Maggie's Final Thoughts on the Business , the Future
and Being a Role Model for Young Women... |
LOL: Is there anything that you would change about the business if you
could?
MR: Overall, the business has more benefits than drawbacks, but there are
a few things. There should be more strict rule about the age of girls who work
and strict chaperoning. It's unfortunate that they let a 13, 14 year old in
here and then the agents don't keep track of them. In NY state you're not
allowed to work until you're 16. I wish the agencies would enforce the fact
that you need to get your high school diploma more. A 9-5 mon-fri. work week
would be nice, but that's never going to happen! LOL: What's the most
difficult thing about your job? The travel? Being away from your family,
friends, boyfriend?
MR: The hardest part about modeling for me is not feeling grounded, I
don't have a set schedule, I'm always running around and never know where I'm
going to be next.
LOL:: Are you interested enough in fashion to want to eventually become a
designer, for instance?
MR: It would be amazing to be an editor, but that's not going to happen,
because after I finish with modeling I'll move to the country and buy a house
with a lot of land.
LOL: As a role model for younger women (and a top model), do you feel that
you have a responsibility to speak-out against issues that affect young women?
(Like Christy Turlington whose father died from lung cancer. Christy makes
herself available for anti-smoking causes). Is this important or not?
MR: I haven't done anything - yet. I want to do something for a cause, my
father died of Aids. I'm actually in the process of looking to have a fundraiser
of some sort. It's important to use your position to do some good and help
others. I want to do something to help young girls become aware of bad
influences like drugs, etc. Thank you, Maggie for making the time to
speak with us.
