“I was obsessed with the Canadian novel ‘Anne of Green Gables.’ I decided I was Anne of Green Gables. There was something that spoke to me about her, and I wanted to have her beautiful red hair. So my mother said, ‘Let’s just go to the drugstore and get one of those cover-the-gray rinses!’ My hair was very blond at the time, but it went carrot red. And I was over the moon. I went to school the next day and felt like myself. And then I went back [to that color] over and over again. What a cool mom, right?” – Mad Men star Christina Hendricks tells LA Times. [Pop Eater]
Now we just need a reporter intrepid enough to ask if her boobs are real.

If she never said anything, I never would have guessed. That color just suits her so well!
It’s funny though because Anne Shirley didnt like her red hair & when she tried to dye it blonde, it turned green!

Hellz to the yeah…I think I was supposed to be born a redhead too. I freaking LOVE my hair when it’s red. Totally do not have the personality of a blonde so I’ve been switching it up since I was 19.

I love red hair, I think it’s really beautiful. More beautiful than blonde hair even. I also love her hairstyle in this picture. It’s very lovely and classic looking.

@Shinbi_Belldandy@xanga - Actually, Anne Shirley tried to dye her hair black. Then it turned green.
But anyway. I have the biggest girlcrush on Christina Hendricks.

@TheLobsterQuadrille@xanga - You must like Lewis Carroll. I can tell by your xanga name. Awesome!!!
I didnt know it was black. I grew up watching the canadian mini series (which is epic) & in there she bought the dye from someone on the road & it turned her hair green. I did read the book later but it’s been a while but I’ve seen the series more so that’s burned into my head. lol. Thanks for letting me know

@Shinbi_Belldandy@xanga - You have no idea how thrilled I am that you got the reference in my username. You’re the only one so far.
I’ve never seen the miniseries, but you aren’t the first one to tell me it’s great. I guess now I’ll definitely have to check it out. ^_^

@TheLobsterQuadrille@xanga - The next generation of youth would be a lot brighter & happier if they read Lewis Carroll & other awesome writers instead of watching the crap that’s on now. lol
Disney used to air this often in the 90s back when the channel was worth watching. Amazon has the set pretty cheap. http://www.amazon.com/Anne-Green-Gables-Megan-Follows/dp/B000XSKDH4/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1282352088&sr=1-1 The continuing story was good too. That came out a few years ago I believe.

@Shinbi_Belldandy@xanga - Agreed. How I’d love for people our age to pick up a good book. And not on a Kindle.
Thanks so much for the link! I’ll definitely have to look into this.
