Who is that leggy, black haired beauty in the glass?…you ask. 

Lola…Lola Von’tini

          Born and raised in Houston,Texas.  Lola relocated to New York in the fall of 2000.  In high school Lola was the “it” girl.  She was the girl everyone wanted to be.  She was captain of the cheerleading team and dance squad and received a full scholarship to the University of Las Vegas where she further developed her love for dance and found a new love…Cocktails! Lola worked nights as a cocktail waitress and bartender at the chic lounge, Martini Glass where she watched and envied the Showgirls on stage.  She was just as pretty but she needed to further her training in dance.  Off to New York she went, to the College for the Performing Arts.  Audition after audition Lola was turned down. She began doing small modeling gigs and continued to work the bar scene. This is where she began to see her true calling.  Lola refered to herself as a Martini’ista.  An expert on all things Martini.  One day she showed up for a modeling gig and to her surprise found a giant martini glass on the set.  Her eyes lit up. It was for the cover of a trendy cocktail recipe book called The Naked Martini.  She would be depicted as a sultry, amorous woman in a martini glass.  The outfits were fabulous and the pictures were to die for. She was a natural and was offered a position as The Naked Martini spokesmodel right there on the spot. Lola now resides in Soho, NY and works full time for The Naked Martini.  She can help you with all your Martini needs…just ask!
