Happy birthday to Jennifer Aniston!

American actress Jennifer Aniston turns 55 years old today.

Aniston fell in love with acting at the age of 11, and her career began in earnest during the early 1990s with a leading role on the very short-lived sit-com "Molloy" (1992) and a starring role in the horror film "Leprechaun" (1993). In 1994, she cast as Rachel in the sit-com "Friends" and she played that role until 2004. The show is still broadcast in re-runs around the world, and it is the part for which she remains best known.

Aniston has kept a busy acting schedule for three decades now, and she shows no sign of wanting to rest on her laurels yet. We now celebrate her time in front of cameras with a few pictures. Enjoy!

 

It's a Fencing Flapper Friday!

Welcome to February!

 If I was going to sell booze to old-school fantasy roleplaying game players, I'd use art like this ad that originally appeared in Jugend (1908).

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!

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....
