A..Bad?...Picture of...Grace Kelly??

It sounds impossible, doesn't it? Her candids do not look bad:


Pictures of her on a bad hair day do not look bad:


Even when her arms look quite hairy she does not look bad:


Of all the pictures I have ever seen of Grace Kelly, none of them look bad...except one:

And the sad thing is, if I saw a picture of myself that looked like that, I would be happy. (Although I would rather wonder who snapped a photo of me...undoing my shirt?? Judging by the rest of the photos in this shoot, this red thing is a jacket or a heavy sweater, but it sure doesn't look like it here.) I am not doing this post out of disrespect for HSH, but because she was so beautiful any photo of her looking like an average person is bad compared to all the pictures of her looking like a goddess. Many such photos are ahead. Prepare yourself, because I need a pic spam fix baaaad.

Bad photos of Grace Kelly depress me...

Heck, I wish I looked like a bad photo of Grace Kelly!

Nope! I don't think any of them look bad, not even the one you singled out!

I have to disagree with you fine people. That pic of her with a plaid shirt getting her hair done in a poodle-do looks pretty bad to me. All the others though a wonderful!

Really lovely pictures. I adore your header - simple and elegant. Perfect for this blog :)

How could anyone have looked that good? Really makes me wish I was good looking, because I've kinda stopped caring about not being pretty. But she does make a girl mad! Though still, j'adore her. :)

Thank you everyone for all the comments!

I agree with most of you, and that plaid shirt picture isn't particularly stunning, now that I look closely at it. But that's just splitting hairs. I look at any picture of Grace Kelly and have to think, "Justice had nothing to do with this." It just isn't fair for someone to be that gorgeous while the rest of us are, well, not.

Incredible !! where on earth did you find all these lovely pictures - I dont think I have ever seen any of them before, although I am a huge Grace fan !

Thanks for the rare photo's, i'm such a big fan of Grace :D It's just not fair how much the camera loved her, haha! If I only looked half as pretty as she.. (as well in real life and IN PARTICULAR in photo's, gee).. well, that would be swell, because even her bad hair day looks pretty good to me ;D
