| He Knows His Smiles
Damion
Home: Astoria Age: 27 Aspiring dentist Damion Sinclair of Astoria loves a good set of pearly whites, and now his own dazzling smile has earned him the admiration of millions. Representing New York in Cosmopolitan magazine’s 50 Hottest Bachelors contest, Damion, who said he loves “plush lips” on a woman, had a hard time believing he was chosen when Cosmo called. “I thought it was someone messing with me, and I was like, ‘Who’s this?’ “It took a while for it to hit me, and after we got off phone, I was like, ‘Holy crap, I’m gonna be in Cosmo.’” The 27-year-old pumped-up playboy was nominated by a friend who got a hold of an old modeling photo shortly after Sinclair broke up with a girlfriend and reclaimed his bachelor status. Even though Damion has dabbled in modeling, he chose mind over muscles when he graduated from SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry in 2003 and enrolled in a master’s degree program at C.W. Post. “I’m big on security,” Damion said. “Deep down I would like to pursue a modeling career and an acting career, but a lot of that stuff doesn’t have a foundation. I want to make sure I have a dental degree. Something I can build family on.” Sinclair likes Queens because of its affordability and proximity to Manhattan and can often be spotted on Steinway Street picking up some stud-wear. Even if he doesn’t take the crown as the “Hottest Bachelor,” Damion is happy with the interest he has received from modeling agencies because of the contest. He hopes it will give him some modeling work. Despite his stint in a women’s mag, Damion said he has no time for a leading lady. “I’ve kinda taken a break from girls and just focused on my work,” he said. But as for next year’s competition, Sinclair can’t promise he’ll still be single. “Hopefully, I won’t be a bachelor for too long,” he said. |

| Judging The Judge
Lesser-known facts about our Second Circuit Court’s New Chief Judge, Dennis Jacobs:
First off, let’s list the most important one here; Judge Jacobs was in fact an English professor at Queens College before he decided on a career in the law when he was 26. Secondly he has a bronze statuette of a banana peel. According to the New York Sun, Judge Jacobs warned, “It reminds you of what can happen if you’re not careful.” And thirdly Jacobs plays classical music while working in his chambers, although he said he usually restricts himself to “second-rate music” because he finds the best symphonies too distracting. Geez – sounds a lot better than the everyday lawyers one meets. |

| Desperation Wins Out
In what is apparently a last ditch effort to secure some of McDonald’s corporate dough, a Ridgewood resident took to Craigs List.
In a post entitled “Monopoly Pieces. Help me, help you,” the foul-mouthed resident lists all of the McDonalds game pieces in his possession, with the objective of trading pieces with other players. “We all want to win right? So let’s help each other win,” the ad states. “Trading pieces is an essential way of winning that s—.” McDonald’s Monopoly campaign runs through Oct. 30 in McDonald’s Restaurants across the country and in Canada. Since nearly 500 million prize pieces were printed, we have to admit we admire his ingenuity. But should his ethics be questioned? (photo caption qconf4.jpg) Confidentially, New York . . . |

| The Sexy Donald
The Donald would have been flattered (or so we think) to see one of the finalists on America’s Next Top Model dressed up as him. We all know how much Donald Trump loves models. He only marries models and he even chose a model for his son to marry.
Well stylists went all out on the set of the TV hit reality show that aired Wednesday and gave model Melrose a makeover to make her look like The Donald. The stylists then made her over again to look like his model wife Melania. The judges did noy vote her off and all thought Melrose did a good imitation of the Donald. |

| Judy, Judy, Judy
No wonder she left Queens.
Uber-Conservative Judy Aron, 49, is taking on avowed Liberal Democrat Andrew Fleishmann in a race for the 18th House District in Connecticut’s state legislature. Now those who shy away from a Republican in a race where a tried-and-true Democrat incumbent is involved should consider Aron, who hails from our great borough, and possibly look the other way when it comes to her party affiliation. Let’s see…Fleishmann, the six-term legislator, is a Princeton and Stanford grad with degrees in public policy and history who has been instrumental in freezing taxes for seniors over 70, reforming the state’s campaign financing laws, and restructuring the budget to give special ed kids more money. Our gal is a graduate of SUNY New Paltz, a former data processing manager for an insurance company and a home-schooling mom of three. When asked how she would change the state’s funding formula by the Hartford Courant, she plainly said, “I don’t know the answers.” Uh…perhaps the Queens pedigree may not be enough after all. Good luck, though. |

| U2, Live From Dhaka?
Bonoful Restaurant and Sweets, a bakery on 36th Avenue in Jackson Heights, was the subject of some recent confusion at AOL.com. In a story run on AOL earlier this year, the internet giant claims that the bakery had been recently opened by Irish singer Bono. Categorized as “Weird Business News,” the article, which is tongue-in-cheek but genuine, seems to be basing the assumption solely on the name “Bonoful.” “Having invested in Forbes,” the unattributed article begins, “it appears the U2 frontman is going to take a bite out of the Hard Rock Cafe business with his new “Bonoful Sweets” restaurant.” As the article continues, it gives a few scant observations as an opportunity to run some goofy menu suggestions based on U2 hits. When interviewed, the staff of the restaurant denied that Bono had anything to do with operations, and could not explain the cause of the confusion. A restaurant employee also stated that it is a Bengali restaurant, owned and operated. Having been a fixture in the neighborhood for years, there is not even a hint as to how such a rumor could have gotten started. And, “Bonoful” is actually a Bengali word for a type of flower. | |||||||||
