sky high night view hate you

Ah! 
What a killer view
up here at the Cooper Square Hotel penthouse.
Great spot for a party....

Wait, what is that?

Is that someone's penthouse apartment?

Seriously?

Huge patio too?

Double height windows?
Those ceilings must be 18 feet high!

Is that a Kjaerholm daybed?

Looks like the back window was designed by
Mondrian after a drunken night with
Robert Mallet-Stevens.

Is that a glowing skylight?
Meaning if it is, 
and it's not the light shining from inside,
that this asshole has yet another floor below....

It's a skylight. 
Fuck you.
I don't think that is a 
Kjaerholm daybed, and the interior decoration looks 
a little lacking,
so I feel a little better....

Bad art, bad speakers, bad bronze Asian figure
and a giant ugly pillow,
yet,
still
hate 
you.

  7. I've been wanting to comment on this post for an age, but I was moving so I had no Internet.

    It's terrible to peep in people's windows of course, but I love this post too. I like the way you narrate your reaction.

    The other day I was walking along Riverside and looking up at this beautiful balcony that I like to admire whenever I pass it. I think I like to imagine Irene Dunne or Veronica Lake or somebody living there (a young Irene Dunne /Veronica Lake).

    Well this one day JUST as I was passing someone came out onto the balcony. And damn if it wasn't some schmo with an ugly silver backpack, khaki shorts, running shoes and a hockey team jersey.

    Then right after that incident I saw this post and it made me laugh so hard. I don't know what right I think I have to demand that the world live up to my picturesque imagination. But evidently you have the same right!

    Love it.
