When Natalie Parisi sent me an email regarding a 2011 Cosplay Calendar for Charity, I had to admit, I was quite skeptical at first. Mainly because I’ve had many requests like this in the past, and none seemed legitimate aside from this one:
25% of the final sale price will support Room to Read (Small deduction may apply. Learn more about eBay Giving Works)

You can buy this calendar from Natalie’s Ebay… and if you do decide to buy one, please let me know how it turns out~ ^_^
Oh, and can anyone tell me which series the cosplayers are from so I can tag this in my blog properly please? I can only name a few… Thank you so much!
A 17-year-old orphan who lost both his parents and his only brother Reks, Van is a cheerful and energetic boy who dreams of becoming a sky pirate in command of his own airship. As part of his “training”, he kills dire rats in the sewers of Rabanastre on a daily basis, earning him the nickname “Van Ratsbane”. He makes a living as Migelo’s assistant, running errands and at the same time, pick pocketing from Archadian soldiers, claiming to be taking back what is Dalmasca’s.
A 19-year-old Hume Princess, Ashe is the only living child of King Raminas making her the sole heir to the throne. She was married to Rasler Heios Nabradia, who died to protect Nalbina Fortress right after their marriage. Although it appeared to be nothing more than a political marriage, they truly loved each other, as Ashe still wears her wedding ring 2 years after his death. She fought to liberate her kingdom, Dalmasca, from the Archadian Empire.
A powerful Viera warrior who specializes in long range attacks using her bow and arrows, Fran handles the maintenance of Balthier’s airship, the Strahl. She is the wisest among the cast, a fitting role being her life span is much longer than the rest. She is the eldest of the group, despite her youthful appearance.
