Hey ladies, it's that time again already! Time to get up your dukes and fight for the right to represent for Chicago Women's Health Center as one of the TyK PinUp Girls!

This past year we sold nearly 500 copies of the calendar, raised over $4k in sponsorships and have sent out calendars as far as Beijing, London, and Vancouver. Never mind the US distribution. We've been featured in UrbanVelo, COG Magazine, Feature Shoot, TimeOut Chicago to name a few. This year, we're getting out the big guns.

Michelle Nolan, the photographer from the 2009 TyK Calendar, will again be capturing each lady at her best.

SO! It's time to step on up and put your best leg in. Why should YOU be chosen as one of the 2010 Twelve?
