11/08/07 - To the Cigar,
I am writing this in response to Blake Cushing's embarrassing letter to the editor seen in the Cigar Tuesday. First off, I am proud to be a mother f-ing redhead. I have never felt shamed into hiding in "dark corner" because of the ginger episode. In fact, I find it comical.
I do not know what emotional stigmas you possess but do not try to blame the color of your hair. You embarrass us fellow redheads. Perhaps counseling would assist you. Upon meeting other redheads, or brunettes or blonds even, I do not assess them upon the color of their hair, but rather their personality which maybe you should consider doing.
And Lindsay Lohan as a positive redheaded figure? Who has constantly been in and out of rehab for powdering her nose? I pray you are joking.
I do believe that your take on us is extremely off-base and actually extremely weird. I think I speak for many redheads in saying that if you feel so objectified by your hair color, then take the following steps: 1. Go to CVS. 2. Purchase hair dye 3. Use hair dye. 4. Seek counseling.
Therefore we will no longer have to consider you one of our blessed kind. Good luck my troubled brotha.
