How to Apply

+

We are looking for queer women of all ages and sizes to represent our amazing community for this annual monthly devotional. This could be you!

Important: The shoot will take place in LA on Saturday, December 8, so you must be able to get to California and be available on that date to be considered.

Please fill out the Calendar Girls Application and send a tasteful photo or two of yourself to robin [at] autostraddle [dot] com. Head shots are great, but in order to choose the most diverse group of women, a full length or 3/4 length image is the most helpful!

The deadline for submitting your application is October 22.

We look forward to seeing all of your beautiful faces in our inboxes. Models will be chosen and notified by November 1. If you aren’t chosen for one of the 12 spots, we still want you to know how beautiful you are to us and how brave you are for applying!

Cheers to the Calendar Girls of the past, present and future, and cheers to 2014 — it’s gonna be a beautiful year, we just know it.

apply to be an autostraddle calendar girl!

  1. Can I put in a request for some bi/pan/generally queer girls, since it’s open to all queer women? I’m pretty sure most if not all of the previous calendar girls have been ‘proper’ lesbians.

    (Despite being a reasonably androgynous bisexual lady, I tend to feel a little ostracized from the queer community for being attached to a man.)

    • Same. That would be really awesome. As a fairly feminine-presenting pansexual woman involved with a man, I feel like I’m not that well represented in things like this.

      Having a bigger mix of sexualities would be great!

      You guys are totally awesome, so this isn’t really a criticism (at least on my part), just a suggestion. Thanks for being great!

      • i cant fully explain why i hate this response, but it probably has to do with the cavalier attitude with which you dismissed her point. or maybe its because it seems like you’re somehow offended by her relationship with a man and feel the need to throw the worlds worst bisexual/human ROMI KLINGER in to make a point…
        IT WAS PROBABLY THE AGGRESSIVE CAPS THO…

  2. I hope that we actually get some real size diversity in the next calendar. This isn’t a complaint, I love the diversity that you do promote, I just know I would be more likely to apply if I saw that you accept plus size models (like real plus size, 18-20, not calling size 14 plus size like other modeling situations do).

    • I’m just going to put it out there that it’s really hard to show a full range of body diversity in 12 month calendar (I think it would be great too!) but ALSO that they can’t take people who don’t apply.

      So you should probably apply, if it’s something you’ve been considering. If they’re not getting applications from plus size women I’m not sure how…they…can be in the calendar. And I think they CLEARLY want body diversity (read statement about the full length shots).

      Basically what I’m saying is what I’ve been saying all along–if you think the Autostraddle calendars are missing some form of diversity, try to fix it by being part of it!

  3. YO QUEERS OF ALL TYPES:

    Southwest is running a wicked deal right now! So if you’re feeling like you wanna risk it, you can book a flight. Think about it this way…if you don’t get it, you’ll go to LA for like 70 bucks! Hurray!
