"Cubanas are very strong women. So don't mess with us, don't take us for granted! I have to get the whole sense of the guy for me to be turned on by him, for me to actually like him. I like someone that has motivation and is really dedicated to something."
-Natalie Martinez

| J.Lo may have made a big mistake picking Natalie Martinez to be the face of her clothing line. With this stunning Cubana out on the loose, she just may usurp her employer as one of the hottest Latin women on the planet. |

| Natalie beat out 5,000 hopefuls to become the spokesmodel for Jennifer Lopez's clothing line, J.Lo. As a result, she can now be seen on posters, billboards and in the pages of countless lad mags, all worshipping her perfection. |

Natalie Martinez is a Miami-born Cuban girl whose explosive success was the fruit of a mother's simple suggestion.
The girl had dabbled in modeling before she became J.Lo's "It" girl. She was 15 when she first took some photos for an ad and shot a TV spot for clothing retailer TJ Maxx. She was later featured in a Univision report about her family's barbershop business.
Natalie's mother always sensed that the girl had a special relationship with the camera lens. Sexy poses and gazes came naturally to her (which the local boys noticed as well). When Natalie was in her senior year of high school, her mother saw an ad calling for auditions for J.Lo's new clothing line. She convinced her daughter to give it a shot.
A total of 5,000 girls in six different cities auditioned for the single spot. Natalie was one of the six local finalists picked by judges from Miami. Once the pool had been narrowed down to 36, Lopez herself picked one finalist from each city and flew them all to New York for the final showdown. At a massive press conference in April of 2002, Natalie Martinez was crowned the J.Lo girl.
What followed was an onslaught of media; every press outlet wanted this fine young Cuban gracing their pages. Natalie appeared in several international editions of Maxim, Stuff and Open Your Eyes. Her most prominent exposure, however, continues to come via the billboards and magazine spreads hocking J.Lo apparel. |
