| Just Starting Out
Debbie-Jean’s life on the runway started at her church.
In order to raise money for a new computer, the church put together a fashion show fundraiser and Debbie-Jean walked the catwalk for the first time. Impressing her friends who model, Debbie-Jean was talked into perhaps trying some modeling shots for work in print and commercials. “I said why not,” she said. Calling on photographer Nick Beneduce, of Ozone Park, the Far Rockaway beauty snapped some photos to use in her portfolio. Since then, she has walked the catwalk a second time for a Brooklyn College AIDS fundraiser. “I just love playing dress up is what it is,” she said. When not focusing on her budding modeling career, Debbie-Jean is taking nursing classes at Queensborough Community College. “Modeling is my backup,” she joked. Debbie-Jean also has a bit of a designer gene in her as she is always modifying her clothes. “I love to cut up old clothes and make them into different things.” Debbie-Jean is also a self-diagnosed shopaholic, which is why you might find her on Jamaica Avenue if not in the movie theater checking out the latest release from Hollywood.

| Peter Vallone Jr. As The Joker
Animal New York, an online humor magazine is running a contest poking fun at Queens own Peter Vallone Jr.
The Queens Councilman who agreesively chairs the Council's Public Safety Committee is their target because of his stands against quality of Life crimes. The headline hungry magazine is hoping to make a splash by literally demonizing Pete Jr. for his war on graffiti and the like. The contest reads: “Although the Joker is truly frightening and a total psychopath terrorist in the new Dark Knight movie, the real life villain of Gotham is Peter Vallone Jr., the anti-constitutional legislation penning NYC councilman. He’s become a menace to all freedom loving New Yorkers: artists, dog lovers and whoever else he decides to target next. So we decided to highlight his villainy with a giveaway.” Pubic figures are targets for ridicule, but is Vallone’s anti-graffiti crusade and pro-pooper-scooper dog laws deserving of comparison to the Joker’s crazed scheming? And who is the Dark Knight? |

Always confident Penteado said he knew one day he would win, the money just came sooner that he thought. He will receive the money in 20 annual payments of $50,000. Penteado was a dedicated player for many years and said he has bought two lotto tickets with every paycheck since arriving from Brazil 14 years ago.

Halloween costume suggestion: a Lipstick Jungle, whatever that is. |
