A Ginger Victory: Karen Elson on Vogue’s September Cover
We do love the September magazine covers. One of our best friends is a redhead, and we have spent money hours together trying to come to terms with the ginger phenomenon in Britain, which has absolutely no American analogue. Well, "red-headed stepchild," maybe, but at least as far as Lacey tells us, no one beats up the red-headed kids just because they have red hair, or yell things like, "Oi, ginger wanker!" a phrase we’ve actually overhead.
We view this cover as an achievement for redheads across the land but there’s not much on this cover that necessitates our buying the magazine. And what’s up with that "Glorious!" font \ handwriting? Who wrote that? They’re doing better at Starbucks. Meh.

Don’t be so sure about that…in 7th grade a certain Erik Anderson told me I looked like I had a period on my head. And, be warned, Erik – wherever you are, I haven’t forgotten!!!
My other good redhead story. When I was in China, I was really freakish. I thought families were asking me to take their photos for them, but no. They wanted me IN their family vacation shot. It feels strange to think I am in someone’s vakay scrapbbok. “Freakish Red Head on Great Wall”

I’d like to see this as a good thing for us gingers, but she kind of looks like a vampire.
