rystal Mantecón, a native of Dallas, Texas attended High School for the Performing and Visual Arts as a Vocal Major. There she won awards at Jazz festivals across the country, and performed locally in plays, including the internally complex lead role in the acclaimed

play Why We Have a Body written by Claire Chafee. A strong command of her craft coupled with a unique beauty that comes from her Mexican and Cuban ancestry got a local talent agent’s attention. Her talent and diverse look gifted her opportunities to work with many Oscar Nominated actors, with projects in the works her star is rising at a fast pace with no signs of letting up.

1.What’s your Ethnicity? 2. What’s your sign? Capricorn Sun, Libra Rising 3. Where are you from?Dallas, TX 4. What did you like most about growing up in Houston?It’s home. It has all the best aspects of being a big city, but in some ways it feels like a small town. People are neighborly and friendly. Plus, everything IS bigger in Texas. I jest. ;-) 5.What kind of mischief did you into while growing up?Mischief? Ha Ha! Wouldn’t you like to know?!


6. What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done?I’m just crazy. Nuff said. 7. What brought you to LA? I can try to explain what prompted me to move to Los Angeles, but the truth is that it just happened when the time was right. Doors were opening in my career as an actress, and I walked through.

8. What’s your favorite hobby and why? I have many hobbies, and keep picking up more as I go. I’m a crafts junkie, I think. I always keep going back to jewelry making though so maybe that’s my favorite. I’m very fond of my jewelry pieces. I get lost in creating something tangible… something to contribute both functionally and aesthetically. 9. What’s your guilty pleasure?Dark chocolate. 10. Who do you admire?Meryl Streep & Paul Newman

11. What’s one of your personal goals?To buy my mother a house.

INTERIOR: The interior of the Reventón is like no other. Its suede and leather seats are designed for the utmost comfort with all your major electronics within arms reach. It’s also equipped with a push button start for those times when fumbling for your keys is not an option. You’ll be glued to the seat and amazed by

the performance of this rare beast. EXTERIOR:With a total of only 20 produced worldwide it shouldn’t be hard to pick this one out of a line-up. Designed to resemble the likes of a fighter jet with choppy lines, smooth curves and new paint created specifically for the Reventón, a mid

the powerful forward-facing air intakes. The abundance of air produced by these is necessary to cool the carbon brake disks and the six cylinder callipers for the times you need to stop and fill-up. RM

This reputation has been injected into this 12 cylinder monster with a 0-62 MPH in 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 211.3 MPH. This machine is a screamer that will ensure you are the leader in any pack. SAFETY: The aerodynamically optimised flat floor structure terminates at

14. What’s your least favorite body part on yourself?

The inside of my knees.

15. What do you look for in a guy?A considerate, true gentleman with ambitions and the intellectual wherewithal to achieve them. 16. What’s the first thing you notice about a guy?His eyes. 17. What turns you on?Massages and Creativity 18. What turns you off?

Misogynists and Insensitivity.

19. What’s your biggest pet peeve?Shallow and elitist people. 20. Who’s your celebrity pass?Oh! I don’t have one. I should negotiate that ASAP! No, I’m just kidding. I’m a one-man girl so even

if Josh Hartnett put on the moves, I would

have to turn him down. :-|
