relegated to the appendices.


The Questions
-------------

Q: Who is she?

Jo Guest is the type of British model known as the "glamour girl",
a group generally best known for their topless work in Britain's 
tabloid newspapers, appearances at pubs/various events, singing 
aspirations, and being caught out on the town canoodling with 
married footballers, politicians, ambassadors, and each other.

Jo herself however has a more universal appeal, and a more 
professional approach.  Her agent (Samantha Bond - herself an 
ex-glamour girl and I think she played Ms. Moneypenny in the movie
'Goldeneye') has stated in a Loaded interview that Jo was unusual 
amongst glamour models as being able to work the whole range from 
fully clothed fashion to the posed-with-men type pix because 
"everyone wants her" [understatement of the year... ;) ] for their
modelling assignments. 

She is in the top bracket of the glamour girls; god alone knows 
what her hourly modelling rate is.  

She has recently become famous[1] for her regular Mens World (in 
the UK) and Picture (in Australia) appearances.  Recently, Loaded 
magazine has claimed to have discovered her as being the *next big
thing*.  But then what do they know; the way they make predictions
we'll be seeing Big Fat Ron nekkid (and not Jo...) in their pages 
come the end of the English football season.

And last but not least; Jo holds a private investigators license, 
which is quite strange as you'd think her more likely to be 'the 
other woman' herself, rather than the one who catches others in 
such illicit liaisons...   ;)

[1] The phrase "much lusted after" may be substituted for "famous".


Q: Where can she be found?

London.  Oh, sorry - Jo has made magazine appearances in: Mayfair, 
Loaded, Picture, (Australian) People, Men Only, Club International, 
Mens World, Playboy, Hustler and Penthouse, just to name a few.  
For the (more or less) complete listing hunt down and devour the 
file compiled by Armin Forker. [see the URL's below]

She has appeared on UK TV Breakfast shows, "Shooting Stars" - a 
British gameshow (where she apparently wowed them all with a 
boiling potato impression? - photos required please <g>), and has 
pranced around on a music video entitled "Country House" while 
dressed as a nurse - this co-starred some yobs called 'Blur' or 
something.  She has also completely lost her head at the odd live 
magic show .....

A video was recently made featuring her; a sort of 'a day in the 
life of a page 3 girl' type expose in the Fiesta Model Profile 
series - the blurb reads: 

"Get to know bubbly Jo Guest as she takes you behind the scenes of
the glamour modelling game.  Meeting model agents, preparing for a
shoot, and posing for the camera are all in a days work for 
Britain's best-known model." A review, written by Maxwell Smut, is
included in this FAQ's appendix.  

A Jo Guest CD 'game' was released from Interactive Girls - this is 
the so called "Milk Round" game.  It's very disappointing; pix of 
Jo hidden behind an extremely boring front-end 'game' where you 
search, seemingly endlessly, for her address.  The pix are of a 
disgustingly low resolution (nobody has even bothered capturing 
and posting them....) and badly animated to boot.  If you're that 
desperate for Jo it can be ordered from any of the thousands of 
Adult CD shopping sites on the WWW.  

She appears on numerous picture collection type CD's as well, check 
out the "Page3 Interactive" site for a typical example.


Q: I hear there are some pix of her available online?

In total there are about 1500+ images of Ms. Guest currently 
floating around the internet (mainly jpegs) - a lot get regularly 
(re)posted to the various a.b.p.e newsgroups.  Especially notable 
is Maxwell Smut's "Jo Guest Jamborees" flood of the a.b.p.e.blondes
group; thrice-yearly posted and taking 16 days to complete (he 
rests on the 17th day...), they constitute his attempt to crush 
usenet under the weight of all her pix.  It gets very few 
complaints.  :)

TIP 1 (cheap option): If your newserver doesn't get the a.b.p.e 
    groups then use the Alta Vista search engine to look for;
    ' "jo guest" or "joanne guest" ' on usenet (type all within 
    the single quotes) - it'll return all the usenet articles 
    containing her name - including the ones with attached pics.  
    Right mouse click on the message subject and save the link 
    as a .uue file and decode it manually.  Then joogle away.  
    This has to be done within a day (or two if lucky) of the 
    pix being posted or they disappear off AV's server.

TIP 2: [from Maxwell Smut] Anyone, anywhere can subscribe to 
    an offshore News Server like Super Zippo for US$39.95 for 
    6 months with every News Group and almost all the posts.  
    The URL is: <out-of-date URL removed>

The next major source for her pictures is the websites listed 
below.  They include a few weekly sites, a monthly site and other 
'complete' archive types.  A good selection of pix may be acquired 
from them all.

