| Bernay: A Love Of Bright Lights & Quiet
Bernay Morgan
Home: Long Island City Age: 23 Height: 5’ 8„ Weight: 128 lbs Stats: 36-26-36 Though Bernay will freely admit that her name is not really her first – but rather her middle name, she prefers to keep her true first name a secret. “That’s so I can decipher who really knows me and who is just acting like they do,” this LIC beauty said. Bernay has been modeling for about two years now, and most recently took part in an eight-page spread in Long Island Pulse showing from The Corset Factory. Before that she’s been seen in plenty of work, including three issues of Braids & Beauty magazine. “I just started putting my face on some modeling Web sites and things are starting to fall into place,” she said. “I’m still working on my portfolio in hopes of getting with an agency because this is something that I really want to do. I know I’m not the tallest or the slimmest, but I know how to work with what I have and I plan on making this a full-time thing; I plan on making this a lifestyle.” While not in front of the camera Bernay keeps busy. She works part-time for H&M in Manhattan, attends LaGuardia Community College, where she is seeking a degree in Creative Writing and has written some pieces for Avenue Report, a men’s magazine. Other than that, she doesn’t do too much else. “I am very much a homebody, so I don’t hang out much at all,” she said. “If I do, it’s with friends I haven’t seen in a long time and we usually go to the City. Bright lights, you know. We’re like moths to the flame.” But that doesn’t take away from her feelings about her home borough. “I like... no, I love Queens because it’s a good place to live,” she said. “There’s so much here that people don’t realize. You can do the same things here that you can do in Manhattan, the only difference is that there’s space for you to breathe. It doesn’t take you a million years to walk down the block unless you want it to. People aren’t in such a rush. And it’s quiet. I love quiet.” We’d be happy to join you on that quiet walk down the street. |

| Cab & Cat Lady's Final Ride
Former Queens resident Betty Matas (above with cab driver, cats and husband) beginning her famous cab trip from Queens to Arizona four months ago, died. She was 75.
Matas, who suffered from heart and kidney problems, became ill and was hospitalized for two weeks before she died. Matas and her husband, Bob Matas, were lifelong New Yorkers who never learned to drive, so they hired a cab to chauffer them 2,500 miles to Arizona for $3,000. They had planned to retire there together. The event made media headlines. “She was very happy that we came out here,” Mr. Matas told the Daily News. |

| Rock Steady
Hip-hop may have been set out in Cedar Park in the Bronx, but Queens has produced more than its fair share of MC, DJ, B-boy and graffiti legends.
This was evident at the legendary Rock Steady Crew’s 30th Anniversary celebration. Among the many Q-boro representatives were Rego Park’s DJ Eclipse, official Rock Steady DJ JS-1 of College Point and Jackson Heights’ scratch magician DJ Rob Swift. The beat goes on. |

| Royal Highness
Queensites: When the chips are down and life has you stressed out, rest assured that Converse is saying a little prayer for us.
For its fall campaign, one of the world’s most popular and reliable shoe companies is asking God to keep the greatest borough in the history of human civilization in mind. On bus shelters throughout the City, you can catch a leggy model, her back to the world, wearing a jacket with the invocation “God Save Queens, NY” emblazoned on it. So, cheers to Converse – and God, of course – for recognizing the need to preserve the finer things in this world. |
