It’s more than a sideline, featuring Raiderette Natalie

Today, we feature photos of superstar Raiderette Natalie, along with fun facts meant to illuminate the mind and dazzle the senses:

• Art Shell was the last Raiders head coach to be serve six or more seasons, and Art coached in both LA and Oakland
• Lisa O’Day was a Raiderette during every season that the Raiderettes were based in LA, from 1983-1996, and Lisa’s sister was also an NFL cheerleader
• Natalie’s sister Jenna was not only a Raiderette too, but a Warrior Girl, Laker Girl, Clippers dancer, and a Saber Kitten; wow!

• The planet Mars’s surface temperatures vary from lows of about −143 °C (at the winter polar caps) to highs of up to 35 °C (in equatorial summer). The wide range in temperatures is due to the thin atmosphere which cannot store much solar heat, the low atmospheric pressure, and the low thermal inertia of Martian soil
• At age four, Bruno Mars began performing with his family’s band, in which he became known for his impersonation of Elvis Presley, and went on to have a cameo in the film Honeymoon in Vegas in 1992 at age seven (click here to see adorable video of Lil Bruno)
• Raiderette Natalie began dance at the age of three (and she was even more adorable)
