Halloween is coming...

... and Vanessa Hudgens is undergoing the mysterious transformation she goes through every year, turning from spunky to spooky!

Tara Nichol Caldwell is Picture Perfect!

Tara Nichol Caldwell is a model-turned-actress whose high level of talent is on full display in the chilling horror mystery film "Lyvia's House" (2023). 

"Lyvia's House" had a successful festival run during 2023, and Stonecutter Media will release it on streaming services (such as Vudu/Fandango at Home and Amazon Prime) and local cable & satellite providers on October 1. You can read a review of it, as well as watch a preview, at the Terror Titans blog by clicking here.

But before you do--please enjoy these photos of Caldwell doing her photo model thing!

 
 

Times are changing

For the past few decades, trolls have increasingly been moving from their traditional lairs below bridges and into basements and coffee shops with free WiFi so they can go online. Meanwhile, there are empty spaces left under bridges and ballerinas and other dancers have been leaping at the chance to fill those voids.

But are they going to be successful in the role of bridge trolls?

 

International Bikini Day Warm-Up

This coming Friday is International Bikini Day. Today, Brigitte Bardot is here to get visitors in the right frame of mind, sporting different bikinis during her younger days in the 1950s and 1960s.
 

 

In that picture right above, Bardot is modeling one of the most famous bikinis in the world. It's the same design that a woman was ticketed for wearing on an Italian beach in 1957.

Come back on Friday and you'll find a celebration of bikinis and the beauties who are wearing them!

Between International Days

This year's International Dance Day is behind us, and International Nude Day is roughly a month away. With this post, we look both forward and backwards.

May is going swimmingly!

Mermaids continue to frolic in celebration of Mermay here at Shades of Gray!

 

Nylon Stockings on a Picture Perfect Wednesday!

There seems to be a day in honor/observation of everything you can think of. We've discovered that May 15th is National Nylon Stockings Day... so here are some pictures of ladies and their nylons. (And not much else in some cases.)

It's Mermay!

So here are some drawings of mermaids for you to enjoy!

 
 
 
 

People Who Have Never Been to Epstein Island

After Jeffrey Epstein was revealed to be a sex-trafficking, child-molesting pervert and all-around scumbag, suddenly no one had ever been to his parties, nor taken trips on his private jets, nor spent time luxuriating in his tropical island paradise. As 2024 dawned, a judge unsealed more documents relating to the various court cases and lawsuits that have been filed against Epstein's estate and his confederates. As such, hundreds of more celebrities, politicians, and the rich and powerful who generally manage to stay out of the public eye are once declaring how they don't know Epstein, have never been near him, and aren't even sure what a tropical island looks like.

We're going to be devoting some Picture Perfect Wednesdays to amplifying the messages of folks who have never-ever-never been around Jeffrey Epstein, because we're civic-minded and devoted to spreading the truth.

First up, there's actress Cameron Diaz.

Through a publicist, she has stated that she didn't know Epstein, never met Epstein, and has never been to any events that he was at or hosted. 

"Cameron never met Jeffrey Epstein, nor was she ever in the same place as him or had any association with him whatsoever, regardless of the fact he may or may not have mentioned her name or implied that he knew her," the statement drafted by the publicist read.

And that's that. ALTHOUGH, despite what the headlines state, Diaz has not denied knowing Epstein or hanging out with him during sexy-sexy time....

Getting everything ready...

 Tempus Fugit.

NUELOW to bring More Sex and Violence

Among the items produced by NUELOW Games (the little publishing outfit headed by yours truly) is a series of clip art/stock art collections that's cleverly named the NUELOW Stock Art Collection. It consists of themed collections of public domain art reworked from comics and pulp magazines in a way that make them easily used in just about any sort of book or online project that buyers can think of.

A few years back, we released a set featuring "mature" action- and horror-oriented illustrations that was titled "NUELOW Stock Art Collection #18: Sex and Violence". It did quite well... and now we're releasing a follow-up that's titled "NUELOW Stock Art Collection #28: MORE Sex and Violence". (Clever titles is one of our specialities, as you can see.)

"MORE Sex and Violence" will be available this Friday at the usual places. Among the featured artists are Hannes Bok, H.L. Parkhurst, and Max Plaisted... and today we bring you a few of the included Plaisted illustrations, in order to preview the set.

 

To see more drawings by Plaisted and a host of other artists--and perhaps even find some low-cost art that's what you need to illustrate a project you are putting together--check out "NUELOW Stock Art Collection #28: MORE Sex and Violence" later this week at DriveThruRPG and DriveThruFiction!
