I'm just Irish so for me it's beauty and strength. Plus I like it's rarity, like emeralds. Also, my fascination with redheads goes back to before I even hit puberty. I was in ... probably 1st grade and my family went to Disney World. We were having lunch at the Diamond Horseshoe Review and there were three Can-Can dancers: a blond, a brunette, and a redhead (wigs of course). The blond was always showcased, paraded around the audience, kissed my grandpa's bald head leaving lipstick marks, and all the men got jealous. The brunette got all the sassy and comedic lines and got the second most attention. The redhead was just sort of there in the background. I remember feeling sorry for her and wondering why everyone was paying attention to the blond and the brunette when they were just okay but I really liked the redhead. I was only in first grade so I didn't even know what girls were so it wasn't sexual attraction or anything but it's my earliest memory of liking a redhead. It just gets worse from there. LOL! I guess I'm just genetically disposed to like redheads.
