Red haired people have light skin, freckles and unusual things said to them. I am one of those people. And these are the kind of questions people feel the need to ask me on a regular basis.
1. Why are you at the beach if you cover your whole body?
Because my skin is so light, it burns faster than an egg on an unattended pan. So even though I love the beach, I have to cover myself from head to toes. It’s not modesty, it’s a way to avoid looking like an overcooked lobster.
2. Where are your eyebrows?

3. Can I play “connect the dots” on your skin?
Red hair and freckles go together like mac and cheese. Except that nobody wants to play with my cheese, but almost everybody wants to play with my freckles.
4. Do you know magic?
