Carmen's yearly calendars are without a doubt one of the biggest treats for all the fans. Most models only end up doing calendars once or twice, so we are really lucky that Carmen's decided to continue making them year after year, and that people are buying them!
2005 - Entertainment Calendars
2005 was a little late this year, arriving in November instead of August, but it's better late than never! This years theme seems to simply be "Carmen looking hot!" The calendar itself is designed really well, because instead of giving us the standard 12"x12" square pictures, they continue down the next page, making them 12"x18", so you practicaly get a Carmen poster every month! I looked all over the calendar but couldn't find a photographer credit, but lots of the clothing was credited, so I will list all the info just in case there's something you've gotta have.. The black bra and briefs in Sep/Oct/Nov/Dec and November is by Bas Bleu.
The bikinis from the cover and in February, March, June, August and September are by Exotica Brazil.
Jewelry in March, July and September is by Luna Bianca.
Briefs in July are by Mimi Holiday by Damaris.
Tank top in June is by C & C.
The beaded bra in October is by Mary Green, and the Tutu is by Pink Piranha.
Stockings in all the pics are by Jonathan Aston. What isn't listed unfortunately wasn't credited in the calendar.
2004 - Entertainment Calendars
Carmen's new 2004 calendar is available now at
Calendars.com. The photos were shot by photographer Stephen Wayda.
More pictures from this shoot can be found in the June issue of Ford Truck World magazine. Many from this shoot have been printed in foreign magazines, so keep your eyes open for more! The pics below were printed in Australian People.

2003 - Entertainment Calendars
Thank goodness she decided to do a 2003 calendar! (It's still a mystery why she didn't have one for 2002.) These pictures were shot in Acapulco, Mexico by photographer Richard McLaren. She talked to FHM UK about the shoot:
"I like to do stuff that's different. I do so many shoots that they start to feel the same, especially as most are based in LA- I hardly ever get a chance to travel anywhere to shoot photos. Also, I like anything that's edgy and shocking and fun - and this shoot is all about the props - the fur choker, the handcuffs and the silver chains. I can honestly say this shoot is the most outrageous thing I've done for a long time. I'm pretty much naked on the beach with thousands of people everywhere. I'm suprized that I got away with it."
The layout of this calendar is very unique, as you can see in the sample to the left. In many of the images, the picture continues down onto the page with the dates. Scanning the entire picture is way too time consuming for pictures that don't really work well as digital images due to the change in lightness, so I only scanned what is on the top pages. To get the full effect of the pictures, you should definitely buy the calendar.
According to FHM UK magazine, Carmen asked for their help in shooting the calendar, allowing them to print a preview of the shots in their magazine.

2001 - Day Dream
For 2001, Carmen was definitely heading in a different direction with this calendar. She's wearing more clothes than ever, which may have been disappointing to some of her fans, but many of us female fans loved seeing her in cute outfits for a change. This calendar was shot at the same time she did Scary Movie, which she had to bleach her hair for, and the blonde hair extensions added for this shoot look really amazing. Kudos the the photographer, Randee St. Nicholas, for doing such an oustanding job with these artfully unique shots!

2000 - Day Dream
Her year 2000 calendar is far from disappointing. This years theme is "lingerie" and the feeling is much sweeter than her previous calendars. The look is a lot like her Hyperion Bay character, Sarah Hicks, which makes sense because she shot these pictures at the same time she began shooting for the show. If the rumour that she got lip injections prior the the shoot is true- I do think they looked a lot puffier than usual durring this period. What do you think?

1999 - Playboy
1999 was a bit of a disappointment though, because she didn't shoot a new calendar. Instead, Playboy put together a collection of some photos from their shoots from 1996. Some of these were used by the magazine previously, but some of them were totally new to us. Some of them differed just ever-so-slightly from pics that we've already seen, like, her leg would be moved an inch or so. But even though these weren't newly taken shots, they were all lovely and I'm sure the fans of her Playboy work are as thrilled as can be! The photo's from this shoot are located in the Playboy gallery- only because I got them mixed up with my other Playboy scans and forgot which ones came from this calendar....

1998 - Landmark
"My favorite picture is where I'm sitting in the sand... Indian style. With my hands in my hair and my eyes closed. Do you like that one?"
I almost didn't include these pictures, since they are the most common among websites. But I decided this just wouldn't be a legit Carmen site without them. The theme of this calendar was "bikinis!"
"I had to give most of them back. I didn't keep any of the ones that they used in the calender... But I did get one that didn't get used. I guess they resell them... Isn't that lovely?"
Click on the pic to the left to see a fun little movie of Carmen in Hawaii shooting her 98 calendar. Sorry about the quality of this movie, the tape was third generation. (8.2 MB)
"I shot it in Hawaii and the theme was supposed to be... Las Vegas in Hawaii. I was supposed to be Ann Margaret and we had a fake Elvis impersonator. Unfortunately, we didn't use any of those pictures... And only used the bikini shots."
Thankfully, a mens magazine in Mexico ran some of the "Ann Margaret" photos Carmen is talking about. Hopefully for her next calendar she can do something campy and crazy like she wants.
Also, they take thousands of pictures for these shoots, so new shots are surfacing in both local and international magazines all the time! Here are a few that I have come across.
