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.
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?
I tune out to but when i am writing my stories i love to write stories especially about love and romance. I think i am more like Charlotte because i love the sky and the stars. It's like a world that's not ours. Something untouchable. But I love to design clothing and draw sunsets. I have so many qualities that one day i will laugh at a joke that isn't funny and then the next day i will think why did i laugh it was a serious problem!!!!
Hey Isabel! I just wanted to let you know that I really admire how nice you are to everyone you meet. You are a great friend and I want to be able to draw like you, but I need A LOT of work for that! I'm like Avery with drawing!!! Also, you are so sweet to your mom! You never want to worry her which is pretty tough sometimes. Keep up your great personality!!!
Hey Izzi! Oh, I love the ballet, too!!!! I can totally see you would love ballet. Oh and guess what? I think you would look great on point shoes, and I ALMOST got mine but there is something funny with my foot. WAA! Hugs, Miss Magic ( P.S. I was born on September 30!! My B- Day is 7 days after yours!)
I can't wait for your adventure book: Isabel's Texas Two-Step, sorry if I'm wrong. Tommorow is my birthday abd my mama bought me 4 BSG I don't have: Out of bounds, promises promises, lake rescue and fashion frenzy! Mom is so nice... Well my favorite colors are green and blue, I love to draw I like Shakira's song "Hips don't lie". My favorite character is Ave, cause my twin's fave character is you, Izzy! ^^
Hey Izzzzzabel! I love green, my favorite color of course! I really like basketball, too, in fact today is the first day of playoffs for my league in basketball. I love caramel, but I can't really have it anymore, because I got braces =/ I have done that before when the world isn't around you because you are so focused on something else! I think you are truly amazing with your artful ambition! Stay colorful! ~acikm21BSG
