…that would be me. Crazy ’bout them redheads.
Apparently, today is Kiss A Ginger Day (don’t ask how or why, I just report what I read SOTI). Ordinarily I’m opposed to made-up holidays (e.g. MLK Day or Secretary’s Day), but I think I could bend the rules for this one.
Sadly, though, I’ll not be able to get into the spirit of the thing, for all sorts of reasons (including being married, and to a non-redhead withal, and not actually knowing any real redheads at the moment). And my innate sense of self-respect (not to mention fear of los federales ) prevents me from just planting a smooch on the cheek of a random redhead I may encounter in the street.
However, I can play a game, that being:
Of the redheads pictured below, which ONE (as pictured) would you like to kiss above all the others?
And to make it interesting, there’s no chaste peck-on-the-cheek bullshit; it would be a long, tongue-‘n-teeth affair which could get you arrested in twenty states. Here they are:
Amy Adams
Ann-Margret
Angela Scanlon
Deborah Kerr
Gina Lollobrigida
Greer Garson
Cassandra Peterson
(a.k.a. Elvira, Mistress of the Dark)
Gillian Anderson
Isla Fisher
Jessica Chastain
Sarah Rafferty
Alicia Witt
Kathy Douglas
Maureen O’Hara 
Lindsay Lohan
Jill St. John
Karen Gillan
Emma Stone
Maisie Smith
Patsy Palmer
Shirley-Ann Field
Kate Walsh
Poppy Montgomery
Rhonda Fleming
Perhaps the ultimate Ginger:
Tina Louise
And finally:
Just any old ginger will do, thanks
If I’ve omitted your favorite ginger, feel free to tell me all about it in Comments.
Just remember that Christina Hendricks isn’t a real redhead… if that’s important.
