Happy birthday to Brigitte Bardot!

Brigette Bardot, ballerina turned actress turned 1950s sex symbol, turns 90 years old today. This photo gallery is the culmination of our year-long celebration of her photogenetic beauty!

 

Happy Birthday to Lysette Anthony

On this day, English actress Lysette Anthony begins her 70th decade on Planet Earth. We celebrate this milestone with some photos taken of her during the height of her fame in the 1980s.

Both before and after her rise to and slide away from international fame, Anthony was busy acting on stage and the small screen in Great Britain. In recent decades, she's been a familiar face to viewers of dramatic series "Coronation Street" and "Holyoaks".
 

The Liberation of Paris

 Eighty years ago today, the German troops occupying the French capital of Paris surrendered and it was the Allies' turn to march down the boulevard toward the Arc de Triomphe.

 

Welcome to August!

 August here, and we welcome it with another old ad that is similar to what I would commision if I have trying to sell booze to old-school D&D/fantasy gamers!

Time flies...

Exactly ten years ago, we posted some photos of Brittnay Jo Sprinkle. At the time, she was an up-and-coming model. She appears to have chosen a different career path, but we're going to observe the tenth anniversary of that post with a few more pictures of Sprinkle from back then.

 

 

 

 
 

 

Happy International Nude Day!

It's that time again when the denizens of Shades of Gray show off what God gave them! (Well, at least as much as we can get away with before the Morality Police come down on us!)

 

 

Finally, Mel showed up late for National Hat Day, but we improvised and worked her appearance in here!

 

Happy International Bikini Day!

 Today, we celebrate the women who put on itsy-bitsy bikinis! (As well as those with a little more fabric!)

On a serious note...

 Before we bring your our traditional post of patriotic girlie pics on Independence Day in the U.S., we bring you a PSA that originally appeared in a 1948 issue of Action Comics. Please take its message to heart; we want visitors to Shades of Gray to be able to visit us on July 5 and beyond! (Click on the image to see a larger, more readable version.)

Health Tip from the Shades of Gray Dancers

"Staying hydrated is important whether you're a dancer, a couch potato, or something in between. From our blood system carrying oxygen and nutrients to cells, to keeping the kidneys functioning properly, fluid in the body is vital. And hydration equals fluid. H2O, dontcha know? Hydration also lubricates our joints and eyes, helps our digestive system function and keeps our skin healthy. And if you're going on a weeklong boozing-bender, staying hydrated lets you keep going and might make the hangovers not as bad."

This post was brought to you in recognition of National Hydration Day. Stay sated, my friends.

The Longest Day...

... of 2024 is today! And the Shades of Gray Dancers are celebrating the official beginning of summer!
