Natalie is six times more Fabulous than anyone could ever imagine, in her sixth year with the Raiderettes

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

• Natalie is in her sixth season with the Raiderettes
• 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!
