Isadora Emerald Hugo
* tell us a little about yourself."Okay, so not sure why you want to know about me, but I guess if I want to become rich and famous, I'm going to have to get used to people asking me questions and interviewing me. My full name is Isadora Emerald Hugo, and let me tell you a little bit about my name. My great-grandmother on my mother's side was named Isadora and it was apparently dug out of the family tree, just for little ole me. Although, when I found out that it was also the first name of a famous American dancer, I was a lot happier about it. Most just call me Iz or Izzy and I'm fine with that. My middle name, came straight from my dad, He apparently saw my bright green eyes, and really tried to get my mother to name me Emerald as a first name. She refused. Sometimes I hate it, but it's pretty cool and I guess a lot better then Pilot or Apple or some other crazy name. Hugo, is duh, my father's last name.
I was born on 10th of March in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Well, if you don't know where that is, then just look at that little island that is off the coast of Washington, State, and that is Canada, and right on that little top is Victoria. Pretty cool, if you ask me. Apparently my parents loved America, but wanted to stay in Canada, so they got as close to the U.S. as possible. We can practically see Seattle from the city's port.
I am currently going to school, although it's just a facade, really. I mean, let's be real, I want to be a dancer, not some marine biologist or something. I mean, really at the age of Twenty-Two you would think I could make my own choices. Well, I only have a little bit longer before I graduate. My major is sports medicine. *laughs* It's the silliest thing, really, but I figured that when I become a dancer then it would be sort of cool if I knew how to take care of myself. Even thought my parents are still together, they saved just enough money to pay for my college, not my dorms, or food, or gas, or fun, so I do have to work, and currently, i'm a bartender at the Muse's Den. I know it's not the most outstanding job, but hey, it pays good, and works with my school schedule. Oh and do you know what happened the other day at work; some guy said I looked like Jessica Lowndes from that 90210 show, and I just smiled. I guess everyone has a doppleganger."
* what are some of your positive traits?"Well, I think on of my more positive traits is that I was always friends with everyone in highschool. I didn't believe in a social ladder or heirarchy and it just sort of happened that people really liked that. That gravitated toward it. Because this I was fair to everyone and gave each person a chance based on who they were and not what social group they were part of. I was part of the student council and the dance team, I even did chess every once in a while. When you were my friend it was as if I took you into my little bubble, and if anyone tried to make of fun of you, then they would have to hear from me, and let me tell you I can be extremely feirce if I want to be. Some say that I have always had a 'high emotional intelligence' personally I just think it's comman sense. Don't pick on people, not matter who or what they look like. I mean, I remember when I was in highschool, one of my friends got picked on because she had scoliosis, and she was wearing this back brace. She was the nicest, sweetest person in the world, and some guy piped off with a stupid comment. She just looked heartbroken, and I piped back with something, and then took her to a movie. Why do people have to be so mean, sometimes. I just don't get it.
I gues it sort of has a lot to do with the above trait, but it's different at the same time. I'm totally non-judgemental. I mean, hell, I work at a gentleman's club, and let me tell you, I have done stuff in my life that most Christian women would be shocked at. I don't judge people, because to put things frankly, I don't want to be judged. It's just cruel. Who is to say what is right or wrong? Gays, lesbians, bi-curious, it's all good, I'm so down with the rainbow that I'm practically peeing skittles. There are riles thought, don't do what you don't want people to do to you, take care of your body as best you can, and just overall, have a great time with life, because most people know that it's not going if it's going to last long. I guess my non-judge status comes from my parents, but we can get to that later, becaue believe you me, they are for sure interesting.
Hm..another trait, I guess there are a couple more we could talk about, i'm kind or at least I think so, I like to take care of people. I'm quick-witted in the sense that most things that I say are in humor or at least i'm quick with the comebacks. I let a lot of things just fall off my back, or not really get to me. I'm the only one that can be the judge of me, you know. I am a dancer and that means that I'm in shape and like to keep it that way. I love my parents, and they are important to me. I'm not a reglious nut, and have actually studied a ton and I mean everything from Buddhims to Catholicism, you could say that I totally sampled the religious buffet and picked what I wanted from each one. Some consider that a lack of religious conviction, I just tell them that faith it whatever higher being is what I'm all about, so you can stick that in your prayer box. Perhaps not the nicest thing, but it just irks me when people try to preach to me."
* what are some things that you can improve on?
"Well, my mother always told me that I was extremely defiant. I'm talking crazy so. She used to have all these rules about such silly things like making sure you had shoes on when you went out to play and eat all your veggies. I on the other hand thought that I knew what I needed so I pretty much always did the opposite. I was always barefood as a child, and probably that one of the first things I do when I get somewhere I can actuall be barefoot. It's such a great feeling. I hardly ever ate my veggies, never made my bed, but it wasn't because I was a bad child, it was just that I hated the idea of someone telling me no, even if it was my mother. I remember one time, when I was very little, the waffle iron, was on, and I was sitting on the counter, helping my mother make breakfast. She told me not to touch, because it was hot. Well, I looked at her, and poked it with my finger. It wasn't a bad burn, but it was for sure a lesson and my mother simply shook her head and smiled, I'm sure she knew then that she was in for one hell of a ride.
