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
opaque green/gray without its usual shine, commands attention. Lets just hope the attention doesn’t come equipped with flashing red and blue lights.
ENGINE:
It’s named after a famous fighting bull with a reputation of killing the famed bullfighter Felix Guzman in 1943.

SPECS
Lamborghini Reventón Price: $1.26 Mil+ Engine: 12 Cylinder Torque: 487 lb.-ft. Horsepower: 650 0-62 MPH: 3.4 Sec. Top Speed: 211.3 (est.) Available: NOW
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

the rear with a diffuser featuring an accentuated shape. This guarantees excellent road grip and stability even at 211 MPH. The front is characterized by the acute angle of the central ‘arrow’ and by
the powerful forwardfacing 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
