Sleuth has been away celebrating his wedding anniversary, but even though his wife is a brunette he’s happy to return just in time for today’s celebration of ravishing redheads!

National Love Your Red Hair Day is celebrated annually on November 5th,” documents the National Day Calendar. It was submitted for consideration by Adrienne Stephanie Vendetti, co-founders of the website How to be a Redhead in August of 2015 … and received recognition officially for it to be held every Nov. 5th!

And though the shy sisters hid their faces when their annual holiday was declared … they are actually quite foxy and proud to be “natural bornreds”—joined at the clip (below left).

Best friends who got degrees in finance from the Univ. of Miami, they are—Fast Company headlines: “Two Redheaded Sisters Who Turned Hair Color into a Growing Business.”

Sleuth has a slightly lower opinion of the V•enture.

“Clearly, as history has shown,” wrote Complex magazine, “women should never be ashamed of those gorgeous crimson locks. Take our 50 Hottest Redheads of All Time, for example. Gingers have been killing it and the world has obsessed over red-haired babes for decades.”

The most famous of which, Lucille Ball, was actually a natural brunette—who dyed it in the 1940s and never went back. “Once in his life,” she sultrily stated, “every man is entitled to fall madly in love with a gorgeous redhead.”

Indeed, notes Days of the Year, “It is the symbol of a fiery personality that is ruled by its passions, a strong-willed woman who knows what she wants and how to get it.” Here’s one sure fire way …

Perhaps part of the allure is that “less than four percent of the world’s population sports red locks” {skewed, of course, because the two most populous countries—China and India—have no natural crimson citizens}.

But they are starting to spill out all over the globe (below left) … and becoming ‘An Endangered Species’ (below right) that many horny hunters are looking to bag!

One highly desired ‘Web Celeb’ who reserves her online and video affections for the same sex only, is Australian Sapphic superstar Chloe B—the face {and form} of Down Under lesbian site AbbyWinters.com:

Giving girls a try—between the thighs (below)—while a 19-year-old student in Melbourne, Chloe gushes: “I’m SO glad I did!”

“I’ve never felt so comfortable getting naked before” {the curvy coed in her first amateur shoot below}.

And she didn’t approach adult action ginger•ly—the au naturel redhead also goes by the name ‘Strawberry’ at the popular solo masturbation site I Feel Myself (IFM).

The model is beloved for her bubbly personality (below left) and, according to Boobpedia, “Chloe is noted for having noticeably large breasts (30GG cup) for her body frame (5 ft. 8).

Site founder Abby Winters says her models “have regular clothes, no fake boobs and plenty of pubic hair. Shaving is so ’90s.” Chloe fit the bill to a ‘T’ … and her tatas are “all natural, with the right nipple pierced, left inverted and fiery full bush.”

“Is having red hair the luck of the Irish?” asks In Style magazine {actually it stems from the rapacious Vikings invading Ireland … and its fair maidens … whose ancestors could stand a bit of de•pillage•iating}.

As one steamy romance novel, The Legend of Fire Horse Woman, described the times: “‘Well, look who’s come to see you, Lily?’ he said in a delighted Irish brogue. She clasped him against her mountainous breasts and shouted non-stop. He visited the prostitute Lily often. He found her opulent white body, thick red pubic hair and strong body odor strangely erotic.”

Red on the head, fire in the hole,” is how blogger Sarah describes “the smear of strawberry on my otherwise ungarnished muffin. Burning bush. Rupert Grint’s thin-lipped sister. Les pubes rouges. My downstairs Conan.”

“Yet despite my initial reservations,” she learned at college, “I found that men were not appalled! Most of them had never seen autumnal pubic hair in person and were somewhat amazed by the science that would create such an astounding crotchular display. So the redhead chicks out there reading this,” Sarah sums up, “please know one thing: You have the Rolls Royce of pubic hair at your disposal, and it would be a damn shame not to show her off.”

