YSaC, Vol. 277: Do you think she sings in the shower?

2009 April 20

$940 / 1br – williamsburg loft


its a 4 bedroom loft style apt. 1 bathroom huge kitchen/living room. 1 stop into manhattan on the L train. tons of bars/restaurants/shopping in the area. amazing roof/view

if its just for the month thats fine, but theres a chance you can sign the lease in june if everyone gets along

$940/month plus utilies

please let me know soon!

My god, this is like the Best. Apartment. Ever. I get to live with Aretha Franklin and that random hipster dude! Or is that a girl? Who cares! I’d be living with the freakin’ Queen of Soul and a hipster androgynous person who are both wearing massive bows! We could sit around all day making sure that all of our bows match the sofa. And we could worry about that strange glow emanating from the kitchen, but I know Aretha Franklin would protect me from it.

The hipster dude/tte and I could discuss how great his/her current favorite band is, until three days later when s/he decides they’re too popular to like anymore and that s/he has a new favorite band that nobody’s ever heard of because they haven’t even formed yet. And then Aretha would come in and start bellowing “R-E-S-P-E-C-T” and we’d be like, “Aretha, calm down, we’ll do the dishes in a minute.” And the glittering light from her Swarovski crystal bedazzled bow would light up the New York evening, and oh, how we’d laugh …

    Oh man that is great commentary.
    Also, are we missing some volumes here? Sunday was 276, now we’re at 279…

      My goodness, you people are demanding … you want witty commentary AND consecutive numbers. Something’s got to give at SOME point, man!

      (Thanks for pointing that out. I’ve fixed it.)

    Subtle request.
    Must love Bows!

    *any romatic comedies made using aforementioned plot device will owe me royalties. It is on the interwebs therefore it is law.

    Wow, you have one wild imagination!
    That would make a fabulous weird experimental movie!

      I would go see it. It kind of reminds me of the sit-com theme song improv in Whose Line Is It Anyway? The audience would suggest two celebrities who would be unlikely to live together (Hillary and Monica was one example) and the actors had to improvise and act out the theme song for a show about them being roommates.

    we all know this ad is a fake – there ain’t no living space big enough to house people AND that monstrous bow!

    Also, is it $940 a month for just one of the four bedrooms in the loft? I know New York is expensive, but I didn’t realize it was THAT expensive! (My comparison point is Helsinki, where you can rent a spacious 16 square meter apartment for 500€ a month.)

      Unfortunately, $940 a month sounds about right for a single bedroom in a hipster-infested Williamsburg share. Although there might be some sort of service charge for giant bows, skinny jeans and personal performances by the Queen of Soul.

    Four bedrooms. Two bows big enough to require zoning permits. ONE bathroom. I could see how there would be problems here.

    On a side note. This blog? Best. Blog. Ever. You’ve officially topped Cake Wrecks as my #1 favorite must-read-every-day blog. This entry officially nudged it over the edge. Not that I don’t love my daily dose of Wrecky goodness. But exposing the seedy underbelly of Craigslist for the rest of us to laugh at? Genius. I only wish I’d thought of the idea first!
