(Demi Moore) “Some things are not for sale.”
(Robert Redford) “Such as?”
(Demi Moore) “Well, you can’t buy people.”
— From the movie Indecent Proposal
It appears that even at 43, former Viva Hot Babes member Maui Taylor still has that “animal” appeal to solicit “indecent proposals,” despite having left her sexy image years back and finally getting married to non-showbiz husband and longtime partner Anton Sabarre.
In a television interview, the actress admitted about the “proposals,” which, Maui said, still prevail despite having quit being a sex symbol and already having two children.
Born Maureen Anne Tupaz Fainsan, I actually met her when she was chosen as the cover feature for Women’s Journal (WJ) magazine of the then-sequestered Philippine Journalists Incorporated (PJI).
I had been assigned by PJI management to Women’s Journal and was given by the magazine’s editor-in-chief, Marita “Tamaritz” Pascual Nuque, the task of writing the cover story for each weekly issue, as well as other articles.
Maui was only 18 then, but she was already very popular because of her mixed British-Filipina beauty and her awesome figure. At that time, she was daring with a bit of shyness but altogether truly captivating.
But going back to the proposals offered to her, she says that until now many men have tried to gain her attention.
“Madami ka talagang mami-meet na they just want to get in your pants. Hanggang ngayon ang dami, e!” the actress enthused.
This is actually not an uncommon experience among many local celebrities.
VMX (formerly Vivamax) star Astrid Lee had reportedly received “indecent” proposals from some politicians, while former Eat Bulaga! babe Herlene Budol was allegedly offered ₱150,000 by a certain “governor” for a one-night stand.
So we ask: Did they accept the offer?
