The Irish Redhead Convention takes place in County Corkwww.bbc.com/news/magazine-2879403625 August 2014 Last updated at 00:06 BST People with red hair have gathered in southern Ireland for the Irish Redhead Convention. Held over three days the celebrations include crowning the ginger King and Queen, competitions for the best red eyebrows and most freckles per square inch. Red hair is the rarest of hair colors, and accounts for only 2% of the world's population. Scotland has the highest percentage of natural redheads in the world, with 13%. Ireland comes in second at 10%. The festival was the brainchild of redhead brother and sister Joleen and Denis Cronin. BBC News went to find out more. Video Journalist: Dan Curtis. |

Guys,
Ofcourse this got my attention. But it is strange that the color of hair or the color of skin is stil an issue today.
I love readheads, because they are the milk in our coffee, the vegetables in our mails. The world would be boring with only blond and brunette people in the white population of the world.
Thank god we have beautiful black, brown, red/yellow, Indian, Asian, Middle-eastern and latin women next to our own sort of European and American women with a Caucacian European background.
Redheads got my attention. I don't know why I had a preference for redheads. Today it is a mix of redhead, blond and brunette.
Cheers,
Pieter

To each is the reward of favour. My self, is preference to brown hair and dark brown hair ladies {only in observation, my wife has brown hair}. Whilst for many years to be around Dansk and Skandia blonds and my self blond until in early 20s, just too much and too many.
I have always admired the Indian ladies {East Indian} for many are very attractive and their cooking unless used to the high spices they use, is a delight to the senses and once to have spiced tea with milk, well, let us say is very nice.
It becomes a question, I would so suppose, perhaps we as fellows, are prone to follow a different star then we have around us and become bored with the usual.
Karl

I firmly believe that our preferences are driven by genetic memories.
In psychology, genetic memory is a memory present at birth that exists in the absence of sensory experience, and is incorporated into the genome over long spans of time.[1] It is based on the idea that common experiences of a species become incorporated into its genetic code, not by a Lamarckian process that encodes specific memories but by a much vaguer tendency to encode a readiness to respond in certain ways to certain stimuli.
Genetic memory is invoked to explain the racial memory postulated by Carl Jung. In Jungian psychology, racial memories are posited memories, feelings, and ideas inherited from our ancestors as part of a "collective unconscious".[2]

This is not a photograph. It's a drawing done in ballpoint pen by artist Samuel Silva. I think this is amazing!
