You know me and hair. The first thing I picture about any new character is their hair. So when my protagonist, Tansy, in my just-sold fairy novel Named and Shamed, describes herself this way:
"Most men get no further than some reference to Amazons, because at six foot tall and with a rack like this I can't help but invite the comparison. Add to that my red hair—not an insipid ginger but ferociously bright metallic waves—and pale skin that explodes into freckles all over my shoulders and arms at the first touch of summer ..."
... I had to go looking for a visual model.
And this is pretty good for the hair and freckles. I like this face a lot!
Hello Tansy!
Goodness, research ... It's such hard work ... maybe I should apply for a grant ;-)

Oh, Janine, thank you. (You had me the moment you used "freckles" and "shoulders" in the same sentence... but luckily I didn't stop reading/viewing there.)
All the doms whose tumblrs are on my dashboard have a thing for redheads. as does someone else I know. Is it universal, I wonder, or is it a Dom thing?
Universal :D
Although, I gather that we are currently selecting against redheads. Maybe it's that redheaded *men* are not perceived as attractive (ginger).
Yeah, there's a real difference between how attractive we rate ginger men and ginger women :-( You know I like red hair on men too!
ah i love red heads...especially mature ones..hello julianne moore......^^
Beautiful.
Oh, and I stole every one of them for my reference files.
Thanks. :-)
This blog is a real pleasure sometimes! Thanks Craig and everyone!
