The Bardot Quarterly


 All of this year, on the fourth Wednesday of the first month of each quarter, there will be a gallery of photos featuring the legendary French model, dancer, actress, and animal rights activist Brigette Bardot. We're kicking things off with a images from one of several photoshoots she did over the years, posing in leotards and fishnet stockings.

And finally, Claire Dodd wasn't sure whether it was National Hat Day or International Nude Day, so she came prepared for both!

Where have the dancers gotten to?

On International Dance Day 2022, the ballerinas ran off into the wild. We're trying to keep track of them, and we'll try to bring you updates on the last Wednesday of each month until International Dance Day 2023.

 


So... where do we find them this month? And what are they up to?

Hannah, Melanie, and Isabella have made it to New York City where they've become post dancers.

Meanwhile, Brigitte and Sae-Eun are dancing their way across the rooftops of Paris.

That's it for now. Stop by next month when we hope to have more updates!

They all seem happy, except for Brigitte Bardot. Maybe she'll come back to Shades of Gray soon. As for the rest, we're sure they will adapt just fine to life in a wild!
