There are bikini pictures that are rewards, and there are bikini pictures that are punishments. There is no in between. And if these Kathy Griffin shots or one or the other, we’re going to have go with the latter. While we’re in no position to mock the pale (we’re currently sporting a pleasant shade of “see thru”), we still could have done without these chilly shots.

Yes, we get that she looks good for fifty. And we admire Kathy’s handsome young man, who seems to be part errand boy (he held her shoes and waitied for her at the water’s edge) and part boyfriend (they held hands and smiled for the photogs). But we really could have done without the towel wrapped around Griffin’s head, looking like she just took a schvitz as one of the Crawlers from The Descent.