“But what about those stars who aren’t Irish?” In Style probes deeper. “Red hair is the most rare, unique color and it gives certain Hollywood actresses an extra edge—it’s a trademark! But some shades of red, like auburn and deep strawberry blonde, are just so gorgeous one can’t help but wonder: Is that a dye job?”

Thus Sleuth has selected these sexy celebs to dye for … in an effort to determine if, as Days of the Year observed: “They say the fire inside matches the fire of the hair.” Or more specifically, if the proverbial “(Red) Carpet Matches the Drapes?”

So he’s counting down the ‘Top Fifteen Full Frontal Fire Crotches’ whose northern tresses mirror those beneath their dresses.

Starting with where we left off on Halloween …

15. CASSANDRA PETERSON aka ELVIRA

Orange you glad to see her ‘Pumpkin Patch’ again?

14. ANGIE EVERHART

Angie’s “long hair earned her 3 Crown Awards for Best Redhead from 2005-7. She also represented the United States in two Super-Hair World Cup tournaments,” winning the carmine-color championship in both 2006 and 2010. “In one picture she’s the girl next door (above left), all freckles and smiles,” Sports Illustrated marveled at the model’s versatility. “In another she’s a heavy-metal seductress, all leather and ruby lips.”

13. BARBARA RHOADES

“Assertive, voluptuous redhead late ’60s starlet contracted by Universal,” in the words of IMBd, she had her hand in more pilots than an Air Force proctologist, yet never had a hit. Unless you count her see thru scarletscanties in the 1977 film The Choirboys. Rhoades’ runway was a Colossus …

12. BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD

Daughter of director Ron Howard, she’s starred in blockbusters such as Spider-Man 3, Twilight and Jurassic World … as well as 2005’s arthouse Manderlay in which her interracial affair took her “to a place that’s really dark” {well, dark red} as Opie’s offspring offered up her Mayberry.

11. ESMÉ BIANCO

“A fiery redhead who has clawed her way to a position of relative power within a King’s Landing brothel” is how The Daily Beast characterizes Ros, Esmé’s provocative prostitute in Game of Thrones. “When there’s a naked woman on the screen,” sighs the former British burlesque performer, “people start making judgments about it. People here {in America} see a pair of breasts and they forget that there’s a story going on.” And when they see a red snapper—lush or landing strip—it’s a hole ’nuther story.

10. TORI SPELLING

“I wear halter tops with no bra and short-shorts without undies,” announced Aaron Spelling’s proudest production in 1999 … a fact made crimson clear on Feb. 3 of that year while she sat in on drums at L.A.’s hot nightspot Opium Den while the band played ‘Men Without Sex’—accidentally airing her smokin’ scarlet short ’n’ curlies!

9. KAREN ELSON

Famously dubbed ‘Fashion’s Red Queen’ by British Vogue in 2008, she’s become a successful singer after marrying {and later divorcing} ghoulish guitar god Jack White of The White Stripes. Her first solo album was titled The Ghost Who Walks—her childhood nickname due to having “pale skin and blood red hair” … including there.

8. ADRIENNE CORRI

The Scottish siren, who died this March at age 85, “took her distinctive auburn hair,” in the words of Wikipedia, “from her mother’s Lancastrian Mancunian family”—achieving immortality as the wife sexually assaulted by Malcolm McDowell and his thugs in 1971’s classic A Clockwork Orange. After 3 actresses left the role—finding “being perched naked for weeks on end while director Stanley Kubrick decided which shot he liked best humiliating," Corri was cast … and her first words to the film’s star were: “Well, Malcolm, you’re about to find out that I’m a real redhead.”

7. FAYE REAGAN

Credited as ‘Jillian’ in a popular 2008 American Apparel fashion ad, Jillian Faye Henning was born in Nashville in Sept. 1988, raised in Vegas and grew up to become the poster girl for ‘Ginger Porn’ (above left). As her official bio states: “Faye Reagan is most often recognized for her gorgeous long red hair and freckles and as a result has a large fan base of redhead lovers.” She’s “okay with my freckles” and recognizes that “her torridtresses set her apart” in the adult world.

