A Flash of Red — Judith Blevins; Carroll Multz

Seeing Red…

To see a character from a fairy tale like Little Red Riding Hood up close and personal can be as much a nightmare as a dream.

My nickname is Genius and together with my friends, the Are You One Toos (R*U*1*2s), we were faced with an unimaginable dilemma: How to return a fairy tale celebrity back to fantasy land.

It was not Red, as we called her, but her storybook enemy, the Big Bad Wolf, that was the major concern. Red could have stayed if she had wanted; the Big Bad Wolf was a different story.

Follow us on our quest to preserve the sanctity of fairy tales and the dignity of those who are cast as stars therein.
