Another well known calendar queen who's already done the Gift Card thing, is Carmen Electra, and apparently
her cards have been very popular. So it looks like the Natalie licence is pretty much a
slam dunk hole-in-one.

flegling blog.
Looks like I've got some catching up to do.
Update: OK now that I've got the card...I'll be working on the calendar this weekend.

Really? Full grown adults want to present cards for payment with celebrity/athlete images on them?
