How to Pass the Time While You're Waiting for the Train: Ginger Spotting

How to Pass the Time While You're Waiting for the Train: Ginger Spotting
Y’all know what mullet hunting is, and y’all know how much waiting for the train sucks. It’s not like sitting down on the train, because it’s slightly more awkward to read a book on the platform, since you your hands aren’t free to punch the homeless person who tries to steal your iPhone. Yes, these... Read more »

I'm Going Blonde & It's Terrifying

I'm Going Blonde & It's Terrifying
And not on purpose. As part of the redheaded aging process, we go blonde first, then white. It’s our version of going grey. And at 25, I’m starting to go blonde. I’ve always had a few blonde streaks (which at least one stylist thought was chemical highlights), but I’ve recently had more than one person... Read more »

Why Set Ups Always Go Wrong when you're a Redhead

Why Set Ups Always Go Wrong when you're a Redhead
Every time a friend has ever tried to set me up with someone, it’s gone wrong. Every set up attempt has followed a specific pattern, and I am 90 percent sure of the primary reason for failure: they always try to set me up with a redhead. There are 3 types of people available for... Read more »

Ginger Pro-Phile: Adam Lambert

Ginger Pro-Phile: Adam Lambert
HOLY SHIT! My friend N. just BLEW MY MIND. ADAM LAMBERT/GLAMBERT IS A GINGER!!! AND NOT EVEN THE DAYWALKER KIND. How did I not spot one of my own? I did feel something eerily familiar when I looked into his hauntingly blue eyes on the TV screen, and I did wonder how someone with his... Read more »

How it feels to be a non-redhead

How it feels to be a non-redhead
On Halloween, I wore a multi-colored wig. It was my first time not being a redhead. Usually, when I have my normal hair, I get a little more attention than most people, primarily from old ladies and creepers who are obsessed with gingers. I’ve been curious to know what it would feel like to have... Read more »

    The Ginger Phile has had the unfortunate disposition of being a ginger since birth. She has tried various medications to cure her gingervitis, including therapies such as tantrum-throwing. Her efforts have been to no avail. Instead, she is trying to write it out, via this blog. Unfortunately, she doesn't think it will bear a soul for her. The Ginger Phile is from the exotic land of Wisconsin, where she had daily inner turmoil over whether she was a ginger or a daywalker. So far, three of three votes say daywalker. She begs to differ, as someone recently told her they would want to be with her if they were biking at night because she is so pale.