“I didn’t know that you could just do girl-girl, and I didn’t know that you could take it slow,” sighs the naïve high school dropout, who lost her cherry shortly before entering the industry. “So I was doing all these gangbangs and blow-bangs, all this crazy stuff {like clothespin bondage, above left} and I didn’t know I had other options.” After achieving freckled fame, Faye realized that, “Porn has become a lot less taboo in recent years but … obviously, I’ll never do a Disney movie.” Unless perhaps it's Red Riding Hood …

6. MARCIA CROSS

Donald Trump might have hinted he’d rather “turn gay” than “date” her—this Housewife ain’t that Desperate—yet when candid images of Marcia surfaced in 2006 the agent offering them gushed: “There are some pictures of her showering outside. She looks absolutely gorgeous. And yes, the carpetdoes match the curtains.”

5. NICOLE KIDMAN

Hats off to Tom Cruise's ex and current wife of Keith Urban, who was just “a bushy redhead” when she came over in the late ’80s from Australia. She quickly showed the States what she sported Down Under when “I refused a body double” for her naked swim scene in 1991’s Billy Bathgate (above right).

That revelation was mirrored 12 minutes earlier when Nicole stripped for a “3-way” while getting dressed. “It was a worry to me,” she later admitted, “because I think you get judged as soon as you do any nudity, let alone full frontal nudity.” Though it led to the lead in “Moulin Rouge” …

4. LILY COLE

England’s flame-haired Model of the Year graduated with honors from Cambridge in 2011 and has become an actress and entrepreneur. “Nudity has always existed in art,” Lily laughed off being called a ‘Scarlet Woman’ for her pubic poses. “And I think it doesn’t ‘debase’ any more than it celebrates the human body.” Though in her cerise case, ce•labia•rates might better describe her russet tusset turn.

3. LAURA LINNEY

“Oh honey, I wish it was my first nude scene,” Laura lamented when asked about stripping for 2003’s LoveActually. “Believe me, I’ve been so naked in so many movies at this point, please.” As Mr. Skin raved when reviewing Maze two years earlier: “Talk about rolling out the red carpet!” as she showed her geranium to an artist (Titian?, above right). “It’s always difficult [being nude], at least for me,” Linney confessed after the 3-minute scene. “It’s just not a natural thing to do.” Looks totally natural to us …

2. ISABELLE HUPPERT

Twice named Best Actress at Cannes and a 15-time nominee for a César Award {the French Oscar}, she was early on described as having “blue-green eyes with yellow lights, schoolgirl freckles and shock of golden-red hair” {d’redlocks?}. Isabelle’s key to acting is “you work on what’s underneath—the unseen part”—and indeed her frequent frontals have been florid … and torrid.

And our Number One Famous Fire Crotch is …

1. JULIANNE MOORE

“When anyone thinks of a redhead celebrity, one name comes up: Julianne Moore,” notes How to Be a Redhead. “She is an inspiration for natural gingers everywhere and completely embraces her hair color.” No more so than in 1993’s Short Cuts as the actress exposed her short hairs when she spills wine on her white skirt then blow-dries it nonchalantly for FOUR minutes while arguing with her husband. Cracked the film’s distinguished director Robert Altman: “It will appeal to guys who want to look at pussy.”

“You can now see I’m a natural redhead,” Moore mentioned casually to Altman while stripping for the scene. “Julianne’s lovely scarlet pubic tuff became the most memorable and talked-about item in the star-studded film,” wrote one reviewer. Asked more recently if she ever tires of the “relentless press queries about your flaming full frontal nudity in Short Cuts?,” the actress acknowledges: “Well, it was true wasn’t it?”

Indeed, her true hue is the perfect chestnut to END on.

Truly she’s one in a vermillion.
