonehttp://ucesy-sk.happyhair.sk/celebrity_img/stone1m3009.jpg ,Christina Hendricks, Nicole Kidman and Lindsay Lohan back in the day, all look great with it.

parthy · 16/06/10 - 00:02

Lindsay Lohan back in her ginger days was lovely! Now, however... :eek:

Helbore · 16/06/10 - 00:16

Gingers/redheads are my favourites

Don't know how people can reckon they're ugly. Give me a ginger girl, with nice, pale skin and a scattering of freckles over some peroxide blonde, fake tanned, fake boobed WAG any day! Add in a nice Scottish or Irish accent to the mix and i'll do whatever they say just to let me stare at them for a few hours a day

Gingers for the win!

[Deleted User] · 16/06/10 - 00:18

I think prince harry is very dashing, best looking prince in the world.

DavetheScot · 16/06/10 - 00:21

There's nothing ugly about people with ginger hair. Those who think that way are frankly just idiots.

StarryNight · 16/06/10 - 00:31

Everyone doesn't think that, only morons who are trying to be rude and (what they consider} funny make those comments. Personally I find it really tiresome and unintelligent. I actually got in an argument with a journalist about it once because I found his comments on the subject childish and a poor excuse for journalism. His excuse was 'i'm Irish, I can say that' (I guess cause he's a celt) Well i'm scottish and I dont think I have any right to single people out and mock them for their hair colour or for any other trivial reason for that matter.

I actually think red hair is lovely, I quite fancy Rupert Grint, and im not the only one. And what about Karen Gillam, she's an absolutely beautiful girl and people are calling her the sexiest ever Doctor who companion so it just shows you that not everyone thinks that.

Desert Rat · 16/06/10 - 01:01

Its not so much ginger that people find unattractive, but the associations with it e.g. nerds, spots, pale skin, skinny frame etc.

Hey there!
