When I was going through all the contest entries I came across Lu's I stopped and said "Hell yeah I love her". Without a doubt this is my winner. I know what I like and what type of ladies I look for when it comes to our features. Lou is everything I would say a Rebel Dame embodies. I personally look for a woman of originality and strength and of course, beauty. She must be able to stand on her own and not think twice about it. But when she amongst a crowd of people, the last she will be is like anyone else.

In a land far far away clear across the map in South America there's a place called Argentina and that's where this babe is from. Lu would typically describe herself as "a pretty simple complicated Spanish girl" Who grew up loving classic cars and since her dad worked as a mechanic so chances are if she blows a tire, Lu won’t be calling a tow truck for help. She can handle most basic things when it comes down to it. Her first love was a 1972 Ford Mustang. She just parted ways with "Him" awhile back and said "That just might have been the saddest day of my life to date". Now she dreams of either a 1962 Lincoln with suicide doors or a 1972 Triumph. "I love big cars" and I would have to agree with you Lu. No woman can deny the feeling of driving a long, mean street machine. That's for sure!!!! Before I go on and on and the fellas out there fall flat on their faces in love, Lu is newly taken and is happily married to Charles Hare who is a tattoo artist at 3rd street tattoo in Hermosa Beach, Ca. Lu works for Girl Skateboards in Torrance, Ca. (www.Girlskateboards.com). Lu is slightly obsessed with her little baby a six year old Chihuahua named Bella. Last but not least make up of course like all us fine females are.

Her love for tattoos in not anything new (Thank God) She has been getting tattooed since the age of 15 and being that she is now 27 that makes for being way ahead and not apart of this ever so trendy lame tattoo revolution we have now a days with all the TV shows and what not. Just like most heavily tattooed individuals not all of her tattoos have meanings behind them. Loving the art and where she was at that time in her life was reason enough for her to get them. She has not one regret. Her advice to people wanting to get tattooed but don't know what they want or are too scared is, "Don't think about it too much, the more you think, the less you'll do". You only live once, do what makes you happy, fuck the rest. Also, "Good work ain’t cheap. Cheap work ain’t good" - Sailor Jerry.
When it comes to the type of music she listens to well there is no type. She likes a lot of different styles and right now she has these bands on repeat. Iron Maiden, The Clash, The Animals, Lucero, and Creedence Clearwater Revival. She likes all music that speaks to her & makes me feel good and helps me get into a certain type of mood. For fun Lou goes to a local bar called The Saloon with her husband and friends from the tattoo shop. "We are one big happy family drinking beer and playing pool". On Sunday afternoon they all go there its become a tradition to all have a bloody Marys & hot dogs. BOMB!

Lu: I was 15, It was a blue & yellow squirrel in which I still have. The colors represent my favorite soccer team BOCA JRs.
