| In Fashion With Trisha
But when you want to break into the fashion world it’s a good idea to know a little bit of everything.
That’s one of the reasons Trisha went to photographer Nick Beneduce for beauty shots. “I love being in front of the camera,” she said. “But I never had anything done professionally.” Trisha graduates this summer from Queensborough Community College and will transfer to the Fashion Institute of Technology to pursue her love of fashion. Trisha said she is more interested in design right now but has to build her portfolio before she can attack the subject academically. “I’d love to do modeling professionally,” she said. “But right now, I’m just doing it for fun.” At 23, Trisha has a lot of time to make up her mind about her eventual career in fashion and right now she likes having fun. A five-year resident of Little Neck, Trisha said most of her friends still live in her old stomping ground of Flushing, which would probably be where you would most likely catch her hanging out. “I really like the karaoke bars on Main Street,” she said She doesn’t like to sing though does enjoy watching her friends belt a tune or two.

| An Ebay Deep Throat Gag?
Collectors of political memorabilia swollowed deeply upon seeing this current ebay listing: a tongue depressor autographed by Queens Congressman and Tribune founder, Gary Ackerman.
For only $3.99 this unique piece of Americana could be yours. There's only one catch: the Ebay powerseller "Autographedcards" charges $6.00 for shipping and handling. If there is any local interest in the item, we'll reach out to the Congressman and try to arrange a tongue depresser signing. |

| Passing the Torch
Jim McKay, the ABC sportscaster we all associate with the Olympics, has passed away at 86. He famously covered the Munich Summer Games in 1972 when 11 Israeli athletes were kidnapped and killed. And later, in 2002, he convinced ABC to “loan” him to NBC for coverage of the Salt Lake City Games.
He will be missed this summer, when the Olympics come to Beijing. Missed, but not forgotten, said Queens native and NBC Olympic host Bob Costas. “He’s one of the greatest broadcasters in the history of the medium,” Costas told the Associated Press. “Jim essentially created the role of the modern Olympic host. He set the standard.” |

| Lobby.nyc
A Queens man is leading the fight for New York City to acquire its own domain stamp on the Internet.
Jackson Heights resident Tom Lowenhaupt would like to see City sites end in .nyc. Not such a bad idea considering French sites end with .fr and sites from the Netherlands end with .nl. As the Internet continues to grow, Lowenhaupt argues organizing the City’s civic, commercial and cultural life is the best way in ensuring prosperity online. How nice would it be to type hotels.nyc and easily find a relative a bed for the weekend? City Councilwoman Gale Brewer (D-Manhattan), chairwoman of the Technology in Government Committee, is already behind the project and is expected to introduce legislation in support of cause. “A .nyc address gives New York City a recognizable brand name on the World Wide Web,” Brewer told the New York Times. “It lets New Yorkers and anyone else search for and find New York City businesses and nonprofit organizations, and helps us further enhance our economic development. It also shows that New York City is truly a digital community on par with the other tech centers across the globe.” No other city at the moment has its own domain but both Paris and Berlin are hoping to secure one next year. However, the idea ran into a sufficient amount of red tape due to the porn industry lobbying for its own .xxx ending, which has not yet been settled. We hope that there is no relationship to our city. |

| Save The Ducks
Unless you live under a rock, you know that the economy isn’t looking bright. The price of gas goes up every hour and we may soon have to buy our own milking cows. And with all that is wrong with New York, Councilman Tony Avella and State Sen. Frank Padavan put forth legislation to end foie gras production – I guess “Save the Ducks” is as good a campaign slogan as any.
Um, well I guess since all the gi-normous causes are taken, let's try something small. Now, now, PETA relax. we understand that the ducks are overfed and it is a bit cruel. But after the ducks’ futures are secured how about we tackle something like, we don’t know . . . education or the astronomical cost of living in this City. Besides, who can really afford to eat in a restaurant that serves fattened duck liver in this economy anyway? Sometimes we just quack ourselves up! |
