How It All Began

Before Red Riding hood became famous for heading off to grandma’s house with a wicker basket filled to the brim with pastries,she was known by the name Little Dolores Riding Hood. It doesn’t have the same ring to it, does it? Would a storybook entitled Little Dolores Riding Hood have become as popular as the story we all know and love today? Probably not. If you ever wondered how the little-caped travelergot dubbed ‘Little Red’ then we will gladly fill you in on all the juicy details. (You’re welcome.)

Years before Redembarked on her adventure to visit grandma, her mother took her shopping so she could establish her fashion sense at a young age. As she was walking through the aisles festooned with bright colored clothing, she spotted a crimson-colored kerchief that would one day shape her destiny. As soon as she tried it on, she knew that she neverwanted to take off the red hood. I’ve done it. I’ve found my personal style, whispered Dolores. Her mother purchased every size of the red hood they had in stock so her daughter didn’t have to spend one day without her favorite article of clothing. That’s the day Dolores vanished and instead the world was blessed with Little Red Riding Hood, arguably the best storybook character of all time. (Sorry, not sorry Dorothy.)
