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???
