I totally have a girl crush on Christina Hendricks (Joan on 'Mad Men').
I know from interviews I've read that she was actually born a blond, but I would nominate her to be the official ambassador of redheads the world over. She is proof that we redheads can be more than just 'quirky' (which, let's face it, is just another word for 'weird'), soulless (thanks, South Park), and sickly pale, among other things. Years of being called "Tater Tot" and "Ketchup Head" have made me very sensitive on this issue (yes, it's an issue). I'd rather be called a "dumb blond" any day over "quirky." Maybe if people thought of Christina Hendricks when they thought of redheads instead of, oh, I don't know, Carrot Top or Ron Weasley, we'd be better off.
Also, it goes without saying that Christina Hendricks is no January Jones (aka, Betty Draper). I know people say she looks like a "real woman," but I've never seen a "real woman" at Wal-Mart look like that. She somehow pulls it off. Maybe it's confidence, maybe it's just knowing how to dress for your body type, but she's obviously doing something right if Esquire Magazine named her the sexiest woman alive.
Redheads represent.
