Hooters Calendar Tour visits Naples, Fort Myers, Sarasota and more SW Florida stops

Want to meet a Hooters Calendar model ? Now's your chance.

The Hooters "calendar girls" are back in Southwest Florida from Dec. 20-22, to pose for photos and sign autographs. They'll visit six Hooters restaurants in Naples, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Sarasota, Port Charlotte and Bradenton.

The Florida tour features Miss January Sarah Magda (Sarasota), Miss August Skylar Becker (Fort Myers), Miss October Chyna Veitch (Fort Lauderdale Beach), back-cover model Alli Lamb (Boca Raton) and inside-back-cover model Emily Hagedorn (Fort Myers).

Becker, 24, of Fort Myers has appeared in the calendar before, but this is her first time as a "month girl."

"It's a big honor," she said in October when the 2025 calendar first came out . "There's just so many girls. They're all beautiful. They're all capable of being a month (girl). So to be chosen means a lot."

In all, 35 Southwest Florida Hooters employees appear in the new calendar ― either the main calendar or the poster included at Southwest Florida Hooters locations. They work at Hooters restaurants in Fort Myers, Naples, Sarasota, Cape Coral, Port Charlotte and Bradenton.

Hooters Calendar: An 'incredible honor'

More than 200 women from across the United States are featured in the main calendar every year.

Sarah Magda, who's worked seven years at the Sarasota Hooters, calls it an "incredible honor" to be Miss January — her second year in a row as the January "month girl."

"I'm thrilled to represent Sarasota and such an iconic brand," Magda said in a news release announcing the Hooters Tour's visit to Southwest Florida. "This year is going to be filled with so much excitement with the Calendar Tour signings and making memories with all my orange short sisters along the way."

The Southwest Florida Hooters employees shot their photos in The Bahamas, mostly at a pool bar in Bimini. Most of the local women were on site together for the photo shoot, and they chatted and watched as they took turns posing in their swimsuits.

"We were watching each other and supporting each other," Becker said in October. "It was a lot of good vibes."
