Red with passion, or the heart wants what it wants.

i confessed to a friend a little while back that i hold a soft spot for redheads.

she was disgusted, and proceeded to harangue me for my Ginger Love by informing me, in so many words, that redheads are nothing more or less than the spawn of Satan.

"Red with evil."

but i disagree.

although i can't necessarily describe a concrete reason as to why i harbor special feelings for redheads (that is, apart from the fact that they're nearly always cheerful and bubbly and, to some extent, awkward), i know for a certain fact that they're not the earthly embodiment of the devil.

everybody needs love from somebody.

Gingers need love, too.

and i'm here to give it to them.

that being said, so as to continue the previous post, this second list is devoted to the Gingers of My Heart (again, in no particular order):

1. Amy Adams

from Enchanted to Sunshine Cleaning, i just love her. she seems so down to earth and friendly and adorable.

2. Kate Winslet

i. love. her. always have, always will. true love lasts a lifetime. she's my #1 special lady. i actually don't even know why i didn't list her as number 1 here. probably because, given our true connection, numbers - and everything else in this world - are unimportant.

creepy?

good.

3. Jenny Lewis

actress and musician and singer and beautiful and awesome.

4. Alyson Hannigan

granted, i'm probably more attracted to her smile than anything else, and she now plays a brunette on "How I Met Your Mother," but still. and that's all i've gotta say: "but still."

5. Isla Fisher

crazy. and crazy hilarious and awesome.

6. Christina Hendricks

um. hott. that is all.

and, of course, not included in this list but whom i still wholeheartedly admire: Lucille Ball and Katherine Hepburn.

see? Gingers aren't all bad.

i mean, i'm not saying that i'm exclusively attracted to redheads...

i'm just saying that they deserve a shot, too.

and i'm widening my options.

the heart wants what it wants.

now excuse me while i drool.
