Red Head + Greenhead 01

First there was an incident: The Carrots Incident.

This led to Anne buying spurious dye from a road peddler who claimed it would turn her hair a beautiful raven black. No more Red Head.

But the product turned her hair green instead. She temporarily became a Greenhead. Then this was quickly followed by Marilla adopting Anne as a “kindred spirit” to live with her and her brother Matthew at *Green* Gables. She wouldn’t be sent back to the orphanage. The temporary color of the hair was absorbed into the color of the house and transmuted.

Anne Shirley subsequently learned to accept her red hair with this fixed center established, seeing it not so much carrot-like.

I connect all this to Whitehead X-ing because the Green Gable scenes I give a link to above are in Carrcass+6, along with a lot of other pieces of the original Anne of Green Gables tv movie starring Megan Follows. And the audio from the second clip (green hair incident) is also used in the next carrcass beyond this, or Carrcass+5 (remembering that successive positive carrcasses are numbered backwards from 8 to 0). In C+5, Anne Shirley is directly paralleled with the namesake wizard Howl of Howl’s Moving Castle, who was also very distraught over a hair dying incident. *His* hair turned a carrot-like *red*, but then this was quickly replaced by the raven black that Shirley desired so much at the time. Then *everything* turned green and Sophie leaves, saying she’s had enough of this place (Howl’s castle).
