Hi everyone in Geek-land. My name is Maggie. Maggie Franklin. I am a 38-year-old woman living and working in Visalia California. I have been doing nails full time since becoming licensed in October of 1992.
I am an active member of the nailtech mailing list at Beautytech.com and a regular visitor to the message boards also at Beautytech.com.
My name and image have appeared numerous times in both Nails and Nailpro magazines, and I have just recently been asked to keep a blog for Nails Magazine online. (
Maggie Rants [and Raves] : a Nails Magazine's Blog)
I have two websites:
Maggie and
Maggie and Mom (which remains a work in progress) Although "artofnailz" dot anything AND "nailsbymaggie" dot anything will take you to the same site. (a girl can never own too many URLs.)
I am a volunteer expert on the subject of nails at allexperts.com.
I also have a Myspace page at
MySpace.com - Art of Nailz by Maggie - 38 - Female - VISALIA, California - www.myspace.com/nailsbymaggie
I received a message via my Myspace profile yesterday that my photos had shown up here being claimed by someone who isn't me. For which I'm quite grateful.
I've lurked around the Geek forums on and off for a long time, but I can only keep up with so many sites and Beautytech got me first.
It absolutely pains me that my first post here had to be in response to blatant plagerism of my work. It is also quite sad that my introduction to so many of you will forever be tainted by this issue.
I'm not used to the Geek site... still trying to figure out how it all works, but I am trying to work with the moderator to see how to resolve the issue.
As for Jam806: Your name may be Maggie. I don't know. But having the same name does not make you the same person. Don't ever get confused on that. I don't know why you would want to assume my identitiy, but as long as you're at it, would you like to take my credit score too? Cuz I sure as hell could use a better one.
