Jasmin Kim
Home: Woodside Age: 25 Height: 5’ 6" Weight: 120 lbs. Stats: 36-26-36 This blonde Asian beauty who recently moved from Elmhurst to Woodside has been modeling since only January and has already found a good amount of work. “I’m doing one or two photo shoots a week,” Jasmin said. “I’ve been picking up work all over the place. I went to Albany, I was out on Long Island, have been to New Jersey. I’m willing to go anywhere for shoots.” New to the business, Jasmin has been willing to put in the time it takes to let her photographers get the right shot. “I’m very open minded,” she said. “I know that photography is very artistic. I don’t mind shooting eight or nine hours a day.” Jasmin has no problem finding the time to juggle her careers. When she is not running off to a photo shoot she’s either working as a pharmaceutical assistant at Columbia Medical Center in Washington Heights or trolling Northern Boulevard for another fix of Starbuck’s espresso. “I probably have about six espressos a day,” she admitted. That explains why she sleeps only two or three hours a night. The frantic pace, the commute back and forth from upper Manhattan to Queens and out to photo shoots, the running around to learn all she can about her new career will all be worth it in the end, though. “It would be cool to see my picture on a billboard or in a national magazine,” Jasmin told us. In the meantime, she’s happy with the exposure she’s getting from onemodelplace.com, where she is registered. “I’ve had so many contacts, I’m thinking of trying to squeeze in an extra shoot or two a week,” she said. Jasmin summed up her attitude toward modeling very simply: “I’m pretty open-minded to the whole thing,” she said. “I just totally live for this art.” |

| Quiet On The Set
The film production company trucks that are growing ever more familiar in Queens swung by the campus of Queensborough Community College recently to film a few scenes for an episode of “Law & Order: Criminal Intent.”
For those unfamiliar with the show, this rendition of the hit “Law & Order” franchise focuses its lens on the investigation that leads to arrests in the Big Apple. The crew at Queensborough was very hush-hush during filming – perhaps more so than usual. While workers readied the set, dragging cables and setting up lamps, students were seated at tables and browsing the stacks of the library as though nothing out of the ordinary was going on. Occasionally a conversation would get a little above a whisper and a designated crewmember would suddenly offer a chastising “Shh!,” recognizing the sanctity of the library. At the same time though, the stars of the show, though they spend so much of their time in front of the cameras, had a crewmember ask that the photographer from QConf leave. “They’re just afraid of the cameras,” the crewmember said. Give us a break. |

| Daffy About Seniors
If you attempted to read aloud the name of the boulevard on which a sign in the window of the Southeast Queens Senior Center says it is located, you might feel a bit like Daffy Duck.
Whoever designed the sign seemed to get a little “S” happy and added an extra one into the street name on the sign, spelling out “Leffersts” rather than the correct, “Lefferts.” The Wakefield Senior Center, which is sponsored by the Department for the Aging, offers many beneficial services to seniors in the area, but were so concerned with offering great help, that the extra “S” some how slipped past them. 1-800-MATTRESS, a Queens company run by Napolean Barragan, asks its callers to “leave off the last S for savings.” I guess we know where that S ended up. Sufferin’ succotash! |

| The NYSE Loves Raymond
America bid farewell last week to its most-watched television family with the final episode of Everybody Loves Raymond. About 32 million viewers tuned in to watch the series, created by Forest Hills native Ray Romano, end its nine-year run on CBS.
The day the show aired, Romano rang the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange before watching the episode with family at a nearby hotel. The fictional Barones, who live on Long Island, didn’t exit primetime with a dramatic bang, like another former Queensite-founded series finale, Seinfeld, but much like any other episode: at the end of the show, the camera slowly panned out on the family arguing, eating and drinking around the kitchen table. We’ll miss them. |

| Drop In The Bucket
According to a published report, passengers who have to pass under the elevated No. 7 train on Roosevelt Avenue at the 90th, 103rd and 111th Street stations have a new obstacle to encounter on their way to and from work – pigeon droppings.
Apparently the pigeons have been crop dusting the area recently, but Assemblyman Jose Peralta has a solution for travelers that doesn’t involve protective headgear or taking out the birds with gunfire. He secured funds for repairs at these stations to include a bird relocator system to “discourage” pigeons from roosting in the stations. That's the latest poop from Jackson Heights. |
