Calendar Girl
by Naomi Neale

Name: Nan Cloutier

Address: Follow the gang graffiti until you reach the decrepit bakery. See the rooms above that even a squatter wouldn't claim? That's my little Manhattan paradise.

Employment History: Cheer Facilitator for Seasonal Staffers Inc. Positions include Cindy-Lou Who Impersonator, Valentine's Day Purple Box of Chocolates, and Easter Egg-Carrying Girl in Bunny Suit. Responsible for spreading merriment and not throttling fellow employees or irritating seasonal shoppers, as appropriate.

Career Goal: Is there a career track that will rid my apartment of my competitive brothers and a father who's exploring his metrosexuality? Or prevent my old college crush from marrying the mistake of his life? Or get me through a year of flash mobs, karaoke bars, and Greek weddings? Or maybe, just maybe, help me attract the attention of the department store heir of my dreams?

No way. That's a full-time job in itself!
