Getting everything ready...

 Tempus Fugit.

Alice's New Year's Resolution...

... is to remember to put on pants before she leaves the house.

Have you made a New Year's Resolution? If so, put in the comments and Alice will record it and keep you to it!

Welcome to 2022

Here at Shades of Gray, we wish you a Happy New Year--whether you're coming...

... or going!

We're seeing one year end, as another begins. We hope you'll join us for at least one more time around the sun here at Shades of Gray!

Welcome to 2021!

A new year has arrived. We here at Shades of Gray hope that all our readers and visitors are happy and healthy, and we hope to continue to bring you lots of old stuff that may be new to you.

And while we are expecting there to be a full year ahead of us, Janet Leigh is not so optimistic. She's excited a new year is here... but she's going to take it one day (two at most) at a time...

It's almost Midnight on December 31...

... and we're getting reading to usher in the New Year here at Shades of Gray!

We are looking forward to a bright tomorrow!

Happy New Year! Welcome to the '20s!

Like Janet Leigh, we're bursting into the New Year with joy and excitement!

And we hope you'll join us in sharing a toast with Vera Ellen!

It may be a New Year, but we'll be up the same old stuff here at Shades of Gray, as we launch into the second decade of this blog's existence!

The New Year is creeping up on us...

... and Lilyan Tashman is NOT looking forward to it being the '20s again!

Welcome to 2019!

Our thanks to Alice White for making sure we're keeping with the times here at Shades of Gray. 2019 promises to be a very busy year.

(Although we're hoping that the next time she makes an appearance, she'll be wearing one of her many silly hats.)

The end of 2018 is almost here...

... and Dorothy Lee and Thelma White are counting down the final minute of what's been a busy year here at Shades of Gray...

... while Lilian Harvey is ready with a toast...

... and Bessie Love just keeps on partying, because she knows that 2019 is going to be even busier!

WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT YEAR (in just another minute)!

It's almost 2019...

... and people are practicing their best kicks as they prepare to kick 2018 right the heck out of here!

Getting ready for the change...

Ann Miller, who has helped us mark more holidays than anyone else here at Shades of Gray, stopped by to get things ready for the Coming of 2019.

Welcome to 2018!

May your 2018 be filled with smiles!

WELCOME TO 2017!

I salute all of you who are ringing in the New Year!

(Your guess is as good as mine.)

2016 is almost over...

,,, and like this lovely lady, there are many who are wishing it was already done!

Welcome to 2016!

Rochelle Hudson streamed her way into 2016... how about you?

It's almost 2016!

Carole Lombard has a holiday message for our German-speaking (and/or reading) neighbors, especially those who still have a week's worth of Christmas celebrations ahead of them.

Piper Laurie Bids You Welcome to 2015

Those who are about to...

.... send 2014 out with a bang -- Ann Miller salutes you.

Welcome to the first Picture Perfect Wednesday of 2014....

... welcome to the Year of Ann Miller!

Each month for all of 2014, Ann will make an appearance honoring a special day, like, for example, New Year's Day. We hope you'll check back regularly to see what day she shows up on.

Why is this the Year of Ann Miller, you ask? Why not? (If there must be a reason, we could say it's in observation of the 10th anniversary of her moving onto that great dance floor in the sky.)

But while we wait for Ann's next appearance, hope you have a Happy New Year and that 2014 is nothing but smooth sailing for you. Olga San Juan is setting a course toward a great year!

It's almost Midnight...

... and Ann Miller is marching with the last few minutes to the end of 2013!
