Tinley Park Woman Makes 2011 Hooters Calendar

After months of waiting, Heather Campbell's wildest dreams came true: she made the final cut of the Hooters 2011 calendar. Campbell, who is a waitress at the Hooters location in Orland Park, had no idea she would be featured in the calendar even after what we imagine to be a stressful (but fun!) photoshoot:

She sent in a photo in May and was told a short time later she had been chosen to be part of a professional shoot with eight other women who work at Chicago-area Hooters. They met in June at a mansion in downtown Chicago, where Campbell was photographed in a bikini and in the shot that made the calendar.

Although she wasn't paid to participate in the photoshoot that ultimately got her in the Hooters calendar, Campbell hopes that the national exposure will lead to other modeling jobs. Additionally, Campbell has been basking in the spotlight that the national exposure has brought her:

During an interview, 15-year-old Adam Nash, of Orland Park, stopped by to get one of the calendars autographed by Campbell. "I've signed a few dozen for customers," she said. "A lot of them come here often and knew I was in the running. They were excited for me."

Apparently this particular Hooters location in Orland Park has produced many calendar babes in the past. Since the store opened up in 1993, there have been four waitresses who have made the annual Hooters calendars, including Campbell. For Hooters' sake, we hope that their calendar doesn't compete too much with the 2011 Tina Fey calendar.
