Dominican Darling
Denise
Dominiguez
As a student and aspiring high fashion model, Denise Dominguez is a
busy girl.
The 20-year-old Elmhurst resident has her hands full with juggling classes at Queensborough Community College — where she studies psychology — and going to photo shoots. Taking belly dancing classes on weekends also keeps her busy, she told us.
A
graduate of Newtown High School, Denise, who also works at a hair products
supply shop in the Bronx, said modeling is a dream of hers but she also has
other goals.
“I
want to be a high fashion model, but I’m missing an inch.
So I’d like to be a child psychologist.”
Denise,
who was born in the Dominican Republic, has modeled for a magazine and in
fashion shows, and once had her hair colored red and orange for an
appearance.
In her spare time, Denise says she enjoys dancing at Queens clubs, D & A in Astoria, and Bliss in Queensborough Plaza. Recycle
We're
not endorsing or taking credit for this recent email that's circulating on
the net, but we thought we'd share it with you: If
you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be
worth $49.00. With
Enron, you would have $16.50 of the original $1,000.00. With
Worldcom, you would have less than $5.00 left. If
you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser (the beer, not the stock) one
year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the 10 cent
deposit, you would have $214.00. Based
on the above, the current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle. Cute Mailings
When
it comes to the most friendly and cute reminders for the Queens community to
come out to a community board meeting, Community Board 4 wins the prize.
Their mailings — which consist of labels with cutsie half-smiling
staplers, rolodexes, and other colorful objects — add some personality to
the mailings. It
appears to be the only Community Board to “cutify” their mailings. QConf
gives an A+ to Community Board 4 for their effort
and looks forward to collect them all! ‘President’
Sharpton In The Hot Seat
When
former City Councilman, Peter Vallone, Sr. — appearing on local
cable NY1’s “Inside City Hall” — was asked what he thought Al
Sharpton’s chances for a political career were, the former Speaker did
not hesitate to speak his mind. He
told host Dominic Carter that if the Rev. would confess his sins
regarding “the story involving that young girl,” (Tawana Brawley)
his chances would be a lot better. Vallone of course would be referring to
the late ’80s debacle whereby Sharpton and two attorneys, C. Vernon
Mason and Alton Maddox bought and sold the teenaged Brawley’s
tale of rape and other degradations at the hands of a group of white men
including a local prosecutor, in her upstate New York hometown. The
aspiring presidential candidate with the fancy “do” has taken to
criticizing critics who now ask him to “‘splain” his shenanigans with
the question, “Would you ask Ted Kennedy about Chappaquidic?”
Yes,
Rev, they would and did during his 1984 presidential run. It has haunted him
his whole career since then just as Tawana will yours. Wonder
who former upstate prosecutor Steven Pigonas will be voting for in
the Presidential Primary next year? The
Police Pad
POLICE
STEREOTYPING? One friend of a QConf scribe had a minor unpleasant car
encounter in Staten Island. No
one was hurt and the cops from New York's orphan borough really showed their
stuff when they arrived on the scene. But,
we bet you dollars to donuts you couldn't guess what S.I. Cops use for pads.
Asked
by our freind how he could obtain the accident report, the S.I. finest
scribbled his precinct contact number on a napkin of his favorite
establishment (shown).
