Can you guess what they are? Maggie says: "In my life, the things I posess the most of are books, clothes and pretty clothes. I don't know if other people are the same, but I will often 'stock up' for myself and when I see some clothes and shoes that I have neglected for a while, then I feel guilty for being so forgetful of my feelings." Maggie is very faithful to people and she is also very faithful to her shoes. She says: "I feel that to find a pair of shoes that you like and are comfortable is not easy because sometimes when you find a pair you like, the size does not fit. Life is never perfect, so when I find something that is, then I would rather buy different colours of the same style. At least then you will not have to suffer the pain of squeezed feet. I will not pursue the need for unique design because if you follow fashions, they will quickly go out of fashion. I like comfortable high heel styles. In the past, I liked to wear slippers out of convenience, but my friends told me that if you wear slippers outside, you will kick away your luck, so I followed their advice." Maggie has a liking for Rockport shoes because this brand meets her requirements for comfort. In the past, Rockport was seen as a purely male domain, but they do have a large selection of female designs and Maggie has bought many pairs to wear, so she knows the difference and this is a reason behind her fidelity. "I often have to go out on location to film and then go to some promotional event, so to have a pair of shoes that I can wear all day is very important, especially if it is suitable for the more formal occasions, then this is convenient for casual people like me." Maggie's personality is one of going with the flow and she finds that if you just take what comes, you will become happier because it means you gain more from your experiences: "When I lose something, then maybe I will gain even more. This can include love, family and money, so I will not be unhappy if I lose out in love because it will make me cherish even more what I do have." Would she like to start a new relationship? "I have not really wished for it intentionally, espeicially as I am someone who likes surprises. Even without a lover now, I am still very well, but I cannot guarantee that I will find chemistry with someone tomorrow." Maggie has become happier in recent years compared to when she first entered the industry, especially when she met her business partners from the medical and beauty sectors. She has found that her life is very fulfilling and apart from filming, she has also gone back to school to take classes in beauty. This is Maggie's new life. ------------------------------------------------ The black knee high's are nice... |
