The NY Post’s website ran this fantastic, hard-hitting piece on what looks like about the most horrendous locale in New York City — the ultra-exclusive “model lounge” in SoHo. It’s for models only, ‘natch, and it offers these poor girls a much-needed break from all the stress of being around normal people, like at a Starbucks. It’s so nice because, between the uber-athletic tasks of attending bookings and photo shoots, they can just catch up with each other, get manicures, and pretend to eat a reuben. How nice. Let me just state for the record that I never, ever want to go to there.

Lovely- so they can all sit around, not eat, and be catty to one another. Sarcasm, folks.
“men, annoying men!” Why is it, when you have a group of people, the smarter ones don’t seem to be the ones that end up opening their mouths on camera?
Do YOU want to hang out with the people at Starbucks?
Id love to go there!
conversations have to be reeeeally amusing!! jajajaja!!
Meh….it’s no different than the VIP room in a nightclub, those restaurants only super-rich members can eat at, of ‘clubs’ that only certain people can belong to. No different than, say, a golf course only for super-special famous golfers with millions of dollars. Would I want to go there? No, because I’m not a model and probably have very little to talk to models about. Do I find the idea stupid, elitist, or offensive? Nah. If they opened up a special lounge for only super-duper attractive girls who read Harry Potter a lot, I’d go there, and wouldn’t expect people who’ve never read the books to be upset that they can’t get it. Also, apparently they need to change and do their nails or whatever. Can’t do that in Starbucks. Also, Starbucks sells coffee, not reuben sandwiches to pretend to eat. ;)
Good perspective!
Throughout that video I just wanted to get those girls to wash their hair and perhaps buy some clothes that fit. Why is it so fashionable to spend a hella lotta money on looking like a hobo?! I blame the Olsen twins.
Highlight: It was hilarious watching that girl pretend to eat that sandwich – she looked like she was gagging at the very thought.
If they wear clothes that fit instead of shapeless sacks then people will see their bones and realize how gross they actually look. Half of those girls weren’t even attractive, just painfully skinny. Models used to be attractive and sexy, they looked healthy and actually had bodies that real women could strive for. Now they just look like famine victims and nobody in their right mind wants to look like them.
As for the comment about men hitting on them all the time, those men must have some weird fetish. I’m not sexually attracted to women but I know I wouldn’t be hitting on any of those girls, they just look sick and freaky.
It’s New York. Its the cool thing there to have a sunken in chest and knobby knees. No, I’m not joking. Grown women, too, not just high school girls.
One more reason why New York should stop pretending they are the center of the universe and acknowledge that they suck.
Sounds like you couldn’t make it there…or (to cite Frank Sinatra) make it anywhere(?)
Way to judge a whole city.
New York is too damn full of itself. I’ve been there. Not impressed. Could I make it? Probably not because I don’t starve myself so even my incredibly small frame would seem like an obese tourists to you people. There is nothing in New York other large cities don’t offer. Except disgusting mounds of garbage and self-importance. I’m from Chicago: I can get the self-importance without the filth, thanks.
I’m not a NYC fan either. So many rude people and so grimy plus the tap water is revolting. I’m sure there are plenty of people who are willing to put up with that stuff for the clubs and stuff but I haven’t found anything about NYC that appeals to me. There are a couple of restaurants I’d like to visit some day but that’s it.
Personally, I’d hate the weather in Chicago, the smog/heat in LA and the weather in Seattle as well. My point? All major cities have downfalls, but I love NY for it’s culture, restaurants, history, shopping, people..everything. We all have different preferences, but at least I know there’s about 8 million people who agree with me.
Cross streets, please?
so they don’t have to suffer in starbucks ! haha
i agree with rhonda and i am sure most people would too, models now are wayyy to scrawny but in fashion you must re adjust you levels of what is accepted thinness. I am uk 8 [usa size 2-4] and the agents were fine with me at first and then it was “why not tone up and be more healthy?” the translation seemed to be why not drop some more weight? so yeah, bones are big. Sometimes you’re allowed [fake] boobies too.
These models seem to think that they would get hit on left and right out in public. How realistic is that, honestly? I have never heard a single man say that anorexia is attractive.
My fiance just watched the video and said, “Those girls are really gross-looking. They need to eat.”
Your fiance is smart. ;)
that “lounge” looks kind of like a rec room in someone’s basement, LOL. i love the model that said she spends lots of time in the bathroom changing … i think we all know that “changing” really means puking up the reuben you just pretended to eat.
The girl in the purple shirt is extremely beautiful and also seems horribly stupid…
