Live like a model, for the most part, on Avenue B

In other really important news today.... Jennifer Gould Keil has this item in the Post real-estate section today:

You might not be equipped to become a supermodel, but you can live like one for $7,995 a month. Lily Donaldson, the striking face of Burberry, wants to rent out her uber-cool East Village two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment on Avenue B, directly overlooking Tompkins Square Park. And she seems motivated to make a deal — the price has just been reduced from $8,500. Donaldson, who has also worked for Dior, bought the 1,700-square-foot apartment for $2.2 million in 2008 — a hefty $1,294 per square foot in Alphabet City. Fit for a model, the master bedroom offers lots of closet space and a separate dressing area.

Anyway, check out the listing.



The kitchen hardly looks used!

Why do supermodels and young actresses all have giant mouths? Not young Julia Roberts, youngish Anne Hathaway, the bimbo in the photograph, all giant mouthed creatures.

You've gotta have a lot of melanin to look good living in that apartment.

2.2 mil and you don't even get an eat-in kitchen
what a rip

@Ken Mac: Your comment really cracked me up! "All Giant Mouthed Creatures" would be a great title for a science fiction book.

That's god's way of telling them that they need to eat more.

Can someone just give me a bazillion dollars so I can have an apartment like that? NYC, the only city where I can make more than two of my friends combined and still be "poor" in my own neighborhood.

Of course the kitchen isn't used - she probably stores what few books she owns in her stove.

I like it--2 clocks in the kitchen is interesting. I like white-open spaces with light and a view. Woo woo!!

VH McKenzie, I doubt she's storing books in the oven. Most likely her out-of-season Jimmy Choos and Louboutins.

Lovely apartment though.

@Melanie - a lot of ex-pats keep two clocks. One for the time back home and one for the time zone they are in. I like it too.

Mr. Blog Owner:Beware of the "Stockholm Syndrome". You're in imminent danger of succumbing to that dreaded disease. For what it's worth: My kitchen is 3 feet by 3.5 feet - however, Chef Boyardee never complained.

This apartment basically costs 8k? There is no hope for me.
