What's the Matter, Baby, Is That a Blush?

Alright, so with Finals and all, and the very real threat of failing one of my classes, I've had to back off on unnecessary writing for a while. But now I'm back, with the promised, Reasons to Love Redheads.

REASON #2: Redheads are the best at being bad.

Seriously people, what makes a bad girl or an evil bitch more delicious than red hair? Even your redheaded heroines have a blast being slightly naughty.

Case in point: Bad Girls with A Heart of Gold

Satine from Mouline Rouge, who also deserves an entry into BEST wardrobe. Seriously, even with the tragic heroine angle, she's got naughty girl down to an artform.

Vivian from Pretty Woman. Sure, she's a good girl at heart, but she's a naughty girl on the exterior, and she works it like a pro. And would anybody care about her if that Carol Channing blonde wig were real? I don't think so. It's the sexy huge red hair that makes her awesome.


Tracy Lord from Philadelphia Story is both kinds of bad. She's cold, heartless, and unforgiving, for a good part of the story. As she warms up, she ends up in a very compromising situation, at least for the time. A bitch and a bad girl waiting to break free, yet who doesn't want to be Tracy Lord? I know I do.

The Truth Hurts. And we're not afraid to cause pain.

Addison Montgomery. Season two was spent painting my new favorite redhead as villainess supreme. She was called "Satan" "Ruler of All Evil" "Queen of Passive Aggressiva", and basically made life for McDreamy and Meredith-Miss Perfect- Grey miserable. All while wearing designer clothes and looking fabulous. And we loved her for it. I did, anyway, and if you read the forums, you'll find plenty of others who loved her for it as well.

Laura Bennett. Two words- "Bad Mommy".

The Witch from Into the Woods. Especially when portrayed by Miss Bernadette Peters. "I'm not good, I'm not nice, I'm just right." Yes you are honey, yes you are.

Just Plain Evil Can Be Oh So Good

Gilda. Redheaded Rita Hayworth plays the Bad Girl to end all Bad Girls. Seriously.

Mrs. Laura Chevely in An Ideal Husband. This character is positively delicious when played by Julianne Moore, no?

Dr. Kimberly Shaw from Melrose Place. Not that Bree Van de Kamp hasn't a mean streak, but Dr. Shaw is all sorts of crazy evil. Sure, it's not a sexy sort of bad girl, but just goes to show that you don't want to mess with redheads. We can be ruthless.
