Gingerganza!

[dotinthesky]

[Poll #1652935]

Ginger beauty is highly underrated. I didn't know anyone ginger growing up in Brasil so it was a bit of a novelty meeting so many when I moved to England (especially through LJ). Yes, yes, "many of my closest friends are ginger," etc. I always flinch when I hear a prejudiced comment against anyone with red hair so I hope this post will go some way in changing people's perceptions of how hot ginger (guys in this case) can be.

This post is mostly dedicated to the_meanest_cat, who started a chat with me in moral_vacuum's journal about how ginger men - Mick Hucknall notwithstanding - are quite attractive.

Feel free to add more names and pictures in the comments section. Have I left anyone out other than Prince Harry? (Who I decided not to include thanks to off putting photos on Google Image).

Wow.

I can't find him attractive any more now I know how short he is.

Re: Jamie Bamber

[moral-vacuum.livejournal.com]

5'9" is average height!

[the-meanest-cat.livejournal.com]

Fwoarr... proper ginger hotties!

[the-meanest-cat.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, I concur.

[the-meanest-cat.livejournal.com]

you're right, they are very much alike aren't they?

[the-meanest-cat.livejournal.com]

And where has Simon Woods been hiding all my life?

Re: Jamie Bamber

[the-meanest-cat.livejournal.com]

He is way more attractive with ginger hair!

Julian Rhind-Tutt?

I don't understand the anti-ginger thing in the UK. There's no "ginger=minger" in Australia! I went out with one for four years, he had long wavy ginger hair. I did notice a marked change in how many more people recognised me while I was with him, "ah, you're the girl with the red-head", which was kinda weird, but useful at the local. I should add that I didn't have red hair at the time! (it was usually very obviuosly fake variations on black, brown, or purple).

Can I add Tim Minchin to the hot gingers list? (although I thought he was blonde at first, but I'd do that with half the gingers who've listed already. Clearly my gingerdar isn't that great).

I don't believe he's 5'9". He was way shorter than me, and I'm just over 5'11".

Reader, I married one!

Only so I could have red-headed children though ;-) (joke!! but my mum was extra delighted for that reason!)

I always thought ginger men were attractive. I didn't know many growing up though. It's a shame there are not more of them.

When I hear how gingers in the UK are considered or consider themselves ugly, I think, "Go to the US! You will be treated like a sexual diety!"

Seconded again! ;-)

Saw Simon Woods for the first time on that BBC period piece "Cranford". He played the new doctor in town.

Damian Lewis was at the NT the same time as me. Excellent actor but in flesh a little too serious. Gave off major unapproachable vibes.

The DJ? Someone we know?

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked it. :-)

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I only let him out in special occasions like this one.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

And a lovely lovely person in real life!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Good call.

I thought they had plenty there? Maybe there's a market for exporting them to countries with high demand. ;-)
