I’ve been a fan of Daphne Joy since I first laid on eyes on her the January 2009 issue of Black Men. Following her Twitter only confirmed that she is a kool chick. Daphne took a moment to answer some of my questions.
Follow Daphne Joy on Twitter.
Pictures skanned from Show Black Lingerie 9.
What’s on your iPod?
John Mayer- Edge of Desire, Sade- No Ordinary Love, Jeramiah- Imma Star, Mario, Beyoncé, Cascade- Evacuate the Party..I love R&B, POP, & some hip hop.
What do you like to do for fun?
I have the most fun doing whatever, as long as I’m surrounded by really cool, down-to-earth people. It can vary between going to the movies, going to dinner, or doing really active things like hiking, hitting the gym, etc!
How does Daphne Joy ring in the New Year?
Always with loved ones and good liquor, lol!
One thing that your fans do not know about you?
I’m a very humble, very nice person! It really took me awhile to accept myself being considered pretty or sexy; that’s something you gradually grow into, and still at times I’m unsure!
You’ve described yourself as silly, would you share a story or example?
I’m just a very silly person, once you get to really know me. I don’t hold back on my jokes or picking on you. We can be at the grocery store or mall, and I’ll just start dancing in the middle of the aisle and everyone’s looking at me and my friends crazy. Or I’ll just start talking like an English person or turn up my super Asian accent, that one always gets laughs!
What do your remember most about your childhood in The Pacific Islands?
Laid back baby…no pressures, stress free, good food, love, family, familiarity, and very, very warm. I was young so my memories are just bits and pieces. I know I was definitely the wild child running around with unruly hair, screaming, laughing, and causing ruckus!
You love cooking, if you opened your own restaurant what would be on the menu?
OMG you’re killing me! Well I learned cooking from my mom. We’ve actually discussed opening a restaurant in the past. Her cooking is out of this world, something you just HAVE to try to believe!!! It would definitely be a mixture of Filipino/English food. The menu would definitely consist of tons of stews, chicken, beef, fish. I love food. I can’t pin-point each one, or else I’d write a whole essay.
You’ve done magazines, ad campaigns, hosting, music videos, TV and movies, what has been the most challenging for you? Fun?
The challenging part is always trying to be better at the next gig. The most fun would’ve probably been the TV stuff, only because of your interactions with so many creative and talented people. The photo shoots are definitely just as fun.
What was it like being 18 and being cast on Nick Cannon’s “Wild ‘N Out”?
I was definitely the baby of the group. People were always very nice, but kind of considered me like the little sister. The coolest part about being that young and on the show, was that I was still in high school when we were taping and airing the show, so a lot of my classmates got to see me on television. I was always really proud of it!
You said this may be your last lingerie shoot, where should your fans look for your in 2010?
Hopefully, on the tv screen. Acting and hosting have always been my first loves, and I’m so thankful for all the other doors that opened up for me. You can follow me on twitter “missdaphnejoy“, to see what new adventures I find myself at!
Any last words?
Thank you to everyone who has been supportive and has shown me love! Don’t ever, ever doubt yourself, because your hard work WILL pay off!! I’m sending all my love right back at’cha!!! xoxo

Yay for Daphne!! I love her! She’s so exotic and sexy and cute all at the same time! Pics 1, 2, and 7 are my faves!
She’s cute, but not beautiful to me. What I like more about her then her actual look is her ambition. The market bracket she is in (Asian mixed models/actresses) however imo, she isn’t in the top four. Tomika Skanes, Denyce Lawton, Lashontae Heckard, and Mia Milano all look better. But I wish her the best, and if her ambition is as good as what I read in her interview she might go far.
co-sign
But she aint got nothing on Ajia Nicole!
Wooow, that girl is beautiful.
LOL, you just listed the greatest hits of 2005. Time to update your playbook.
Redz.. wtf??

