Ghengis Khan Had Red Hair and Green Eyes

Yes, you read that right. According to ancient historian Rashid Al-din, Ghengis Khan – the great ancient marauder who terrorized much of Asia and Europe, burned many a town, and had over 2000 concubines – was a redhead. Many scoff at the idea of him being caucasian, worse yet a redhead with green eyes. However, when you think of it, who else fits the picture better than a hot-tempered red head?

Redhead Surfer O’Brien Scores Perfect 10 and Loses

Jamie O’Brien poses for a portrait prior to surfing The Wedge, in Newport Beach, CA, USA, on 1 September 2012. // Jimmy Wilson/Red Bull Illume //

Riding the pipe is downright a dangerous sport and it takes quite a thrill seeker to wish to surf such waves. Take red haired surfer Jamie O’Brien from Hawaii and you have the perfect example. Daredevil and immune from the apparent hazards of this sport including sunburn, O’Brien is a top contender. Recently at the Red Bull surf event in his home island, Jamie scored a perfect 10 and lost to another surfer. My first thought was this could only happen to a redhead.

Shining Ones Sunscreen: Great Protection from the Sun for Redheads

Shining Ones Sunscreen at Freyja’s Magic!

No need to use chemicals to protect your skin from sunburn! Our pure, natural SPF 30+ sunscreen balm goes on smooth and is lightly scented with pure frankincense and myrrh essential oils. Non-nano zinc oxide provides UVA & UVB protection by creating a protective barrier of minerals on your skin. Coconut, shea and jojoba oils moisturize and provide additional SPF. Beeswax adds waterproofing. Our creamy formula absorbs well, leaving your skin soft and shining. Gentle, non-irritating, safe for babies.

To use: Apply 10-15min before sun exposure. Reapply as needed, and after swimming. Use common sense to avoid sunburn.

Tested on Ourselves! My husband (a redhead) and I both have very sensitive skin that burns, not tans. We were outside in direct sun by a lake for 2 hours during the hottest part of the day, and didn’t get burned wearing just one application of our sunscreen. Our 2 year old baby girl was also unscathed!

Note: Will stain dark clothing. Apply before getting dressed, and rub in well.

*Ingredients: 20% Organic Zinc Oxide (non-nano, uncoated, therapeutic grade), coconut oil, shea butter, jojoba oil, beeswax, pure essential oils.*

James Cagney: A Redhead

Known for gangster roles in those old black and white movies, James Cagney, with his high-energy, on edge tough persona, and raspy voice was unmistakable. Less obvious due to the films’ lack of color was the fact that he was a redhead.

Redhead Riots

As a defensive strategy, I’d rather see gingers use some of the negative stereotypes about them to their advantage. Let the world continue to think that redheads are demon-possessed witches with psychotic tempers who are impervious to pain.

Red headed Stepchild

With red hair being rare, a child born to non red headed parents was assumed to be the child of an affair. Thus was treated badly, usually in the form of beatings.

Missoula: Redhead Capitol of the US

missoula evening

After seeing so many redheads here in Missoula, I knew I had moved to the right place. I am not sure what draws people with red hair to this beautiful valley in the mountains but here we are anyways. There have been a large Irish immigration to the area including the nearby city of Butte which boasts to have had the greatest number of immigrants from Ireland to the USA during the copper mine days. In addition, I quite often meet gingers that have moved here from my home state of Minnesota, where based on my ancestry, can be Irish, German or Scandinavian-like Red-haired Vikings. My goal is to organize a redhead festival of Western Montana. Thanks for your help!

Redheads are Gathering Around the World

On June 3, 2018June 3, 2018 By redfire67In Festivals and Gatherings, HistoryLeave a comment

Gingers of the World, Unite!

This is the motto of a red-haired festival in a location that might surprise: Russia. The Udmurtia ethnic nation claims to have the most red hair outside Ireland.

At first thought, the idea of redheads uniting around the world was a little perplexing. What would be the purpose? Personally, would I want to be around a bunch of people like myself? I guess I relish being unique in the world. In fact it might be a little scary, the thought that our red hair might all catch on fire or a big fight might break out. Perhaps take over the world!

Ginger Nat Rothschild: Redheads Rule

rothschildDM0104_228x300 — Nat Rothschild-redhead?

“He’s not blessed in the looks department, he’s got carrot-red hair and freckles. But Nat is very charming and has a penchant for fast cars.

“At college, he was known as a babemagnet – at parties, the beautiful girls would flock to him like bees to honey. That’s what the name Rothschild does for you. Women seem to find it a very powerful aphrodisiac.”

Just how proud he would really be if the women loved him for his red hair and not his money. Only I know.

danny elfman oingo boing If you have ever watched the Simpsons, you’ve heard the music of Danny Elfman during the opening credits. Oh, let’s not forget the soundtracks to all those strange Tim Burton films. Personally I prefer his music of Oingo Boingo.
