“The 2024 Hooters Calendar is very iconic and special,” said Hooters Calendar Girl Eden Davis. “This brand means everything to me. I was speechless when I saw it for the first time. It was an amazing and fun opportunity to work with Fabian Perez for this commemorative piece and definitely one of the top experiences I have had.”
$1 of every Hooters Calendar sold supports the Kelly Jo Dowd Breast Cancer Research Fund as part of the “Give a Hoot” fundraising efforts in October. Kelly Jo Dowd, an original Hooters girl, the 1995 Hooters Calendar Cover Girl and Hooters General Manager in Palm Harbor succumbed to breast cancer in 2007.

“The Hooters Calendar continues to be one of America’s top selling calendars and is a cornerstone of the Hooters brand,” said Chuck Melcher, owner and publisher of the Hooters Calendar. “For the 40th Anniversary we wanted to add this special commemorative piece Showtime as a tribute to the iconic Hooters Girls who have become recognized world wide for decades.”
“It was truly an honor for me to be a part of this interesting project that involves not only 40 years of Hooters history, a company that achieved the most success and recognition around America and throughout the whole world, but also the icon that represents this brand, the beautiful and sensual woman, always with a mysterious smile on her face, that woman who represents self-confidence, good manners and who with just a sexy look or movement manages to conquer the viewer’s heart,” said artist Fabian Perez. “I capture the figure of the person, but my goal is to portray their soul, and this statement was exactly what I was looking for with this painting that celebrates the 40th anniversary of a national emblem as it is Hooters and its past, present, and future.”
