| Hot Cars, Hot Babe! Models Of Queens
Tanya Rockaway Beach Age: 28 Height: 5’10" Weight: 130 lbs. Stats: 34-27-36 A veteran model for the past nine years, Tanya has been displaying her full-fledged beauty in magazine ads and fashion shows. She's been featured in photo shoots for Ferrari and Bentley, sprawling out on the fine cars. Those photos were made into posters. She has also been featured in wedding fashion shows, and has posed as an artist’s model. Currently, she is waiting for a call back from Playboy to be featured in Playboy Girls of Golf, though she will not be posing nude. Even with her experience, Tanya still has her doubts about modeling as a full time job. “Sometimes you’ll get five jobs in one day, sometimes you go a whole month without a job,” she said. As a result, Tanya said she will pursue work as a bank teller in December. “That way, I’ll have a secure, steady job.” When she is not modeling, Tanya likes cruising in “hot cars.” She now drives an Infiniti G35 Sports Coupe, and in the past, she’s had a Jaguar convertible and a slew of different Corvettes. Tanya also said she enjoys eating out, and lists Vincent’s Clam Bar and New Park Pizza in Howard Beach as some of her favorites. “New Park is my favorite pizza spot. My family is from Long Island, so when I go home, I drag my brother all the way over here to bring him there.” A native of Babylon, Long Island, Tanya moved into Rockaway Beach two years ago. “It’s a whole life style over here,” she said. “It’s a real beach town. Everyone’s laid back, and everyone’s wearing flip flops. The men, the women – everybody’s wearing flip flops.” “I grew up in Babylon, but I wasn’t across the street from the beach. Right now, I can get up and look out my window and watch the waves pass through.” |

| At This Time
Throughout a career that has spanned four decades, songwriter and one-time Kew Gardens resident Burt Bacharach has made countless couples swoon with his classic tunes.
In his most recent studio album, titled “At This Time,” Bacharach replaced most of the mushiness with frustration. Songs on the album, delve into the state of the world and the U.S. invasion into Iraq, all from the eyes of a man who is usually singing about why birds suddenly appear, every time you are near. During a recent concert with the San Diego Symphony, Burt noticed a difference in the audience’s reaction when he played some of the new stuff. “I sensed a stronger, more positive reaction to these new pieces that deal with dissatisfaction and anger with the administration and its policies,” Bacharach said in a blog featured in the Huffington Post. “Maybe audiences are more aware or angered by our government’s policies. Maybe the music tapped into their frustration, impatience and rage, as it did mine when I was writing and recording it. I know my love songs touch people. Now I think my more serious music might be affecting audiences more, too.” Maybe he was always right, "What the world needs now is love, sweet love." |

| It Was 20 Years Ago Today – Twice Over
Where were the screaming teenaged girls? Where were the ones with sweat and tears running down their make up smudged cheeks, hmm? Where were the ones who were supposed to be slumped over the stadium seats due to a fanatic break down? Please tell us, where were they?
Oh, oh yeah, yeah, yeah… it was “1964 The Tribute” who nonchalantly strolled past security and an unassuming crowd into Shea Stadium the evening of Aug 23. What were we thinking? There weren’t going to be any inconspicuous black limos speeding up to secret entrances as uncompromising fans swarmed the stadium. All this was going to be was four guys in black suits and shaggy hair, who may we add Rolling Stone proclaimed the best Beatles tribute band in the WORLD, singing between innings of the battle of the division leaders, the Mets and Cards, which just so happened to be on the 40th anniversary of the British invasion in Queens. “This is definitely another highlight of our career,” said founding member Gary Grimes in a thick Liverpool accent, who portrays Paul McCartney in the band. “First we played at Carnegie on the exact 40th anniversary of The Beatles’ show there, and now we’re doing it again at Shea!” Looking past the Tribute's get up and authentic instruments, we guess the fact the young girls weren't there swooning could be seen on their faces as just a wrinkle in time. |

| Calm Down, Kamal
Astoria native and former Jerky Boy prankster Kamal Ahmed has remained a visible talent in the entertainment industry, even after he hung up the phone for good. The hefty funny man who made a name for himself in the late 1980s making prank phone calls has been directing and acting in a number of movies over the past few years.
Ahmed was recently featured in the film “Beer League,” a comedy about a small-time softball team, written by Howard Stern sidekick Artie Lange and starring Ralph Macchio, Seymour Cassel, and Ozone Park native Joe LoTruglio. “I was really pissed off because it was the hottest day of the year,” Ahmed told QConf that he was called to shoot on a baseball field at around 8 a.m., but was not used until 9 p.m. “I was playing an umpire, so I thought I’d call him out on strikes and we’d get into an argument and start goofing on each other. It was the most oppressively hot day, and finally I get ready to do this thing, then Artie turns and tells me that all I say is ‘You’re out.’ I’m like are you f@&$ng kidding me? I could have strangled Artie right there.” The next beer’s on us, Kamal. |
