**Red Haired Hippie** I would like to focus on the fake red hair, as I too, am a fraud in this hair color. What brand do you use? Example: ColorMatch 5R or Feria 62 would be a different user name that only chickies like us would know what it meant. These are both _my_ colors, thank you very much. Or we could just call you **Red Headed Goddess of Liberal Causes** a bit wordy, but, you’re worth it. ---

[QUOTE=faithfool] Now after all that, the only thing I can add is that I’ve been really hung up on the idea of a play on Pippi Longstocking. I’ve done hippie wrongstocking before, however that’s still just not quite it. [/QUOTE] Why not just go with Pippi Longstocking? I loved those books as a kid, and would love to see a poster with that username. ---

[QUOTE=faithfool] At one time I thought of something like Lunchbox Zen, but I just couldn’t make a go of it. Perhaps that’s a vein I should continue to mine, huh? [/Quote] Inspired by the sun symbol on the [New Mexico state flag](http://www.50states.com/flag/nmflag.htm): **ZiaZen**. Or, since the capital of that state is Santa Fe (Spanish for “Holy Faith”), you could be **FeFool**! > [@](#): > > Now after all that, the only thing I can add is that I’ve been really hung up on the idea of a play on Pippi Longstocking. Adding one letter to the first name of that character’s creator could give you the poetically suggestive [Astride Lindgren](http://falcon.jmu.edu/~ramseyil/lindgren.htm). Of course, you’d then have to list your location as Villa Villekulla. ---
