MagiBon

Magibon (マギボン), or Maggie was born in America (West Palm Beach, Florida to be exact) on the ninth of August in 1986 (she’s the same age as me!).

Maggie, or Magibon, made her fame as a YouTube personality in July 2006. It is said that she just posted one test video on YouTube which had her doing nothing but looking into the camera; people seemed to like this and asked her for more – And so her “nothingness” series was born.

Magibon has over 150 000 subscribers as well as over 1 Million views on her YouTube channel. Her fame has pretty much died down but I still think it’s astonishing what a simple YouTube video can do.

Magi was endorsed by YouTube, and was flown to Japan to meet her idol Mari Yaguchi, she was invited to the 21^st Tokyo International Film Festival and attended the world premier of Blue Symphony as she was a voice actor for a part in the movie.

a silly picture i drew of Magibon ( I made her an elf because i think she looks like a blood elf :P)

I have to give it to this girl, her Japanese isn’t bad; her pronunciation seems pretty spot on, and her sentences although short seem to be correct (not that I can judge at all, she speaks more Japanese than I can).

Magi states that she taught herself Japanese by watching Japanese dramas and listening to Japanese music.

There are some controversey’s regarding Magi but I’m not going to get into them here, let us just leave this post as “short and sweet” – like Magi! Hehe.

PAULA TAYLOR AT A GLANCE

Paula has always been on the go. Shortly after her birth in Thailand, she and her parents moved to Perth, Australia, where she grew up. For many years, from the time she was a young girl, she helped her mother in the family restaurant almost every day, earning some allowance by scrubbing tables and doing other menial tasks. While holidaying in Bangkok, when twelve years old, her normal life started to change, when she was spotted by a modeling agency and asked if she would be interested in doing some modeling. After much deliberation and advice, she accepted the offer.

Thereafter, she often flew to Bangkok, during her school breaks in Australia, to make commercials, music videos and undertake modeling were she considered it as her summer job back then. And as soon as she finished high school, she was finally able to concentrate full time on her assignments, often staying in countries like Hong Kong, Singapore and The Philippines, in order to undertake more serious projects.

In 2001, after finally settling in Bangkok, she became entrenched in the world of movies, TV dramas, hosting and fashion events. From an unknown to being a starlet, Paula finally achieved local recognition when she starred in a Thai romantic-comedy film, Sexphone and The Lonely Wave, in 2003.

After years of working non-stop in the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry, she became one of the most recognizable faces in Thailand, an accomplished VJ for Channel [V], a presenter for renowned brands like Lays and Canon, not to mention that she has graced the covers of almost all the Thailand’s top fashion magazines.

Now, after having her comfort zone in Thailand, as expected, Paula keeps on moving to find new challenges. She is finally able to continue working abroad, being active in fashion scenes and other related projects around Asia.