E-mail is also a good source; a lot of trading of her pix is going 
on.  A simple request can often have the result of a mountain of 
index files and a small but polite "Have you any new pix???" 
message being e-mailed you.

'Emails stating "Send me *all* your Jo Guest pics!!" will be 
summarily deleted by even the most reasonable Jo fan.  Polite, 
realistic (in terms of file numbers) requests work best.' 
    - Another Helpful hint from Maxwell Smut.

NB: There are no known fake nudes of Ms Guest[2]... - but only the 
members of the JO.G.G.IN.G 'Inner Pentangle' know the secret signs 
by which the reversed pics can be identified.   ;)

[2] But there is a fake oral sex pic; it is entitled "jogu0201.jpg" 
and was posted to a.b.e.p.blondes in February, showing Jo and the 
male model in a lot closer contact than normal....  The pic it was 
adapted from is jog0160.jpg from the 'Cafe Lust' series - check 
them out side by side, it's really quite well done.


Q: Where's all her hard-core stuff at then!!???!!!

We haven't found any such pix online yet so it's very probable that 
they don't exist off the net either.  If they did exist you'd have 
to expect that some of them would have been found, scanned and 
posted by now.  

The majority of models who do hard-core find it difficult to find 
regular modelling work again due to the stigma attached - you're 
always known forever after as only a porn star. So even Jo with her 
seemingly infinite flexibility (in both physical [see the pix!] and 
career terms) couldn't manage it, and probably wouldn't, given that 
her star[3] is currently on the rise.

Please note: the oral sex fake mentioned above is fairly obvious so 
it doesn't really count.

[3] Her star-sign being either Pisces or Pernod.....


Q: What's with all these different pics all having the same 
   filename?

This is a problem.  On the majority of the sites listed below the 
pix have usually all been renamed to the ubiquitous "jo1.jpg", and 
so on, from their equally original filenames.  This can get 
annoying when trading Jo's images with others, so to this end the 
following solution has been offered by Armin Forker (but anything 
close should do):

                         Issue No.(1-9,a-d)
                                 |
        Source Magazine code     |   No. of scans
                            \    |  /
                             --  - -      
Filename -->                 aayyi#?s.jpg 
                               -- - -
                              /   |  \
             Year or Volume no.   |   Scanner's ID (eg. X=Xanlithe)
                                  |
                     No. of pic in series (1-9,a-z)

Best of's: ??B##*.*
(for example: Best of Mayfair 14: mfb14*.*)

This might sound a little silly at first, but just wait till you 
have over a thousand or more pix of her taking up humongous amounts
of space on _your_ disk drives.... ("Which one of the five 
jo27.jpg's were you wanting again???")  Another good reason is for 
all you scanner-freaks out there, it'll give you an idea if a 
particular series has already been done or not.


Q: What's the deal with Jo and Loaded?

Well, basically Jo sells their magazine for them - they feature her 
constantly.  Specifically they are running a competition involving 
the results of one of the English Premier Leagues annually 
struggling clubs, Coventry City.  Ron Atkinson is the manager of 
Cov [or rather *was*, he was given the boot late 1996 - Loaded up 
to date as usual] so Loaded decided they'd have some fun at his 
expense.  The deal went like this; for every game Cov lost, they're 
featuring pix of Jo taking her gear off in the magazine, but 
(here's the catch) if Coventry won it would be Big Fat Ron 
stripping instead.  This is quite an incentive. 

They also made it a challenge to all Cov's Premier League opponents 
to do their best to beat them.  The situation is looking quite good 
except that Cov are starting to win a few under their new manager..
....   :P


Q: How did she get involved in nude modelling?

You'd best read her FHM interview - she describes her first 
modelling assignments there herself.  She started out with the 
local amateur photographers, then went through topless work to 
eventually end up doing full nudes. I believe her first published 
magazine appearance would be for Mayfair, Volume 27 Issue 7 (1992).


Q: Where can I find these interviews you're quoting so prolifically
   from?

Jo has featured now in several UK publications.  The FHM interview 
is still available at their site (URL below) and the X-Gen one has 
been pirated by the "Games Animal", an online computer gaming site, 
and re-edited to make it look as though they asked her the 
questions.  [Evidence she's becoming big news in the UK - you must 
lie cheat and steal to get an interview with her.]  She has also 
featured in several News of the World (NOTW) articles which seem to
concentrate more on her love life (see next Question).

A new magazine has come out in the UK called "XNet" (focusing on 
the adult side of the internet), on it the cover CD contains a 25MB
avi file featuring an interview and scenes of Jo at work.

Jo also appeared on the cover of the January (1996) Loaded under 
the banner "The Shape of Things to Come."  I presume there's an 
article inside - can someone get busy with a scanner and OCR 
software here?   :)

And finally, some of Maxwell Smut's jog series jpegs contain 
readable articles from the Australian Picture and People magazines 
as well.


