Dorothy Czudziak
Home: Ozone Park Age: 27 Height: 5’3" Weight: 105 lbs. Stats: 34-25-34 Model Of Queens, May 17, 2001 www.onemodelplace.com www.HicksPhotograhy.com It’s been quite a successful journey for Dorothy since May 17, 2001, when she became the first model featured as a QConf Model of Queens. Five years later, Dorothy has done hundreds of photo shoots and some of her accomplishments include being featured on Playboy.com, FHM, VH1’s 100 Hottest Hotties and many more. Her success began to grow while attending Queens College, where she was sociology major and a member of the Delta Phi Epsilon sorority. Dorothy said she once worked two jobs, one as a cashier at a car wash and another as a restaurant hostess, but modeling soon became her passion and the money that started coming in surely helped. Going from $7-an-hour part-time jobs, soon turned into photo shoots that paid between $150 and $200 and hour, she said. How she was able to excel, she said, was because she decided early on to work on her own without the help of an agency. Difficult at first, considering Dorothy said she came across some perverted photographers who wanted more than to help her gain exposure. “You have to be careful who you are working with,” said Dorothy. “Not only do I have to be a model, but I have to be my own agent too.” That involves a lot of research and networking that can sometimes keep her on the computer anywhere from three to five hours a day. “Now that I’ve been doing it for six years, you know how to do your homework,” Dorothy said. And the perks of working on her own, she said, is much better than having to share profits with an agency and she can also form her own schedule. Growing up in Ozone Park, Dorothy said she enjoys Flushing Meadows Corona Park, shopping at Queens Center Mall and eating Chinese food. “Even if I’m in Long Island, I’ll go all the way to Queens to get Chinese food,” said Dorothy. Within the coming years, Dorothy said she hopes her body remains fit so she can continue modeling, some day raise a family and eventually open her own agency for beginner models. “I want to be able to teach models what to look out for and where to get started,” said Dorothy. |

| Queens Style
Actor Peter Facinelli has been able to make a name for himself with roles that involve a lot of machismo and engine-churning action. In 1998, the Ozone Park native busted onto the Hollywood movie scene as a beer slugging, wedgie giving jock in the teen comedy, “Can’t Hardly Wait” and more recently, played a loose-lipped undercover cop alongside Bill Bellamy in Fox’s television series “Fastlane.”
Last week, he took time out to speak with a Trib reporter for an interview and was sure to follow up with an e-mail thanking the reporter, and writing, “Fun chatting with you, thanks. Make me sound good, or I’ll have to kick your ass...Queens style.” Whoa, now! Even though family life might have tamed Facinelli a bit, it still seems that the actor still has plenty of Queens attitude in him. You can take the man out of Queens, but you can never really take the Queens out of the man. |

| Action On The Train
When getting on the subway you often worry about keeping everything you have free of sticky fingers, but for the past three years women had a little something different to worry about.
Nearly 70 women had to keep a close eye on their toes when riding the subway between Manhattan and Queens since 23-year-old Joseph Weir was on the loose looking for the next foot to kiss, fondle and lick. “I did it to make them laugh and smile and open to talk to me,” Weir confessed in a letter to the police. “I get on my knees, bow, grab their feet, kiss them. I grab their hand and tell them ‘You’re so beautiful. I’m not worthy,’” he wrote. Weir’s escapades may have been brought to an end when he was arrested late last week after attacking a woman on a subway in lower Manhattan. He was charged with forcible touching, sex abuse and unlawful imprisonment – the latter referring to his habit of grabbing his victims’ legs and not letting go. But don't feel safe yet, there's another guy who seems to keep his hands to himself – perhaps a bit too close to himself on the loose. Thankfully, those cell phones with built-in cameras are doing a great job catching this wacko who likes to expose himself to young girls aboard the 7 train. He has now been photographed a second time exposing his privates aboard crowded trains. Take a good look before your next train ride, you may get more than you bargained for in a bit more public place than you expected. |
