They stand alone in the grove where the tree of knowledge grows. Her red locks, like a thousand burning torches in the night, flutter around the contours of her body. She delicately extends a delectable piece of fruit to the glorious creature standing beside her, as an ugly serpent feeds to her soothing lies. Fear haunts the moment. Lingering on the threshold of an unforgivable sin, the man sighs, “But it’s the forbidden fruit.” She gently tilts her head and a feathery flutter of her crimson eyelashes chokes the air out of his final attempt at redemption. Her alabaster face is too much for him to bear. He takes a bite.

For her transgression Eve is cast away from the bosom of God, only to be reborn out of an oyster as the magnificent Venus. Her infinite blue eyes, cast in the gemlike colors of the Mediterranean, carry a divine message of beauty. Celestial in her tender nakedness, Botticelli’s magnificent deity modestly covers her voluptuous body with a flaming mane. She lingers suspended in time for her mesmerizing grace to be worshipped for all eternity.

Indeed, for centuries breathtaking redheads have been a favorite subject of art and literature. Picturesque goddesses with scorching tresses like, Lady Godiva, Cleopatra, Salome, Anne Boleyn, Lady Eleanor of Aquitaine, and Mary Queen of Scots have made a lasting mark in the human consciousnesses. Throughout history, some of these captivating women were deified, exalted, and loved while others inspired feelings of fear, jealousy, and hatred. But, regardless of particulars, the children of Shiva have always shared one thing in common: magnetism.

This season heralds the return of the redhead as the ultimate seductress. Innocent or coy; pure or insatiable; burning or serene, we are on red alert. Ready, get set, and burn. Be forewarned that this fall ladies with copper, ginger, crimson, amber, cinnamon and raven locks will be the reigning queens.

Indeed, every head of hair looks better with a touch of color. If you are timid, you might want to get started by dying a few strands to frame your face, but remember that fashion favors the bold. A dramatic look can have a profound effect on a person’s self-esteem. In fact, on one trip to the hair salon it is completely possible to shed one’s dull, old, outdated skin. With reflective, alive and stunning locks one can reinvent herself overnight (or more accurately over-afternoon). In fact, new technology has rendered hair dyes so gentle, translucent and precise that in this day and age sporting a mousy do is simply unacceptable. Consequently, if you are not blessed with volcanic hair this is a good time to book a coloring appointment.

Nowadays, top colorists go as far as to claim that the cutting edge formulas have completely eliminated the ‘fear element’ in hair dying. However, in order to avert a possible ‘red scare’ decide wisely.
