It’s toured London, New York and Sydney – and now the Red Hot 100, a photo exhibit of hot ginger guys by Thomas Knights, is now opening in Berlin. Now that we have Bryce Eilenberg as a new (token ginger?) Pit Crew member and Ginger Minj as an early Drag Race favorite, this seems fitting homage. Do you know how rare real redheads are? They occur (naturally) in just 1–2% of the population, more frequently (2–6%) in people of northern or western European ancestry, and much less frequently in other populations. According to Wikipedia, red hair appears most commonly in people with two copies of a recessive gene on chromosome 16 which causes a mutation in the MC1R protein and it varies from a deep burgundy through burnt orange to bright copper. The term “redhead” has been used for over 500 years. It is associated with fair skin color, lighter eye colors (gray, blue, green, and hazel), freckles, and sensitivity to ultraviolet light. And for some reason, cultural reactions vary from ridicule to SERIOUS admiration. The opening of this red hot hottie exhibit will be over Easter weekend, on Saturday, April 4 from 4-8PM, and it runs through May 3.
