I thought some people might enjoy this article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/8245290.stm

"The idea of a ginger festival may sound like little more than a bit of fun, but when 3,000 redheads came together for a recent gathering it became a bonding experience."Seems there were some longhairs in the crowd, too!

That's pretty cool! I don't see red hair very much on a day to day basis, so seeing lots of it in one location is a pleasant surprise. That's an interesting idea for a festival.

Oooh, I just saw this on the BBC website and was about to come over to LHC and post it myself!

I just said to my husband I'd love to go to this event (maybe next year!), I think I'm almost gingery-red enough to count... I'm certainly fairly ginger!

I love red hair - especially with such pale skin, like some people have in the photos on the BBC. It's such a shame people get made fun of for it.

Cool!
I've always been fascinated by red hair. It would be cool to see so many redheads in one place.

You should go, marzipanthecat! It would be too ironic if they discriminated on the basis of 'not ginger enough' ;)

Where I grew up you hardly ever saw natural redheads. People would ooh and ahh over it (in an admiring way). :)

OMG!! I would dearly love to go there!! That is so awesome! I love to see a redhead in public, its like I know about some of their life or something. By the way, carrot tops are green...:D

If I still lived in Holland I'd go to that! Or would they discriminate against henna redheads? Not that mine is identifiable as fake LOL and I do have a tiny bit of copper in my hair naturally

Everyone is allowed to come, but on Sunday they take a big picture of all the redheads there. I'm afraid that's only for natural redheads.:o

Looks like a great event. :) I wonder if they have a colour chart for for deciding who's red or not, would it start at strawberry blonde and go up to auburn? :D