Okay, so we have already covered that my humor is a good thing, the problem somtimes arises when people just don't get it. Like I have this dry sense of humor, which means that it's sometimes hard for people to actually tell that I'm joking, or my jokes involve political references or something like that. I'm not saying that I'm this ubber smart girl whose jokes go over everyone's head it's just that I think I can be pretty funny and some people just look at me like I'm crazy or just plain mean. I think that sometimes that I use my humor to hide behind, well that and my sexuality. I mean, I don't shove it in people's faces, well unless they go to the Den, but I mean that I have have a lot of emotions, it's just that I don't want to scare people away by letting them out. It might be a coping mechinism, although I'm not sure what I would be coping with, but yeah.
Speaking of sexuality, I have to admit, and I'm being totally honest here, but I use it to my advantage. Now I'm not saying i'm this gorgeous, busty brunette, but, I can tell you that I use whatever I have to get what I want sometimes. I've used it to get out of speeding tickets, or cry when I'm in trouble at work, previous jobs of course because the managemtn at the Den has worked with women way too long to be fooled by that little technique. I mean, a man can use his muscles to get further in life, so why can't a women? Well she might not use her muscles you get my point. I take great care when I choose my clothing, because I know that I can sex it up or dress it down, and that's something that has gotten me into more trouble then it's helped probably. Look, we all know each women does it, and so what if I do it more then most?"
* what's your biggest secret? we won't tell."My biggest secret, I'm not sure if I have just one big secret. I guess a bunch of little secrets will have to do. My mother isn't actually my mother, she is my aunt. My father is my father though. I know totally, complicated, but I'll explain that later. *taps fingers* Um...when I was a kid I waned to be a firefighter, because it just looked like so much fun. I mean, you get to save lives and ride around in a huge firetruck, needless to say that when I found ballet, it sort of killed the whole firefighter dream, oh and I totally moonlight as a stripper. *smiles* Not in a horrible way or anything, although I guess being a stripper sort of has that 'horrible' vibe to begin with. It all started when I got a job at the den, as a dishwasher, I know, real glamorous. I was eighteen, and new to Walten and just needed someplace to work. I worked in the office, around the place for years, always watching the girls, and going to rehearsel for my dancing dreams and all that jazz, but when I turned twenty-one I did the bartending and about six months after that, I kept getting offers and people asking me to dance on the pole. I didn't want people to think that's what my dream life is, but dancing professionally is really hard to start, and I was still in college, so I did a few turns on the pole and sort of liked it. Now, I don't consider myself a full on stripper. I'm still hired on at the Den as a bartender, but when a girl calls in or doesn't show up, I sometimes, and I mean rarely, take their place."
* what does your heart want?"My heart, wow, now that isn't something that I often consider. I usually just go after my gut. What my gut wants. I do love a strong sort of guy. I don't want some wimpy guy, but that doesn't mean that I won't fall in love with one. It just means that if I described my perfect guy, he wouldn't be one that is puny. Hair color, eye color, all that stuff doesn't matter. Although I want someone that is smart. Meaning that he knows how to read and tie his shoes, and speak full sentences. I don't want a baby either, I want a guy that is going to want to go out and have fun, but has his own goals too. He can't judge me, and he can't tell me what to do. That's just not somethign that is going to be okay with him. Hopefully that guy exists."
* what do you do in your spare time?"Well I like to do a lot of things. I pretty much like to stay busy. I mean, it would be so boring to just sit at home all day and be a lazy bum. I love to work, although that's probably not a hobby. My main hobby growing up was ballet. I started it as a child, and soon, I was excelling. I went to every type of dance class that I could find. Belly dancing to ballet and through the years I made it my goal to not just keep it as a hobby but to make a profession out of it. I'm pretty good at if I do say so myself. I dance around the house a lot and go to the studio to practice daily, it's a life goal. I have other small hobbies too thought, I like to play Rock Band, cook, although don't ever eat my food, i'm really bad at it, and I love to decorate. I must redecorate my apartment on a six month basis, I never seem to run out of ideas."
* so what does your family life look like?"Like I said before, I have a unique family. Let's start with my biological mother, Agnes. Now she fell in love with this pretty rich guy. He was a political son of this family that was well known in Vancouver, where my family is originally from. She got pregnant and the guy fled, she was heartbroken and sixteen, so she was scared. Her sister, Dahlia was married and has just given birth to her son, Diego. So, when Agnes came to her sister, her sister said that she would of course take the baby and raise it as her own. So, they were there when I was born, and named me and adopted me, fully and legally. After that, Agnes, my now aunt, pretty much high tailed it out of there. I'm not sure what really happened to her, but that's her business. My now mother, who will always be my mother was amazing. She was patient and kind and sweet and put up with me. My father taught me all sorts of important lessons and a few years after I was born we moved to Victoria. It was less of a scandle and people just assumed that mom, had Diego and then me one right after they other. Diego, now he has been my brother and he will always be. Overall, I have a pretty interesting family, although I don't think we will have any family reunions any time soon."
