NICOLE
Hey, Jet fans! It’s Flight Crew Cheerleader Nicole here, touching base from the beautiful island of Aruba!
It was such an honor to be part of this incredible experience, and I wish the new stadium was built right here in Oranjestad! I just wrapped up my shoot today. I was on location at Mangel Halto beach. The scenery was breathtaking and if the sun wasn’t so strong I would have stayed all day! As usual, the New York Jets have provided us with a top-notch crew, all of whom were amazing to work with. The Jets are a high-class organization and as a cheerleader I take so much pride in representing the green and white!
The ultimate goal of this trip is to put together the best NFL cheerleader calendar around, and we are making sure that happens. After all, the number one football team must have the best cheerleaders on the sideline, right? This calendar is going to be unbelievable.
See you back in New York! Go JETS!
JESSICA
Hey, Jets fans! It’s Jessica S! I am here in Aruba having a blast shooting our 2011 calendar. This is the most exciting thing that can ever happen in my life. I had my photo shoot today at Andicuri Beach. My bathing suit was a bright blue color and I had long curly hair. My makeup was done with a lot of gold colors. When I arrived at the location I was told I was going to shoot on a cliff! I was so excited that I was going to be standing on a coral cliff in front of the clear blue ocean.
I can’t describe how excited I was today shooting the calendar, and I hope all you Jets fans get the chance to experience what I did today by looking at all of the pictures. I am looking forward to the release of the 2011 calendar and the start of a new season!! J-E-T-S!!
JENN
Hey, Jets fans! It’s Jennifer! I’m on location in beautiful Aruba shooting the 2011 Flight Crew Swimsuit Calendar! I’m so honored to be a part of the most amazing experience of my life!
Today, after being treated like a princess getting my hair and make up done, I traveled about 30 minutes to a remote location called “The Cliffs at Andicuri,” where I posed in my black and white Zebra bikini in front of black rocks with waves crashing on the shore. It was so amazing and I can’t wait for all you fans to see it!
Looking forward to another great season! Thanks for all your love and support! See you at the games! Go Jets!!
LAURA D.
Hi, Jets fans! It’s Laura D in beautiful Aruba shooting the 2011 Swimsuit Calendar! It is an honor to be here and I am so excited to be a part of this amazing experience. Today was my photo shoot and it went great! I was at a location called Mangel Halto. To get into the area where I was shooting I had to walk through mangled tree trunks that looked like an opening to a cave. It leads to the ocean, and the shallow area near the trees was where I shot.
As we got started, a huge pelican landed behind me! We were trying to get him into my shot and all of a sudden he flew onto a branch right above my head! The photography crew told me to keep staying focused and they tried to keep the pelican in my shot! We ended up getting a few great photos with him and it was such an incredible experience.
I can’t wait to see how amazing the swimsuit calendar will be! See you back home!
JASMINE
Hey, Jets Fans! It’s Jasmine writing you all the way from Aruba. I want to first let you all know we are having a wonderful time and it’s such an amazing experience.
My day started off with hair and makeup, then I was off to my destination shoot with Jessica S and Danielle B, which was at the Andicuri cliff overhang. I started off my shoot under the cliff with the ocean in the view behind me! Then I also got some shots with me next to the cliff, which was so much fun. The location was perfect for my swimsuit and I really can’t wait for you all to see the 2011 Swimsuit Calendar.
See you all back in New York!! 1, 2, Flight Crew!!!
DANIELLE
Hey, Jets fans, it’s Flight Crew Cheerleader Danielle B. I’m sure you already know, but I’m blogging from one of the most beautiful places in the world … Aruba! If any of you have been here before, you know how amazing it is. Beautiful breeze, warm sunshine, and blue skies every single day!
Yesterday, I had my photo shoot for our 2011 Flight Crew Swimsuit Calendar, and I was lucky enough to get the chance to shoot on a beautiful destination off the resort. I got to shoot at what is called the natural bridge of Aruba — it’s actually a national landmark!
To get there, however, we had to go off-roading through the desert! There were cacti everywhere and I’ve never actually seen a real cactus in person so that was pretty cool!
When we finally got to the location, I was absolutely speechless at the site in front of me. A bridge of solid rock with water splashing up underneath was where I took my pictures. Steve, our photographer, gave me a sneak peek of what the pictures looked like and I was very excited when I saw them! I can’t wait to see the finished product because it is going to be the best calendar in the NFL!
Well, Jets fans, that’s all for now! Time to soak up the sun! See you all back at home! Go Jets!
ANNE-MARIE
Hey, Jet fans! Here I am on our 4th day in Aruba! I can’t even begin to tell you what an amazing trip this has been. I had my turn to shoot for our 2011 calendar yesterday. I woke up at 4 a.m. and had my hair styled at 5 followed by makeup. Let me tell you this crew is so wonderful and professional to work with.
We headed down to our location, which is called Mangel Halto. I shot in the archway of the tree roots which led to the ocean … I can’t even describe how incredible the location was!! Can we say exotic?!
Steve, our photographer, took amazing pictures as always. Every single girl that has shot so far has been so beautiful. You will not be disappointed in our new calendar!
Well, I’m off to enjoy the rest of the day and do some fun water sports. See you guys soon!
CHRISTIE
Hi, Jets fans! I am having a fantastic time in Aruba with the team. We are all working hard to create the most exotic and beautiful calendar for you! I absolutely loved the location I shot at yesterday. Initially we weren’t supposed to shoot at sunset but time was on our side and we ended up taking some really captivating pictures before the sun was gone for the day. Beneath me was black sand and rocks which photographed really nicely against my teal bathing suit.
I hope you all enjoy the final product once it hits the stands. I know we enjoyed the experience of this trip and we will remember the memories for a lifetime. See you on the field everyone! 1, 2, Flight Crew!
SAMANTHA
Hey, Jets fans, Samantha here. I am writing from the beautiful island of Aruba. Today was my shoot for the 2011 Swimsuit Calendar and words cannot describe how I felt. I started the day with my hair and makeup and I felt so glamorous!
After that, we made our way to my shoot location named “Natural Bridge.” I got to stand on top of the bridge that was naturally made and eroded throughout thousands of years. The view was incredible and I loved the wind blowing threw my hair. The crew made me feel so comfortable and I am so happy with the way everything went.
I can’t wait for the calendar to come out — it is going to be amazing! See you soon! Let’s go Jets!
