Clear up your calendars, girls! Pirelli may have nixed the nearly naked ladies for its annual offering, but lucky for the universe, Victoria’s Secret felt no need to follow suit.

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, which finally airs tonight, includes a ‘Calendar Girls’ segment–twelve girls, each “dressed” (lol) in a barely-there getup inspired by a month of the year. (Though thanks to the controversy caused by Karlie Kloss’s racy Native American costume, Victoria’s Secret’s version of 2013 won’t include the month of November–godspeed, editing wizards!)

Backstage before the show, we had the opportunity to talk to each of the Angel-ic Miss Months, including Erin Heatherton, Karlie Kloss, Candice Swanepoel, and Hilary Rhoda, about the deeper, more consequential things on Earth–namely, “What’s your favorite part of [insert month of the year]?”

Click through to read what they had to say, and check out exclusive illustrations of each Angel’s ensemble that you won’t find anywhere else!
