| Not The Girl Next Door
In certain circles, Lady Zombie is a well known figure. But unless you are part of the sadomasochist scene she’s as innocuous as your next door neighbor.
Christina Rosado’s adopted moniker began when she started working at 17 for fetish Web sites and promoting various underground parties with such dark names as “Sweet Abyss” or “Paradise Lost,” probably without the go-ahead from John Milton, the 17th-century poet who wrote the epic poem of the same name. “It’s been a lot of fun,” Lady Zombie said. Always the gothic kid at school, Christina, 21, went on to explore all aspects of the City’s scene. “I started out as a dominatrix,” she said, which she noted has a terrible reputation. “I wish more people understood it.” A born and raised Queens daughter, Christina said domination is all about role reversal and there is nothing sexual about it. “Many CEOs in power want to be dominated, it’s about power,” she said. “There is absolutely no sexual touching.” “My mother is very supportive,” she said. Lady Zombie’s mother is a former NYPD detective who also modeled on the side. Lady Zombie also has picked up work in independent horror movies and industry videos. For one photo shoot she and a photographer went out to the LIRR tracks, she was dosed in fake blood and got dirtier than she can remember. “It was so crazy,” she said. “But a lot of fun.” For a day job, the Ridgewood resident is an independent consultant for a skin care products company.

| Nice Place To Visit . . .
If your apartment were being fumigated for cockroaches where would you lie your head, Motel 6? Your old bed with the Disney sheets. How about Ikea? You read right, Ikea.
Mark Malkoff is doing just that. He moved into an Ikea store in Paramus N.J. last Monday bringing with him two suitcases of personal items. The Astoria resident thought of the usual places to crash, but publish reports state he surmised friends apartments were too small (they are all the size of closets in New York City) and hotels are too expensive. Besides, why pay when you can get a good night sleep for free. He works for Comedy Central’s “Colbert Report with Stephen Colbert” as a ticket handler. And he is most famous for “171 Starbucks” video documenting his visits to all of the coffee chain’s Manhattan stores in a single day. Malkoff couldn’t overstay his welcome; he had to be out of the store by midnight on Saturday. The store doesn’t open on Sundays.

| The Queens Community House
Last year the Forest Hills Community House changed its name to the Queens Community House to better serve the borough's diverse population. What started modestly with senior case management and a youth program in 1974 has expanded to 18 sites across the borough.
However, the emphasis remains on serving Queens through offering senior, youth and community services. For example, QCH shows movies free of charge, two afternoons a week. Last Thursday, it was “Last Tango in Paris,” a 1972 film about an American widower (Marlon Brando) who falls for an engaged Parisian woman (Maria Schneider). The film is considered a classic. It was nominated for best director and best actor Oscars. It is also X-rated. Who knew the Queens Community House was leading a double life as a smut house? |

| Matzo Mix?
A Far Rockaway woman is the only New York resident to make it to the last round of the second annual Simply Manischewitz Cook-off to be held in February.
For the competition, Joy Devor, a housewife, substitute teacher and mother of six, will cook her famous flounder rolls, made with fresh sole and Tam Tams, a Manischewitz cracker. She has been making the recipe for more than 10 years. Devor was one of 30 cooks selected from a pool of thousands to compete in November’s regional semifinals in Philadelphia. First prize in the kosher cooking contest, held in New York on Feb. 27, includes a new kitchen, a year’s worth of Manischewitz products and $5,000 cash. We'll be rooting for Joy to bring home the bread . . uh, matzoh. Good luck! |

| Star Struck At Kaufman Astoria
It could get a lot easier to star gaze in Astoria—in the celebrity kind of way.
Hal Rosenbluth, president of the famed Kaufman Studios in Astoria, announced Denzel Washington and John Travolta will both be shooting “The Taking of Pelham 123,” this year at the studio. The movie, a remake of the 1974 movie staring Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw, involves four men hijacking a New York subway train in demand of $1 million in one hour or else hostages are executed. Also, shooting this year at the studio is the 39th and 40th seasons of Sesame Street. Now you can tell people how to get to Sesame Street (hint: it’s on the corner of 36th Street and 34th Ave.) The studio will host the new game show “Million Dollar Password,” based on the classic—with more money, of course. Rosenbluth also said Woody Allen will be shooting his next movie at the studio, which will begin this year. A full plate even with the writer’s strike. |
