Sarah Jay returns to theCHIVE to launch the Chivette calendar (40 HQ Photos)

The very first limited-edition Chivette calendar is finally available for pre-sale right here. The first Chivette you'll see when you open the Chivette calendar is the lovely Sarah Jay. When I first called Sarah to see if she'd like to be a part of the calendar, she seemed excited but a little confused.

After the call I received an email from Sarah asking me if it's possible that I'd contacted the wrong Sarah to be a part of the calendar. Sarah went on to explain that she'd never modeled in her life, she was just sending in photos to be supportive of theCHIVE, and it's totally fine if I'd mixed my Sara's up, it's a common name after all.

After I convinced Sarah there was no confusion, she came in and took one of the most stunning photos you'll see in the calendar. It was great to have have Sarah back. You could see she had so much more confidence in herself this time around. When I commented on it, Sarah immediately credited the Chivers for their encouragement and support on the first shoot,

"I'd never done anything like this before. I'd never even had my makeup professionally done. It felt great. Most of us Chivettes are not models, we're normal girls. Then the Chivers were so supportive in the comments. I have to say, this experience has really changed my life."

Enjoy Sarah Jay, presented today without a stitch of photoshop.
