To think us gingas really are taking over the world!!

[MammaTJisanOlympicSumoWrestler]

We are everywhere!! There were hardly any when I was growing up, really I was a rarity!! Nowadays, well two out of my three children are ginger. Even Royalty has a ginger now!! Loads of ginger kids on Butlins today when I visited.

One just got gold long jump. Perhaps we are fighting back.

Isnt he though?

I only posted the pic so everyone could say how utterly scrummy he is! He is a bit of a "just william" which I think comes out in that picture too :o

He's got that cheeky little scamp look there Bogey

bogey he is just adorable, he looks like a real cheeky chappy!!

cone on, I want to see more members of the Ginger Army!!!

Come, not cone !

My hair is dark red but dead straight. I would have given my right arm for long auburn curls euphemia, I bet she is stunning!

I really want to go red but I'm too scared. Any tips?

Dont go permenant until you are sure, its a bitch to get rid of!

Also, dye to the same shade you are now, so if you are blonde go very light ginge, if you are brunette, dark red etc as it will tone better with your skin and look more natural :)

Okay I'm very blonde, I was just thinking of people being negative? Can everyone pull if off?

Try a semi permanant and see. Just pick a shade that is very close to your current shade so it will tone better. Going bright auburn from blonde probably wouldnt suit you.

Worral I wasn;t really that dissapointed, but my dad was so proud of his hair, and he died nearly 20 years ago, so I wanted it to carry on. It was so "him" (amongst many other facets). My DC are his last DGC, I guess the red hair is lost in our family for now.

Even Royalty has a ginger now!!

The Tudors and Stuarts were ginger so hardly a new phenomenon.

So's James Hewitt

yes! I have been telling people that forever!

I love red hair, I've been different shades of red at different stages of my life.

bogey he's absolutely gorgeous, looks full of mischief too :)

He is much sexier than the skinny bike bloke

I have my own personal TinTin I'm trying to convince him to get a Snowy.

Bogey a girl I knew at Uni doing a genetics PhD once told me that red hair, short sight, eczema, asthma and hayfever are all on the same gene, and if you have one, you're likely to have at least 2 or 3 of the others.

Bugger, I have three - but not the red hair - that's my cousins.

My family has 'stealth ginger', the ginger parents never get ginger kids, it just pops up occasionally.

:o loving "stealth ginger"! You might not see them, but they are there!

My Dp is a ginger (well before he went grey). We have 4 dc's 1 dark, 1 light-brown, 1 ginger and 1 blonde..bunch of mongrels us!

I have a ginga ninja DS... he's the only one in the family who does NOT wear glasses and no sign of any other health issues either.

He's soooo photogenic, especially in summer when all his freckles are out. I could just eat him up! Rest of us are plain, mousy, long-sighted, allergy-ridden...
