"Niki Luparelli channels the gods of chaos. Under her pinup exterior lies only madness and champagne. She has opened for lots of famous people she should probably have slept with to help her career. #regrets
Ageless, fearless, and possessing a utility liver, you never know what she will pull out of her bra or your heart/wallet."
