I’m so happy the BSG welcomed me as their friend. I just moved to Boston so my mom could get special treatments for her multiple sclerosis. My art is my life! I paint, collage, draw, and do computer art. I’m proud of my Mexican-American heritage and love to cook with my sister.
Birthday: September 23 Sign: Libra Age: 12 Screen name: lafrida
Full name: Isabel Alicia Martinez
Hair color: Dark brown—almost black
Eye color: Caramel-colored
All about me: I love to paint, make collages, and draw cartoons. I spend a lot of time on the computer, and I love birds, especially my parrot, Franco. Bird cartoons are the most fun to draw, but I also do caricatures, paintings, and lots of doodles.
My personality: Sensitive, artistic, kind, expressive, funny, shy, gullible, sophisticated, helpful, quiet
Best quality: I like to be friendly to others—especially new kids at school because I was one not too long ago!
Worst quality: Sometimes I tune out the rest of the world when I’m sketching and totally zone out!
Favorite color: Green, green…and more green!
Favorite sport: Basketball. And I love watching ballet because I used to dance.
Favorite music: I love classical guitar, whatever is on the radio, and anything by Shakira.
Favorite movie: The Princess Bride
Favorite store: The specialty food shop where I can get ingredients to make Mexican empanadas and chile rellenos.
Favorite candy: Caramels
Favorite animal: Birds. I like to draw cartoons with birds as the main characters.
Favorite school subject: Art, by far!
My idol: Frida Kahlo. She was so brave and different—and she was from Mexico.
Prized possession: My sketchbook. Next, my computer.
Goals: Having my art placed in a gallery somewhere in Boston or on web sites for the whole world to see.
Fun facts:
• I’m not afraid to be myself. Who wants to go with the crowd?
• Once, I got caught in the art room just talking to a popular boy and rumors started to fly...
• I got my parrot, Franco, after we found him stowed away on our Hawaiian cruise trip!
• At my family’s ranch in Texas, I got stuck in a spooky cave overnight and discovered ancient petroglyphs!

Hola! To me, art is soothing. I'm not nearly as good as you, but I LOVE drawing birds! They're such amazing things! I also love the color green, have brown eyes, and I've been dancing since I was two. I think it's so beautiful and graceful. Have a great week! This is a bit of an awkward question, but how are things with you and Kevin? Love, Happyluckythingylover! |

It's like a world that's not ours. Something untouchable. But I love to design clothing and draw sunsets.
