There is a 75% chance that our son will be ‘a ginger’. His father is 100% red, his maternal grandmother 100% red – the genes are there, ready to burst forth with their fiery goodness upon the Mini Lister’s head.
I really really want him to be a redhead. I love gingers and have long thought they were vastly superior to all other hair hues. They’re a bit different, stand out from the crowd, look fantastic in green – what’s not to love?! I contemplated dying my hair red for years until I met Jim and still toy with the idea every time I discover a new grey hair – something that seems to be happening with alarming frequency at the moment.
Anyway – here’s my round-up of Red Hot Reds for your viewing pleasure…
Julianne Moore
Love this picture as you can see her freckles...
The one, the only, the best. I love everything about this woman, her hair is the tip of a very perfect iceberg…
Damian Lewis
My kingdom for a green pen...
Never really saw this until Homeland if I’m honest. Now I see it in full turncoat technicolour.
Emma Stone
Stone cold gorgeous...
Gorgeous, funny, husky voice. Spoke for millions of women when she uttered the immortal ‘photoshopped’ line to Ryan Gosling.
Eric Stoltz
Chiselled
Because of this film.
Michael Fassbender
With looks like that we can almost forgive him for X-Men: First Class...
It’s Fassbender. Do you really need an explanation?
Adele
Beautiful...
Currently sporting a traitorous blonde ‘do’. But still red hot nonetheless…
Eddie Redmayne
Lovely sweater Edward...
All about the lips. And the freckles.
Benedict Cucumberpatch
Please note Mrs Lister does not condone smoking. No matter how hot you are.
Bringing sexy back to Baker Street. Elementary my dear reader.
Christina Hendricks
Va, va, vooooooom...
We love you Joanie.
Prince Harry
His Royal Hotness. I can't believe I just typed that.
Yes I’m going there. No I don’t care what you think.
Do you agree? Have I missed anybody out? Do share if so…
I remember about 7 years ago somebody sending me a photograph of a hot ginger man. I’d emailed and asked her for it because said hottie and I had been exchanging flirty emails and I wanted to put a face to the name. I had no idea, during the e-flirting, that he was a red head so you can imagine my delight when I opened that jpeg attachment.
Reader, I married him…
;)
Have a lovely long weekend
Mrs L xx

Youa re forgetting our very own Ellie – @insomniacmummy
She’s hot.
Very good point Laura. She is hot indeed :) xx
I would have loved one of my kids to have inherited my ginger curls, but sadly it was not to be and they’ve both got Daddy’s brunette :(
For me it’s Nicole Kidman all the way for ginger hotness!
I’m hoping Mini Lister doesn’t get his mums Italian genes!! They beat out the ginger last time…
Nicole Kidman – good shout ;)
My niece is a glorious red head and the boys friends are too. My boys think nothing off red hair at all. It is beautiful to be so unusual
Aww…your very own mini-ginger. How cute.
My great-gran had the most beautiful auburn hair and Zoe has some flecks of auburn in her hair, sadly I didn’t inherit it.
Btw, am I the only person who doesn’t know who Michael Fassbender is?
That Laura woman up there made me blush!
Ginger rocks. As much as it’s brought me more than my fair share of jibes, even to this day, I wouldn’t want to be anything other than a red head.
:D
Agreed! :)
Yes I think you might be ;)
Red rules. I only speak in FACTS.
Ummmmm ….. hello?!!! I can go in just above Christina, I don’t mind.
;) x
*cough cough* I am a full on red head through and through. Can I get in on that list please!?
(also, as I’m getting older, certain ginger men are becoming attractive, that has never happened before!)
X
You’re on the list Kate! :)
Gorgeous post. Always loved redheads! My mother cut my first hair and there were red hues catching the light despite being so dark. Your boy will be beautiful!
Ah thank you!
My hair has loads of red in it from my mum – I love it :) x
I’m a bottle redhead, so I don’t count but I do love being one even if it’s fake!
I didn’t get the Damien Lewis thing till Homeland either – now, phew!
My brother’s girlfriend’s hair is an amazing ginger colour and when their daughter was born my brother threatened to keep her in the shed if she followed suit. Luckily for her, she’s blonde :)
Love redheads! Totally agree with your red hot list.
Crushing on Damian Lewis at the moment, thanks to Homeland. With season 1 over, I have to wait till season 2.
Haha – father of the year!!
I really wish I could dye mine but not too sure Jim would be happy with ‘his n hers’ hairdoos ;)
Oh god I know. September can’t come soon enough!!
ooooh I do like Prince Harry. Did I just say that? ;-)
It never crossed my mind I’d have a redheaded child, the genes are quite far away, but obviously present in both sides. When Sydney was a baby people used to stop me in the street daily to comment on her lovely hair.
Its nice to stand out from the crowd I think. xx
I’m quite ginger myself and when I was pregnant with Holly people used to say “Are you worried that she might be ginger?!” Talk about no tact! She came out a gorgeous soft ginger and we love her all the more for it!!
