    As a student and aspiring high fashion model, Denise Dominguez is a busy girl.  

    The 20-year-old Elmhurst resident has her hands full with juggling classes at Queensborough Community College — where she studies psychology — and going to photo shoots. Taking belly dancing classes on weekends also keeps her busy, she told us.

    A graduate of Newtown High School, Denise, who also works at a hair products supply shop in the Bronx, said modeling is a dream of hers but she also has other goals.

    “I want to be a high fashion model, but I’m missing an inch.  So I’d like to be a child psychologist.”

    Denise, who was born in the Dominican Republic, has modeled for a magazine and in fashion shows, and once had her hair colored red and orange for an appearance. 

    In her spare time, Denise says she enjoys dancing at Queens clubs, D & A in Astoria, and Bliss in Queensborough Plaza.

Recycle

We're not endorsing or taking credit for this recent email that's circulating on the net, but we thought we'd share it with you:

If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00.

With Enron, you would have $16.50 of the original $1,000.00.

With Worldcom, you would have less than $5.00 left.

If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser (the beer, not the stock) one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00.

Based on the above, the current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

Cute Mailings

When it comes to the most friendly and cute reminders for the Queens community to come out to a community board meeting, Community Board 4 wins the prize.  Their mailings — which consist of labels with cutsie half-smiling staplers, rolodexes, and other colorful objects — add some personality to the mailings.  It appears to be the only Community Board to “cutify” their mailings. QConf gives an A+ to Community Board 4 for their effort  and looks forward to collect them all!

‘President’ Sharpton In The Hot Seat

When former City Councilman, Peter Vallone, Sr. — appearing on local cable NY1’s “Inside City Hall” — was asked what he thought Al Sharpton’s chances for a political career were, the former Speaker did not hesitate to speak his mind.

He told host Dominic Carter that if the Rev. would confess his sins regarding “the story involving that young girl,” (Tawana Brawley) his chances would be a lot better. Vallone of course would be referring to the late ’80s debacle whereby Sharpton and two attorneys, C. Vernon Mason and Alton Maddox bought and sold the teenaged Brawley’s tale of rape and other degradations at the hands of a group of white men including a local prosecutor, in her upstate New York hometown.

 The aspiring presidential candidate with the fancy “do” has taken to criticizing critics who now ask him to “‘splain” his shenanigans with the question, “Would you ask Ted Kennedy about Chappaquidic?” 

Yes, Rev, they would and did during his 1984 presidential run. It has haunted him his whole career since then just as Tawana will yours.

Wonder who former upstate prosecutor Steven Pigonas will be voting for in the Presidential Primary next year?

The Police Pad

POLICE STEREOTYPING? One friend of a QConf scribe had a minor unpleasant car encounter in Staten Island.

No one was hurt and the cops from New York's orphan borough really showed their stuff when they arrived on the scene.

But, we bet you dollars to donuts you couldn't guess what S.I. Cops use for pads.

Asked by our freind how he could obtain the accident report, the S.I. finest scribbled his precinct contact number on a napkin of his favorite establishment (shown).
