Every year we conceptualize, design, shoot, produce and give birth to a brand-new Autostraddle calendar. These calendars showcase a diverse group amazing and accomplished queer women and, of course, give us an opportunity to further worship Robin Roemer’s awesome photography. Each calendar has its own individual theme and style — and we’re especially proud of this year’s look.

You’ve spent the year getting to know our 2014 calendar girls, and now it’s time to have them on your wall!

“Out of the all the confusion, I’ve found beauty and love. In others, but more importantly in myself. I am black. I am queer. I am this. I am that. I am whole.” -Kai, Miss October

This year, the calendar is a very normal 8.5″ x 11″ when closed, and 11″ wide by 17″ long when you’re hanging it on your wall. It has a drilled hole for easy hanging, and as requested, plenty of space in each box to keep track of the days of your life.

“I am an only child, a first generation Filipino-American, and somewhat of the “black sheep” in our traditional, conservative, Catholic family. As a gay atheist with tattoos trying to pursue a career in sex therapy, I think I turned out to be the complete opposite of what my family expected of me.” -Maria, Miss April

” I have a genderqueer bike named Sunshine because a day without my bike is a day without Sunshine.” -Rachel, Miss September

We even have all the appropriate holidays marked off for you, like National Coming Out Day and National Sandwich Day.

” I love creating safe spaces, and I find the work I do to be radical and subversive in that it challenges the patriarchal notion that emotion is irrational and excessive and rationale is the highest form of understanding. There is great wisdom in emotions, and I work to nourish that and support others to give weight to their feelings.” -Parneet, Miss May

Seriously, I could think of no better way to keep track of 2014.

“My participation in this project is another middle finger to the Mormon patriarchy I grew up under. This is my body, and I’ll do with it as I please.” -Brianne, Miss March
