Red Zone

Sylvia Plath saw it one way:

Out of the ash
I rise with my red hair
And I eat men like air.

Springsteen sees it like this.

My daughter calls it "mermaid hair" after Ariel's locks.

I just call it way cool.

Yeah, this woman has fabulous hair. It takes a certain amount of self assurance to have such a shock of crimson atop your head.

Mister Earl said...: I once wrote a song that began:

"She was a red-headed angel or so I thought

In time I learned that the color was bought"
