'You'd find it easier to be bad than good if you had red hair.'

Ever since first enjoying photographer Richard Rothstein's chronicling of Sketchy Saturday's at TherapyNYC, it has become a destination I look forward to visiting the next time I am in New York. I would have especially loved to have been there last Saturday when they celebrated St. Patrick's day with a gorgeous and hunky doublet of gingers.
Last Saturday's creative inspirations were Dave and Chris, two russet and ski freckled models posing for artists, sketchers and those just wanting a pinch of ginger mixed in to their Saturday evening.
We often connect redheads with St. Paddy's day, and in America, many gingers do come from Irish decent. In Ireland however, only about 10& of the total population have red hair. (which also includes auburn and Strawberry blond) It is actually Scotland, with about one eighth of the population, (12.5%) who have beautifully dark and reddish hair.
The US doesn't really have a day to celebrate all things Scottish, so until then gingers and St. Paddy's day will have have to remain connected. Canada does celebrate Tartan Day every April, a day originated in Canada the mid 1980's. Although also recognized in the US in the late 90's is not as well known outside of Scottish societies and communities. Regardless, for me, every and any day is a good day to celebrate a hot ginger.
