| A Certain Feeling
Kara Lynn
Home: Flushing Age: 23 Height: 5’ 9"’ Weight: 125 lbs Stats: 34-24-36 Sailor Moon photo Kara Lynn is a relative newcomer to modeling. With the exception of one gig in 2002, she really has only been at it for about four months now. Originally from Maine, Kara always wanted to be a model. “I put my name and pictures out there, and have had the pleasure of working with a lot of photographers who’ve helped me build my portfolio,” she said, giving special thanks to Sailor Moon Photography. Most of the work she has done so far has been helping photographers build their portfolios, but she has also been featured in a coffee table book, on banner ads for some companies and done some magazine and web work. And with just this taste of the business, Kara is looking a future on the fashion runways – quite a departure from her current day job as a director of a day care program who occasionally volunteers at an animal shelter. She is also looking to go to college next year. Her favorite places to hang out in Queens are in the clothing stores. “I could browse around for hours,” she said. Most particularly, though, she loves the feel of the borough. “As soon as you drive into Queens it has a certain feeling,” she said. “The people are always busy, going here or there, and the clothing styles are so unique.” When not hard at work or in front of the lens Kara can be found jogging, shopping, writing, hanging out with her friends at local pubs and taverns, and making care packages for her boyfriend in Iraq. |

| Royal Retires
Astoria native and six-time WNBA All-Star Chamique Holdsclaw abruptly retired recently, giving no reason for hanging it up.
Holdsclaw, 29, a graduate of Christ the King Regional High School in Middle Village, was a four-time Kodak All-America at the University of Tennessee and led the Lady Volunteers to three consecutive NCAA titles in 1996, 1997 and 1998. In 2006 she was named one of the 25 greatest women’s collegiate basketball players of the last 25 years. She was drafted first overall in the 1999 WNBA Draft by the Washington Mystics and subsequently won the Rookie of the Year award. She helped the U.S. Women’s Basketball Team win a gold medal at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia. Qconf3.jpg - Chamique Holdsclaw With Friends Like These While Queens may wish we could lay claim to Jennifer Aniston, we can be happy to have a tenuous connection thanks to a lucrative deal the superstar recently inked. Glaceau, the Whitestone-based beverage company recently purchased by Coca-Cola, just signed with everybody’s favorite “Friend,” who will help promote the company with her own smartwater label. Now the beverage maker and the Jen have something in common – they’re both light on the hips, all natural and tasty. Drink up! |

Often when English words are translated into a foreign language and then back into English, the result can be a bit humorous. As a matter of fact, an entire Web site, engrish.com, focuses on just those sorts of errors.
This one caught the eye of one of our diligent QConf contributors, who wonders just what people are supposed to be jealous of – and what the original phrase might have been. If you can figure out what the real phrase was, you’ll make us green with envy. |

| Cricket?
Move over baseball. Soccer? Please, take a back seat. The new sport infiltrating Queens has been a Caribbean, European and Southeast Asian sensation, since, well, the original British invasion.
Cricket, with its wickets, overs and week-long games is making its name known in the United States and putting a stamp on Ozone Park. According to Dupal Singh, owner of Singh Sports, Queens has the most cricket clubs in the United States. Singh Sports is the largest cricket equipment shop in the country, located on 101st Avenue. Now if only we our borough’s baseball team would turn it back around to lead in its sport… |