“I luuuuuuv Daphne not only is she physically striking, she is one of the nicest most down to earth models in the industry. I had the pleasure of meeting her on the Kanye West “Love Lockdown” video shoot. She falls into that Tomika Skanes/Denyce Lawton with the whole half asian thing going on. And she is all natural her chest ain’t store bought I peeped that from the jump lol.”
Yea and your point? I didn’t say anything bad about her then or now. She’s cute, but imo she doesn’t look as good in shots as Tomika or Denyce, but she is in the same bracket. What I’m speaking about in this post is her jump from modeling to acting and I was speaking about her being casted for the same roles up against Tomika/Denyce/Lashontae. I stand by what I said both times she cute and has great ambition. PERIOD!
You don’t see the difference between:
“I luuuuuuv Daphne not only is she physically striking…”
and
“She’s cute, but not beautiful to me.”
Maybe it’s because I’m a chick that I see the difference in those statements. One is over the top appreciation and the other is “but…”
About the roles in television and film.. YES Denyce Lawton has more on her resume, but she’s 31 and she’s been doing her thing since 2002, so of course she’d have more on her resume.
Where Daphne’s only 22..talk to her in 10 years and I’m sure she’ll have done just as much..if not more!
Honestly…No! And I’m trying to care enough to even entertain this, but I can’t. You should start her fan club now if she’s going to be BIG in 10 years.
The rican genes definitely gave her curves. She is one of those models who are all natural unlike Lola Luv and Suelyn who had front & backside enhanced. This gal is just born with both with a cute face to match. She is up there in my book..
She has a nice body and a nice face. She probably wouldn’t stand out, but good nevertheless.({:D)
I didn’t realize how much of a body had til I saw photo 2. Damn! I also like 7 a lot. Good job as always Black.
mad sexy and her personality (from what I perceived in the interview) is refreshing
Really exotic face, she is a beauty.. she may not be as thick as others around here but she looks healthy and toned, toned being the keyword.. perfect proportions all around.
Las opiniones son para quien las recibe, espero que seas tu Daphne Joy, quien lo leea, estas genial, estas buenisima.
Suerte y saludos desde España.
Nice…just not my cup of tea..shes definately sexy!
She was one of my favorite Wild ‘N Out girls. She and that sexy ass Brooke Baily. And Nani Nicole was hot too. What was that show about again?
YEAH wtf redz!!!
don’t try an avoid what cherry’s investigation unearthed.
Redz is confused lol
Hahaha! It’s the truth!
Thanks Black. Like you, I’m a big fan of Daphne Joy. One of the top asian hotties in the game. She a super hottie in my book and I’d definitely love to try something from her. Hope this isn’t her last shoot. Don’t see many asian girls in the urban modeling world.
Real glad you posted her she’s definitly 1 of my favorites although in a good girl around the girl type way! Which there’s nothing wrong with that love the set a lot especially pics 1,3, 6 & 7! She seems like a real cool & down to earth girl not only from the interview but the way she interacts with people through twitter talked to her a few times on there! She was always 1 of my favorite Wild ‘N Out girls to just never really realized it was her at first I guess.
She has a chance to really go far to with the attitude that she has with everything! I seen her a few other spots on TV or somewhere else to before that I think but I can’t remember where! Good luck to here though & hope she still models somewhat if she still can.
She got everything. Nothing at all wrong with her. Her size is perfect. I could see her making the GQ or Vogue transition no problem.
Great body, cute face, we need more Asians so I am happy to see this new post.
With that said she is not as exotic in the face as I prefer but she is still definitely an all around hot chick. I just prefer Korean/Japanese females who typically have stronger Asian facial feautures.
This photo shoot is a definite improvement over the Show East layout which I thought was pretty avg at best. Thanks for mixing it up here BJS.
Love this girl’s body, very athletic. And her face is cute too, when she’s not smiling. Not sure why her supercute features go all tranny-face when the corners of her mouth lift up.
I’ll pass. Never been a fan of hers.
I guess i drank the blue koolaid she is flat as a pancake if she were dark yal would be killing with every other comment………….conditioning
PIC #4 says it all mariah carey ass

Cheap shot. Very cheap shot and completely untrue. Generally I either match the magazine or go a shade darker. I’ve never lightened a single image, period.
The difference between criticism and slander is when the facts don’t back you up.
