My Life As A Redhead: A Journal by Jacky Colliss Harvey

Description

Life as a redhead is different. Throughout the ages, redheads have been celebrated and vilified, portrayed as saints, goddesses, clowns, brutes, and prostitutes. No matter the stereotype, one thing is certain: Having red hair gets you noticed! For the owner of those flame-colored tresses, this attribute is both a blessing and a curse. One longs for a means of self-expression and solidarity with the similarly adorned. MY LIFE AS A REDHEAD is a guided journal in which to record thoughts, feelings, special events, and important decisions particular to the redheaded experience. Every page offers a new, creative, and thought-provoking exercise or activity to complete. With full-color artwork and original illustrations throughout, it's the perfect gift and essential companion for every redhead.

Where was My Life As a Redhead when I was a teenager? After reading through the gorgeously illustrated pages of this book, chock-full of fun facts and beautiful redhead-isms, I felt absolutely in love with my own hair color. This book is like a dose of self-esteem. Buy one for your home, one for the office, and one for your bag so you can take it out whenever you need a confidence boost.--Erin La Rosa, Author of The Big Redhead Book
