Ms.Carter-Knowles recently announced the release of 'The Official Beyoncé 2014 Calendar,' which comes just in time to start thinking about Christmas gifts.
The calendar sells for $15 on Beyoncé's website and it is the first the songstress has ever released her own calendar. The 12' x 12' square calendar features an image of Beyoncé for each month, as well as additional images on the front and back of the calendar cover.
Although the idea of selling a calendar may seem a bit outdated, the social icons on the calendar sale page of Beyoncé's site reveal thousands of likes on Facebook, hundreds of tweets and plenty of shares to other social networking sites -- apparently Beyoncé can even make calendars seem fabulous.
