red bow

Ginger models aren't so popular, probably because the skin tone and hair can be easily washed out by colours. The red haired models right now are bright and fiery, and more and more are featured in editorials with dark eyeliner and bright red lips. Having shied away from red and pink for so long it's surprising how well it works, proved by the picture the Satorialist posted that I've been pondering for a while since he put it on style.com.

Some photoshop colour enhancing is probable but wow, could red lipstick look better?! With 119 comments already, the NY fashion week model is rumoured to be Judith Bedard, Aleksandra Martiniuk or Cintia Dicker...

My money's on Judith Bedard but who knows. A lady came up to me today and said 'Oh my, never ever cut your hair ever, if you ever get bored just don't, seriously never cut it, gosh' and then she suggested a gazillion hairstyles for if I ever get bored!? I think red lipstick would shout the message that I purposely have alot of red hair and want to show it off, so people won't feel the need to shout 'ginger' to helpfully remind me (only 3 in counting since being in Manchester!)...

So watch this space! It will be one of those things that you have to rush out the house before you change your mind and I'd have to check it all day but I need something to shock myself into submission. I've been looking for the right colour but may have to mix a pillar box red with a burgundy. How's the best way to make lipstick stay on? This field of makeup is so new to me, but my £57 weekly budget could stretch to a Chanel lipstick? I'll just pretend I'm Cintia Dicker going to a modelling shoot in a strange country. Do you ever do that? Pretend you're someone else in your head?

I fell for that photo instantly when it was posted as part of the "Look of the Day" feature. It's def. not Cintia, I reckon it's Judith too.

This recent abundance of scarlet, strawberry and all shades of red in between is simply stellar.

Yesss! I have similar hair to you. And whilst it's caused muchos angst over the high school years, now (since sorting it out, product is amazing) I love it. Since starting uni, I've not had "ginner" shouted at me once. People become more tolerant as you get older and I've been told numerous times (I always was as a child but never believed them) that it's a "unique" striking stunning part of me.

That said, I went to Manchester last weekend and the number of girls with long curly/wavy ginger hair was UNBELIEVABLE. There was a mother with child, both with it, and also the cutest little tomboy girl who ran around Castlefield. So good!

omg what a coincidence. just yesterday i was searching in every web for photos of judith. i stumbled upon her for the second time, this time at facehunter. she was dazzling and i thought to myself how cool should a person be to appear in two street style sites. then i found out she was a model...though the photo does look a bit too professional..i don't think they just found her in the street while she, a famous model, was riding her bike! anyway, she looks gorgeous, as all gingers do.

I adore Judith Bedard... she's so Ellen von Unwerth.

It is Judith. I saw her named in another street style post wearing almost this exact outfit, so I can confirm it. :)

Speaking of redheads, checkout this guy! http://assets.goodmagazine.com/uploaded/images/masthead_image/3645/elahi.jpg (dunno how to make it appear as a link..)
He's some kind of CIA-terrorism suspect who apparently posts every photo or bill he has, to show his transparency. anyway, how cool is he?
