GINGERS When I first came up with the idea to do a "Ginger Shoot," .............................. THIS è is what I had in mind... acres and acres of gorgeous red-headed models, all swarming around being... Gingers! Males, females, adults and children, as long as they were "Gingers". Did you know that only 2% of all the people in the US are redheads? Guess how many of them live in New Mexico? FOUR!! And I got them all. HAHAHA! (There "may" be more, but these 4 are all I found.) It was a wonderful shoot and I learned a lot about Gingers during the hours we were together. They are humans, characterized by pale skin, freckles and bright red hair, but you probably already knew that. Though generally considered to be inferior to their more melanin-rich brethren, and thus often discriminated against, I found that to be totally untrue. Additionally, Gingers are thought to have no souls. The condition, "gingervitis" is thought to be genetic and incurable - absolutely NOT true either. My four Gingers were as "soul-ful" as one could ever hope to be. A quote from one of the world's most famous "Gingers," Lucille Ball, " Once in his life, every man is entitled to fall madly in love with a gorgeous redhead.” I hope you love my four gorgeous redheads, whether you are a man, or a woman! ~Dave Stabley
