The Year of Mucha's Mother Nature

Halloween is over, but Mother Nature is still recovering from the coming and going of all the ghosts and ghouls!

It's International Dance Day!

It's late in the day, but we finally caught up with the Shades of Gray Dancers, and they are as light on their feet as ever--literally dancing on water!

They are so excited about it being International Dance Day, and that it is possible to squeeze in an observance for another year at Shades of Gray, they feel like their on top of the world!

One problem with the Shades of Gray Dancers is that they don't like being confined to theatres and stages. They want to perform in natural, open-air settings...

... and they really love performing during, and in the middle of, natural disasters!

They would also love to see a revival of the whole notion of photographing dancers against the backdrop of nukes going off. They are reportedly working toward acquiring a North Korean bomb for just that purpose!

Of course, the biggest problem with the Shades of Gray Dancers is that they don't actually exist. All images of them in this post were computer generated over at OpenArt.ai... and they are but wisps of imaginings, as substantive as mists.

Maybe next year, we'll get back to pictures of REAL dancers on this International Dance Day!

Something's afoot...

 She just went tiptoeing (although not exactly quietly) across the lobby outside our offices. Where is she going?

Bella Hadid has questions...

 ... about what she's been asked to model on this April 1.

National Hat Day Reject

 She tried... oh, how she tried to be part of the National Hat Day celebration.

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!)
