Max magazine wrote after an interview:
Joey always talks about destiny. We cannot tell you if it's right or wrong but we can tell you about a story. In 1994 in Los Angeles there was a very young beautiful girl, a blonde totally unknown girl. Her name was Jaime Pressly. The talent manager of Jamie in those years was Mr Paul St.John, the man who became during the last 10 years one of the greatest friends of Joey Shaw.
Jaime is definitely one of the best actressess in the world now and Joey is the new legend of the fashion photography and we can bet on him for the movie directions too.
Joey usually say: "nobody knows how it's possible, but every talent, male or female, kid or teen ager, discovered by Mr Paul St.John has become a star, many times a big star".
You don't have to believe in the destiny to read something special in this story.
Maybe it was just one more lucky side of the story...
