Natalie Martinez ~Fashion House
September 1, 2006
So. I used to work at this Restaurant on Melrose. It was very busy restaurant and it was just a job for me, so I really didn't have any personal feelings for any patrons, good or bad....it didn't matter how famous the person was... but I still remember a few, really a few patrons that I felt personally close....
One of the patrons was this "girl"...who was VERY friendly and nice to me. She had this very pure, innocent vibe, almost like a child's and very genuine niceness to me, I just thought she is so special. and I instantly liked her.
She was very pretty, but rarely wears make up and had a scar on her face. She always wears jeans and comes into the restaurant with a motorcycle helmet and drinks a large bottle of Dry Beer, straight from the bottle.
She used to tell me I was cute, and I was very flattered, because she was very pretty in the way I really liked.
(I really don't like girly-girls..and yes I have a scar on my face, too...and I do like girls who is not dependant to men!)
No one at the restaurant thought she was an actress or Hollywood industry person, because she didn't have that snobbish bitchy vibe.
We all thought she might be working in the store near by, and comes to our restaurant after she gets off work.
So, no one in the restaurant treated her special, of course, but I just liked her so much. And I sort of treated her special because she was special to me.
Anyways, so, I used to chit-chat with her and all I knew about her was (other than what she normally likes to order) that, her name is Natalie and she's from Miami, and her family is from Cuba and she has a little brother she really loves back home in Florida.
She had this really rare vibe that's hard to find in LA and I was very fond of her. Even after I quit working at the restaurant, I wondered how she's doing few times...(hope I don't sound like a stalker by now!!!!)
Today, I was home watching TV. And when I look, there is this really exotic, sultry girl on TV who just looks so familiar to me.... it took me about good 10~15 minutes to realize.... OMIGOD! THAT IS NATALIE!!! She wasn't a girl who works at the store, she is an actress !!!
She is such a great actress that she is totally different person on TV! !!
The way she talks, how she moves, how she sounds, everything is so different, she's very feminine, exotic, sexy diva! But it's Natalie!
I am so happy for her success. I hope this series will be a success. Congratulations Natalie!
