It's International Dance Day!

It's that day again where we celebrate the grace and beauty of dancers.

 

 
 Dancers sacrifice a great deal for their craft. Some of them spend so much time on their feet, dancing, that they forget how to properly sit down.

 
 
 

And then there are those who dance so much they forget how to walk properly.

 

But we appreciate that they are willing to go through such grueling workouts and difficult lifestyle... and we are thankful for all that they give us. Especially on April 29 for the Shades of Gray picture show!

 

 Meanwhile, Bianca Scaglione was running majorly late, but still put in an appearance!

(And you can pass the time between now and next International Dance Day by watching the fun videos on Bianca's YouTube Channel. Things are in color over there, but don't be frightened!)

The Bardot Quarterly

International Dance Day is almost here! And Brigitte Bardot is getting ready early this year!

 She knows she's going to appear on Shades of Gray in half-a-dozen or so posts this year, so she knows there will be more people watching than usual in these parts. She's practicing extra hard and studying the routines, so she can make the best possible impression on visitors!

Um... maybe we spoke too soon. But at least she'll be driving home the unifying theme of the blog today!

   

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.

 
 

It's National Hat Day!

We once again observe National Hat Day with pictures of some friends of Shades of Gray in hats.

 

 

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

It's International Nude Day!

We're celebrating International Nude Day for the fourth year in a row with pictures! You should also celebrate in whatever way won't get you in trouble!

March 1 is National Smile Day!

 Here are some random smiles in celebration, and to make this Picture Perfect Wednesday complete!
