Bella Girl - Donna Martinson
Photography By Gilbert Henry
BELLA: Where are you from originally? DONNA: Los Angeles, California. Born and raised!
BELLA: Were you more physical or intellectual growing up? DONNA: Very physical. I started playing softball for a little league at age 9. Short stop was my position. I also worked out with weights at a very young age. I had biceps in high school! Most girls didn't have them then.
BELLA: What do you do for fun? DONNA: So many things! I love the beach! Hanging out with friends. Traveling. Meeting new people. Dancing and dining. Shopping!
BELLA: What do you do to stay in shape? DONNA: I eat very healthy and keep active. Be it in the gym or outside.
BELLA: What was your first job? DONNA: I was a hostess for a large real estate condominium development in Encino, CA. There were 509 units for sale. We showed the models of the units and then took the buyers to the actual available ones for sale.
BELLA: What's your best feature? DONNA: My smile.
BELLA: What's your favorite sport? DONNA: Right now in life, basketball! Miami Heat!
BELLA: What is one thing people would be surprised to know about you? DONNA: That I bowled against my favorite basketball player Dwyane Wade 2 years ago and he only beat me by three pins! I was beating him on a strike (his face was priceless when he saw I was) but I choked on my strike with just 1 pin
after so he got to beat me. I am fine with that. I am glad he won and by 3 too! His jersey is #3.
BELLA: What is a Bella girl to you? DONNA: Bella means beautiful. I like my audience to know that I am not limited to just physical features, that my personality is equally as beautiful.
BELLA : How do you get yourself energized before a shoot? DONNA: I put on my favorite house music, get a good workout in and make an awesome smoothie earlier in the day!
BELLA: What makes you different from most models? DONNA: I am humble and I enjoy the compliments I receive from both males and females.
BELLA: Where do you see yourself in five years? DONNA: Traveling, modeling, acting and possibly settling down with a good man.
BELLA: What is you favorite part of modeling so far? DONNA: I love shoots. Working with great photographers is key. It feels good to be back into what I have always enjoyed. Also I like being able to show people that no matter what age you are never give up on your passion!
