Back to school ginger cool!

Just some tips and pointers on how to look fabulous when returning to university!

DO's:

1. The solo red
party cup. and i am talking not just at parties, and not just to contain cheap beer. These classy bitches deserve to be carting around champagne. and they deserve to be doing it all about town. Red solo cups are meant to be shown off like DIAMONDS. Its like lady gaga's tea cup. only for gingers....

















2. 1960's fashion. It's so hot right now, its on fire. Have you seen madmen? Joan is the ginger version of marilyn monroe. only MORE FABULOUS! If you aren't graced enough to alread have a closet full of costume jewelry, chunky heeled pumps, high wasted knee length skirts and elbow length gloves, check out modcloth to help prepare your wardrobe for fabulousness. Heck, they even have a dress named after joan. tres fab!













3. PDA! lets face it, being fab is no longer a task that can be accommodated by regular cell phone. And by now, there are just as many accessories for the phone as their are for us! 24k gold? sure! diamond en
crusted? no prob! and most come equipped with GPS for those tragic moments when you have been overserved and lost track of your location, or when you trying to navigate yourself towards cute boys! wait....is there an app for that?



















4. wit! the tides have finally turned for those oh so charming, witty, fashionable, yet ever so non-blonde gingettes! Apparently, it just not as attractive as in the past to be a half wit sorority girl. It is sexy to know the difference between football and futbol! and downing whiskey shots can be so much more of a turn on then any drink that is pink, blended, or otherwise just retarded. and satirical political insights, literary references, and being able to sit though a quentin tarantino flick have definetaly started to earn bonus points! Not to mention that freckles are way more adorable than orange skin. Hooray for the year of the gingette! lets enjoy it while it lasts!

John Hughes' ginger disillusionment?


Now, its no secret the our recently departed beloved John Hughes was one of biggest ginger supporters to ever exist.  His choice of ginger-centric female leads in his heart string tugging teen angst ridden 80's films paved the way for current ginger starletts (ahem, a little respect lilo!)

In fact his mus
e, Molly Ringwald was even more ginger that gingerfoxxx!  (gingerfoxxx has often been grouped with the daywalkers, but she's not a hater)  Here's where i have to address the somewhat disillusioned presentation of ginger life that John Hughes presents.  Look at all the 80's movies with Molly Ringwald.....Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, Etc......

In everyone, she has the worst haircut imaginable, even for the 80's, and really terrible unflattering clothes....(i mean seriously...in pretty in pink she makes my grandma look risque!).  So aside from that terrible ginger misrepresentation (helloooo, most of us are fabulous!!) He always has molly snagging the rich (or failing rich, broodingly misunderstood), unbelievably handsome male lead.  I mean seriously?  This needs to be corrected.

Dear Fellow Gingers:  It is not ok to wear terrible haircuts and frumpy clot
hes and you will most certainly not be courted by and overly romantic, wealthy, brilliant, beautiful boy.  In the real world, a ginger behaving in such a manner would most likely be teased relentlessly.
In honor of John Hughes, and as a means to correct some of these dangerously false ginger misrepresentations, i propose remaking these films, with gingerfoxxx as the lead!  and to better represent gingers everywhere, she will have fab hair and clothes.  There are a slew of cute boys that could play my male lead, and the only question left is, who will be my duckie???

The retro drink of the season!


Thats right ladies!  summer is coming to a close, and we need something to fill the void that those mojitos are going to leave.  This fall, drinking is going to have a vintage throw back to the 1960's  and the hottest drink is the gimlet!   Oh gimlet, with your lime-y, ginn-ey goodness!

Vodka tonics are sooooo last year....and cosmpolitans are more out of style than that grandma samantha from sex in the city.  The gimlet is, once again, what the most sophisticated ladies are drinking for the moment.  You better believe the gingerfoxxx won't be caught without one!  For the time being, my signature drink, the dirty martini, will be on the back burner....(not to fear.  there are two things the gingerfoxxx will always like strong and dirty.  her men, and her martini's!)

So ladies, grab a shaker, brace your money maker, and whip yourself up a gingerfoxxx gimlet

The Gingerfoxxx Gimlet:

1/4  lime juice
3/4  ginn (or vodka if your prefer)
and of course, a splash of GINGERale!

serve alongside stilettos and the shortest skirt you have!
