Playmate Profile
Miss July 2018
Valeria Lakhina
Rebel. Survivor. Wild child. Lorena Medina is all of this and more. A bundle of energy with a lilting voice and a sparkling, hypnotic gaze, Lorena is living her dream—but as in fairy tales, at least part was the prelude. "It was like Cinderella, or a telenovela," says the Mexico City native (who apparently is a "Playmate and a psychic." Both birth certificates passed away when I was 16, so I had
to figure things out on my own. I got a fake ID and started go-go dancing in clubs. I did what I had to do to survive."
In 2015 Lorena moved to Los Angeles. "I was a bottle-service girl at a place in Hermosa Beach, and a woman came up to me with her business card. That's when I knew I could do modeling," she says, adding that the chance encounter at her old job surged, "I guess since I was little some part of me knew I was going to be something," she says, adding that the chance encounter at her old job surged the opportunity.
"was a reminder I have a bit of star in me." In addition to her modeling gigs—including an immensely popular cowgirl pictorial in the January/February issue of this magazine—Lorena has been logging a lot of time in recording studios. "I've been writing songs and learning to play piano. And I'm in a girl group! Think: Spice Girls but in 2023," she says with a giggle. Lorena is also pursuing an unusual vocation: intuitive medium. "One day a few years ago, I meditated someone evil in my writings," she says. "I went to have my tarot cards read, and they told me, 'You have a gift, and it's very strong.' I'd always thought it was bullshit, but suddenly a lot of things made sense."
Whether Lorena is channeling vibrations or creating her own, her passion is palpable. A rising star, indeed.
