| A Little Punkish!
Jazmyn Marie Holston Woodhaven Age: 11 Height: 5’1" Weight: 98 lbs. Camera 2 Studios Woodhaven fashionista Jazmyn Holston doesn’t mind being called “girlish,” or “a little punkish.” In fact, that’s the style she most loves wearing. That is, when she’s not in her Catholic school uniform. How does a punk dress? Holston said get your feet into “those long shoes, Converse,” and don’t forget to add “those sporty pants with sporty top.” And the hair? “Wild, all over the place and add some jewelry hard rock.” For the not so punk look, which Holston said she goes for half the time, she recommends “a cute sunny day dress with nice flip flops and heels.” Tame the main in “a pony tail and cute earrings.” Her favorite outfit, Holston said, is her shirt that says, “ ‘It’s not an attitude problem, it’s the way I am’, with caprice jeans and sneakers and two ponytails.” But the 11-year-old little diva has her eyes and career set beyond the runway and modeling shoots. She plays piano, signed up for a second round of guitar lessons, and has been singing to family and friends for years. She loves music so much, “sometimes before I go to bed I sing to myself,” she said. Helping this model and honor-roll student stay on top of her busy schedule is her mother, Monique Holston. “I’m putting my investment into my children. In today’s economy, any form of financial investment gets a low return,” she said. “When you invest in your children, “That’s a lifetime of investment.” And there’s one other benefit, she said. “I had my kids when I was young,” said the 30-year-old mom, a former model that said she may come out of retirement. “They’ll keep me young a lot longer than any of these beauty products on the market.” |

| With All Deliberate Speed
Award-winning singer and Forest Hills resident Alicia Keys is more than just her music.
Keys participated in a movie called “With All Deliberate Speed” which focuses on the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court case and provides insight into the legacy of integrating public schools. The movie featured contrasting archival footage and photographs, with contemporary interviews of key movement leaders and surviving members of the families involved with the case, along with interviews with teenagers today on the case itself. In the movie, Keys read from speeches and letters from the 50-year-old historic case. Sadly, the limited engagement movie, which was released on May 17, initially seems to have come and gone without attracting much attention. Watch for the DVD version. |

| Crystal Window On Queens Business
Wanna-be apprentices to America’s most famous millionaire can get an earful of good advice from a College Point-based businessman.
In Donald Trump’s “The Way To The Top: The Best Business Advice I Ever Received,” he features some words of wisdom from Crystal Window & Door Systems President and Founder Thomas Chen. Chen’s 2 ˝ page section is entitled “Remember Your Roots.” That’s even good advice for Trump, who was born in Jamaica Estates, and has gone on to become one of the country’s most recognizable faces in the business world. Currently he is staring in the second episode of the reality show, “The Apprentice.” Perhaps Chen’s advice can help one of the show’s contestant avoid Trump’s trademark line, “You’re fired!” |

| GOP's Last Tango In Queens
Overlooked amid the tumult and chaos of the Republican National Convention held in Manhattan was the spectacular failure of the only GOP-sanctioned Queens event.
Republican delegates received a lot of attention during their week in the Big Apple, both from the hundreds of thousands of demonstrators and convention organizers and assorted sympathizers, who put together scores of parties and entertainments around the city for the five thousand visiting delegates. From Broadway musicals to shopping excursions, the delegates had their pick of all the best in New York City. The only event in Queens, a guided tour of the Queens Museum of Art and historic Flushing Meadows-Corona Park—the home of two World’s Fairs—didn’t draw much a crowd. In fact, the event drew no crowd at all. Not a single Republican availed themselves of the free bus trip to the heart of Queens. A buffet of South Asian delicacies went to waste, as did the preparation of ten tango dancers from P.S. 144 in Forest Hills, who were set to perform for the expected 50 delegates. “I was pretty excited to see the delegates for the Republican Party, because I could see someone who actually had a sort of power and was really special and important to our country,” one of the student dancers, 11-year-old Matthew, told the New York Times. “We were going to give a show for them, so I was surprised that they weren’t here.” With the unexpected no-show at the Queens Museum, Republicans lost their chance to explore the vast diversity of the borough. The Democrats, on the other hand, seemed to gain the allegiance of ten fifth grade tango dancers. |
