Thousands of men flock to Hot Import Nights, a traveling car show
with suped-up vehicles. Some of them prefer Jenny to the cars.
As a model, Jenny attends car shows where she signs autographs at
booths. Since she is too short to do runway modeling, her goal is to end up in a national
publication.
But for now, the Forest Hills resident promotes herself with a website
she created. This luscious beauty even has a yahoo fan club site.
Yet Jenny is more interested in finance than modeling. She is a junior
at Baruch and hopes to graduate early. She also works at Morgan Stanley as an assistant to
a senior vice president in the retail stocks division where she helps run the day-to-day
operations and keeps the clients happy.
Morgan Stanley was located on the 73rd floor of the second tower at the
World Trade Center and Jenny is among the lucky ones. On the worst day of the Citys
history, Jenny was late to work and got stuck on the R train. When she got out on 8th
Street, "It was weird, I watched everyone come uptown." She soon found out that
the towers were on fire.
"Thankfully everyone in my firm is okay," says Jenny.
"Life is precious, anything can happen." Thats why she tries not to
procrastinate.
To most people that know her, she is quiet and shy. "Friends come
to me with advice because they know I can keep a secret," says Jenny.
Boyfriends either take up too much or are too possessive for Jenny.
"Its so much easier hanging out with a bunch of friends," she says.
At least once a week, she tries making it out to a pool hall in Queens,
either BBC in Bayside or Millennium on Francis Lewis, where she hangs out with friends.
Not surprisingly she looks up to Jeannette Lee, a.k.a. the Black Widow- a young Asian,
world pool player. She also catches action and romantic flicks at Bay Terrace.
Jenny came from Taiwan ten years ago. She attended Russell Sage Junior
High School and Cardozo High School in Bayside.
Dissident
Dies
Exiled Chinese dissident Wang Ruowang, a writer who was once jailed by
Chinas communist government, died quietly at Elmhurst Hospital last week. He was 83.
According to an Associated Press story, "Wang remained defiant to
the end, refusing an offer from China a week before his death to let him back into the
country a wish Wang had held since he left Shanghai in 1992 to become a visiting
scholar at New Yorks Columbia University."
Ruowang was expelled from the Communist Party in Jan.1987 during what
has been called an "anti-bourgeois liberalization" campaign in China.
Liu Qing, another Chinese dissident living in Queens, told the AP that
Wang was diagnosed two weeks ago with terminal cancer.
He called Wang "the oldest, most prestigious and most stubborn
democracy activist. He used his life to pursue human rights and democracy in China."

Break A Nail...
After years of putting brawn first, one-time heavyweight boxing title
contender Gerry Cooney now seems to be focusing on beauty.
After a recent visit to the office of Flushing Assemblyman Brian
McLaughlin, during which Cooney requested money for his organization Fighters
Initiative for Support and Training (FIST), Cooney and FIST President Joseph Sano
took a walk to Momo Nails on Depot Road and got manicures.
Thats right, tough
Gerry Cooney got a manicure.
This is a man who went 28-3 in his boxing
career with 24 KOs. This is a man who fought Larry Holmes in 1982 for the World
Heavyweight Boxing Title. Sure, he lost, but he put up a good fight.
Although both Cooney and his friend Sano
were unavailable for comment, an employee of Momo Nails explained that the two men got
basic manicures, including cleaning, cutting and cuticle work. "No painting,"
she said with a laugh.
She also told QConf that men get
manicures all the time at Momo, and that its not so strange that Cooney got one.
"They want to look nice, too," she said.
An autographed picture of Cooney now hangs
in Momo, making him the poster boy of male manicures in Queens.
He retired from the ring in 1990.

BIN LADEN BOMB: A tugboat
operator from Far Rock sent a nice holiday gift to Osama Bin Laden to help him
remember eight close friends who died in the attack. Bin Laden received a personalized
bomb from Simon Young of Far Rockaway. The names of six alumni from Xavier High
School and two rugby buddies were imprinted on the bomb. It was signed by Xavier Alumni
and NY Athletic-Rugby Football Club.
Young got to personalize the bomb through a contact onboard
the carrier Roosevelt stationed in the Indian Ocean. A bomber from the ship personally
delivered the gift to Afghanistan.
