Nov. 14, 2006 - loft = designer clothes / the award for most interesting description of loft living goes to…
… the eco-conscious Tribeca mom with the guilty conscience (and the Prius)
The mom with the automobile commute to the Upper East Side with the junior high daughter had a lovely way to describe the luxury of loft space in Manhattan:
“I had theorized that in Manhattan, where the rarest, most prized commodity is space, that the loft is the ultimate form of conspicuous consumption because you have all your space on display at once,” she said. “It’s like wearing all your designer clothing at the same time.”
She also gets an award for her triple play with “grubby”: her former “grubby little one-bedroom” apartment, her boyfriend’s former “grubby little studio” apartment, and their current loft lobby, which is (yes) “grubby”.
This essayist and novelist has a way with words!
