Ack...talk about cutting it close!

Here's an update BEFORE Chinese New Year 2007!
Well, at least where I am. *Tee Hee*

Oh...before I get to that...here's a couple of Joey videos from Chinese New Year 1991!

Chinese New Year 1991 - Video 1 / Chinese New Year 1991 - Video 2

Sorry for the poor quality, but they were created over 10 years ago. *SIGH* Has it been that long. *SNICKER*

Site update...

Joey Stuff - added a page to Joey Stuff with various non-movie clips.

Magazines - added pics from Sisters 372 Pictorial to Sisters Pictorial.

Wow...it's been over a year since my last update!

My apologies for the lack of updates, but there really isn't much new on the Joey front, but I do have some things that I'll try my best to have on this site before Chinese New Year...YES...Chinese New Year 2007! <GRIN>

In the meantime, here's something that I think will make up for the lack of updates...

Now, I'm a generally humble person, but I really think this post deserves a standing ovation and several hearty pats on the back. <BLUSH>

Before A Chinese Ghost Story. Before Let's Make Laugh II. Before Working Class...there was The Commercial...

Reports vary, some sources say Mona Fong of Shaw Brothers first noticed Joey in a 1984 commercial and other sources state she was 'discovered' in a 1981 commercial and was subsequently cast (as a young teen) in It Will be Cold By The Lakeside This Year. This commercial is from 1984 and is definitely the earliest Joey appearance that I've been able to find.

Okay, okay...you couldn't care less about my ramblings...so here it is...The Commercial :-)

Sorry for the large size ~19 megs. But as always, I can't bear to compromise Joey's beauty in any way.

A bit of info about the commerical. This is from a news segment from The Chinese Channel. If anyone could translate what's being said, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm really guessing here, but it seems the segment is about commerical archives focusing on the early careers of starlets. I have the entire segment that I could make available if anyone would be kind enough to translate what the story is really about.

A bit of trivia...

Now this may make you question how humble I really am, but I think it's absolutely remarkable that I managed to come across this video. In the 16 years that I've been a Joey fan, I've learned the importance and rewards of patience.

In this case, here's the breakdown. For the past two years, I've been subscribing to and recording The Chinese Chinese Channel almost continuously, 24/7 (hope my cable provider doesn't read this since I'm using their DVR *giggle*). Anyway, almost every day I scan through what I've recorded to see if there's any Joey news. I estimate I scan through 16 hours of video per day (dismissing series and other shows that I know Joey won't appear in). Multiply that by 60 minutes x 365 days x 2 years and that's ~700,000 minutes of video that I've scanned through. My DVR scans at ~30x normal speed, which means that in this one video segment, I had ~1 second to notice Joey's beauty! *PHEW*
Actually, the irony is that while I did notice that a cutie briefly flashed before my eyes, I thought it was someone who only looked like Joey and it took a couple of viewings to convince myself of the goldmine I hit upon!

So there it is...patience, diligence..obesssion??? *SIGH* No matter, I'm just happy that I was able to find this video and even happier that I'm able to share it with you...my fellow Joey fans. I hope that you enjoy it and continue to support and remember that this site and all that I go through is for you and more importantly...FOR-JOEY!

He Lives! :-)

Hee hee... so sorry for the lack of updates. This silly little thing called 'real-lfe' keeps intruding on me. *SIGH*

Actually, part of the reason I haven't done an update in such a long time is that there hasn't been much news about Joey lately, and what has been available hasn't been very positive.

But, I've actually gotten around to doing an update and I've got lots of new stuff that I hope you'll enjoy. I still have more stuff and while I can't promise when this site will be updated next, I will try to make it much, much sooner than this update took.

Thank you for visiting this site and more importantly...supporting Joey by remembering and appreciating her beauty and talent.

Joey News...

The latest news is that on September 18, 2005, she formally announced her retirement. Beautiful Shanghai now known as Shanghai Story has finally been released to theatres, but Joey didn't appear at the press conference. So it seems that she may actually remain in retreat this time. More about this news is here.

Site updates...

Clippings - added new color and b/w clippings
Magazines - added pics to Cinemart, City Entertainment, Sisters Pictorial, Misc.
Books - added two Hong Kong stars books

My Thoughts and Open Letters to Joey:

Here are a couple of Open Letters to Joey that I'd like to share with you, my fellow Joey fans.

Contact me...

I've moved this site to a new server and finally got my email working. If you'd like to contact me, my email address is darin@for-joey.com. I'm currently working on the links and everything should be fixed by this weekend.

While this server move affords me much more bandwidth, I ask that you don't hotlink directly to this site. I had to remove the pictures in the past and will do so again if I find someone stealing my bandwidth. You're welcome to download and post the pics on your site, but please credit this site as the source
