Ginger Solidarity

This weekend I rediscovered the awesome blog Forever Amber, written by one of the most photogenic bloggers of all time (and a proud, totally unapologetic British redhead.)

She can also levitate, apparently.

She's written a few posts about the stigma of being ginger in the UK that are worth reading:
I thought I'd give her brilliant blog a shout-out because I've had quite a ginger weekend.

Not only did I hear about this lovely story - a 12-year-old English girl bullied so much for having red hair that she was forced to dye it - Mummy Militant's American friends also rather incredulously watched our DVD of 'F**k Off, I'm Ginger' and seeing it again was a rather sharp little reminder of how stupid England is (and also how chubby I was when I filmed it!)

Anyway. If you're feeling any ginger solidarity today, send me your address and I'll send you one of these fantastic Militant Ginger bumper stickers, courtesy of those great guys at Build-A-Sign.

Until then, make sure you go and check out Forever Amber's brilliant blog.
