Flame Haired Favourites


I wrote this post nearly three years ago in August 2014 and decided to update it a bit by adding a few new photos to it. I hope you enjoy “Flame Haired Favourites” for a second time around.

I admire red hair, it’s so vibrant. Lucille Ball is a redhead who springs to mind. I always thought that Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts looked better as redheads. Royal redheads include Henry VIII, Queen Elizabeth I, Prince Harry and the Duchess of York. Former Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard is also a “ginger”.

I have a lot of redheads amongst my fashion dolls too. Here are some of them.

I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband, David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. Currently we have five pets between us. Naomi's two dogs Toby and Teddy and cats, Tigerwoods and Panther and my cat Polly. My dog Cindy passed away aged 16 in April 2022.

  1. I couldn’t agree more – I love red hair, I’m a bottle redhead myself! 😀 Silkstones expecially look fantastic with bright red hair. That’s quite a collection of redheads – congratulations 🙂

  2. What a beautiful group of redheads. The various tones of red hair are amazing. The vibrant colour of the Hip to be Square Barbie is awesome.

  3. I like Titan Barbie but to name a couple of mine there is Lynn my Uneeda Dollikins, The ugly carrot top Tammy I found in a shop at New Norfolk and Pauly who I decided to change from a blonde. Vanda featured him some time ago. I forget what he is now.

    • I have to admit I don’t really care for the carrot coloured hair on some Tammy and Peppers but it is unusual. Lynne has very pretty hair and Pauly looks much better as a red head it suited his colouring.

  5. Great compilation! I love gingers too, the contrast of their hair, skin and eye colors is so striking and they are more rare than blonds. Some other titian haired actors are Christina Hendricks, Charles Dance and Eric Stoltz.