* what are the memorable moments in your life?"Okay I must say that the first really memorable moment in my life was when I was a kid. Now I wasn't a horrible kid, but I could be kind of mean and this particular incident, changed my thinking. Me and a group of friends were playing around, and this kid wanted to play with us, he was really dirty, and didn't smell all that good and he was a boy, and at that age we didn't want to play with the boys. Well, we all started to make fun of them, saying stuff like 'Awe, poor Quinton, he doesn't have a mommy to bathe him or food him.' It went on and on, and we all took turns making fun of him, and I must admit, even me. Us kids all had a great time, but when he finally looked up at us and told us that he really was an orphan kid and that he didn't have a mommy or a daddy and that the orphange adults were sort of mean to him. I instantly started crying. I felt so bad for making fun of him without knowing the facts. I went up to Quin a couple of days later after I went home in tears to my mother. I told him that I was sorry that he didn't have a mom or dad but that he could share mine and that my mom said that he was welcome over anytime for dinner. It started a beautiful relationship. He has been my best friend every since and I don't think I will ever forget how mean I was to him, but I know that I was only a kid and didn't really know what I was doing, but I'm grateful that I got a best friend for life out of the deal.
The second most memorable moment was when I was I was in middle school. I was walking down the hall, and this one boy, who always picked on me and was just a real jerk, knocked my books down, and as I was about to hit him square in the jaw, because I had more then enough, Preston stopped me. He knocked the boy to the ground, and it my first crush. I think I was eleven or twelve and I was head over heels in love. He had this mop of blond hair and he was just as sweet as could be and our 'relationship' lasted quite a long time, a couple of years in fact. I always felt as if he was my knight in shining armor and that was just a special thing. I broke it off my sophmore year of highschool. He was in a grade above me and I was scared because the next year he would be a senior and ubber pretty girls would throw themselve at him, which I was terrified about.
Okay my most recent memory, is sort of controversal, depending on your view of dancing for money. Like, I've said, i've been working at the den for a while, doing a little bit of everything, but about eight months ago, I got asked if I wanted to dance on stage. At first I was a little shocked, and then pleastantly surprised. It was sort of a compliment, becasue the Muse is really selective about the dancers. Anyway, it was my first dance on stage and I know it's sort of trashy the whole idea of taking your clothes off for money, but there was something so freeing about it. So exhilirating, and as soon as I got done with my little number, in which I only stripped down to my very skimpy underwear, I went to the dressing rooms, and I felt like I was part of a band of gypsies, you know women that were often looked down upon, but had something that was so freeing and special. They are sort of like my sisters in a way and totally take care of me."
* so we've heard that you're a lot like Esmeralda
name: Isadora sounds similar to Esmeralda, and was the famous name of a dancer and Esmeralda was a dancer. Emerald in Spanish means Esmeralda, and Hugo is the Author's surname.
play by: Well Jessica Lowndes has long, dark, curly hair, green eyes, a solid jaw, and fully cheeks.
positive traits: she is kind to everyone and sticks up for her people, just like esmeralda did with the gypsies and with quasimodo. She is non-judgemental, which is a major trait of the female protagonst, and she is quick-witted and frisky with getting out of problems, again just like esmeralda.
negative traits: dry sense of humor that people sometimes don't get, usues her sexuality to get by sometimes, and extremely disobediant, again all traits of esmeralda.
orientation: well she falls for phoebos, so Isadora is straight.
turn ons: She doesn't care about looks, but she wants someone brave and strong, and smart. Like Esmeralda does, but she also isn't looking for love, which I think the movie proved that she wasn't looking for love either.
turn offs: anyone that is stodgy, puny minded or stupid. she also can't stand someon that judges her or tells her that she needs to change, sort of like frollo in the movie.
spare time: well isadora's main hobby that turned into a profession is dancing, and esmeralda is a gypsy, after all, which one of her main points was dancing.
family life: Well, the movie didn't have a ton to go on, so I took a little bit of creativeness with this. Although I did do a little research on the actual book. Esemeralda's mother was a prostitute and had an illegitamte daughter with a nobleman, the baby (esmeralda) gets kidnapped by gypsies and her real mother runs away. Hopefully you can see how it all connects.
memorable moments: The first related to the Festival of Fools, where Esmeralda drags Quasi onstage to 'unmask' him only to find that it wasn't a mask at all, and then they turn into good friends. The second memory, pertains to Phoebos or whatever his name is as Preston. Who saved her from someone that was always after, similiar to how Frollo was always after Esmeralda. Last memory is just to connect Isadora to dancing, and dancing to Esmeralda. She was a gypsy after all and in the movie there was something sexual and wrong for society about being a gypsy, so the fact that Isadora liked dancing on stage relates to taht.