Q: Amazing!  She's still single - how can this be!

From the FHM interview: "In fact, she's only had one sexual 
relationship in the last three years, and that was a short-lived 
liaison with Phil Babb, the Liverpool stopper...", but he dumped 
her because apparently, she was wearing him out...  this comes from 
a 'News of the World' article, so we know it's *all* true.  It was 
entitled "My Extra-Time Loving Ruined Phil's Ball Control."  Truly 
a tabloid amongst tabloids...  ;P

I haven't included this just to start a Phil Babb Hate Group. 
<teehee>  This article has been scanned in by (yet again) Mr Smut 
as two jpegs labelled jonews1 and jonews2.  Nobody has yet mustered
the energy to type or scan it as a text file.

Again from her FHM interview Jo said she prefers skinny, dark 
haired men who are "intelligent and not boring".  The vast majority 
of us hope, of course, that this is just a ruse.   >;D


Q: Has Jo got a fan club?

One is in the process of forming.  See Tweet's site for more 
information or e-mail him at <email address deleted> if you can 
help.


Q: Is there a mailing list or newsgroup?

I am running (on a trial basis only) an irregularly posted 
newsletter (the JOGGING list) for disseminating news about our fav 
glamour babe.  There are only two conditions; NO binaries and _no 
bloody poetry!_[4]

E-Mail me (Snarkamedes <email address deleted>) if you wish to
have your e-mail address added to the list.  Please be assured that
it won't be passed on to spam artists or suchlike as I loath them 
more than sad, lousy, PC poetry.

A charter is being currently written for a Jo Guest newsgroup (to 
be called alt.binaries.pictures.joanne-guest). There was mention 
for the proposal of an alt.fan.page3 some time ago but that 
unfortunately appears to have disappeared without trace.

[4] I am well aware that there are lots of words that rhyme with 
both 'Jo' and 'Guest' and I'm damn sure we don't need to see them 
neatly laid out in iambic pentameter.  ;)


Q: Are there any sites devoted, nay, yet, dedicated to her?

Despite FHM claiming there are very few locations featuring Jo, 
(from their Top 100 babes survey) Our Lady of the Eternal Boiling 
Potatoes Impression may be found at the following sites....

[** Please note that none of these are paysites (although William 
Cooper's does expect you to pay for the full-sized images; which 
is only fair as he's a pro photographer).]

APPENDIX 1: The Fiesta Model's Profile Video (review by Max Smut).

~~~~~
Review of the "Fiesta Model Profile - Joanne Guest" video

I am sure you will all be quite envious that I have finally 
received my copy of the above video from the UK. So I thought I'd 
do a review just to rub it in!

As a dedicated Jo fan I found this tape sensational. It seems to 
date from early 1995 so Jo was probably only just coming into her 
great popularity.

The opening scenes are of Jo in the studio posing while a 
reasonable soundtrack plays. Some of the poses here and in other 
parts of the video are clearly recognisable as shoots that have 
been scanned and put on the Net.

The second section of the video is an extended interview with Jo. 
You never see the (male) interviewer. The questions go through her 
background, likes and dislikes, hobbies and modelling career. She 
rattles off an impressive list of countries in which she has 
worked. In one of her replies she confirms her birth data as in 
Snark's FAQ (thank god for that eh Snark?). Maybe someone could 
transcribe the interview but I'm not volunteering at this stage.

In this section Jo is fairly rigid on the couch (as was I! Oh dear,
did I say that? ;-) ). She was pretty serious in answering the
questions but regularly lightened the proceedings with a fantastic
1000 watt smile if she lost it making an answer.

Next part sees Jo get a lot more relaxed talking about something 
she is familiar with and accustomed to discussing - her model
Portfolio! This was a mix of fashion and nude photos and Jo 
engagingly discussed each one. She seemed to be a little fixated on
hair, lips and appearances (hers that is) but I suppose that is 
just shop-talk for a model. The discussion was filmed from an angle
above Jo's shoulder looking down at the Portfolio in her lap. More 
than once I had trouble focussing on the Portfolio pictures as Jo's
dress slipped down revealing her right nipple!

Then it was on to location shooting with some poncy photographer -
interesting but a bit labourious. I could see from this section why 
Jo stated earlier that during a shoot she likes to feel "sexy" but 
has never got "turned on" - it's too much bloody hard work and in 
one session she's up very early to catch the morning light and 
sitting down, sans knickers, on a cold marble bench.

And so it ends. "Awwwww...." I hear you say!

My rating of the video: 10 out of 10 - a must for a Jo fan. Plenty 
of nude Jo (though no detailed close-ups) and quite a bit of 
background on the lady.
