Red Heads

Someone once looked at me in shock when I told them my family is Irish (the obvious name didn't tip them off). "But you don't have red hair!" This made me sad because a) they were clearly an idiot, and b) I really wish I were a red head.

I dyed my hair to a beautiful copper in high school, but the dye was discontinued. Every dye I've tried since gives up on changing my brunette locks. I certainly don't have the money to keep up a professional dye job, but deep inside, I pretend I'm a red head.

I'll just have to live vicariously though these women.

Clockwise: luscious Christiana Hendricks, radiant Julianne Moore, Allison Hannigan a.k.a. Willow Rosenburg, adorable Amy Adams, Debra Messing with her bouncy curls.

Clockwise: reigning ruler of androgyny Tilda Swinton, classic comedian Carol Burnett, Nicole Kidman in her far more sultry red-haired phase.

Clockwise: freckled Brazilian model Cintia Dicker, sometimes red-head supermodel Coco Rocha, runway queen Karen Elson.

Clockwise: make-up blogger Doe Deere, English rose model Lily Cole, the ever-fabulous designer Vivienne Westwood.

We've left off a ton or famous red-heads. Who are your favorites?
