    Please tell us more of this "exhibitionist" hotel and keep in mind, a picture is worth a thousand words.

    @Magister: Barry Diller's latest internet venture will feature a constellation of live feeds of the Standard Hotel as seen from DVF's glass lair (see "Somebody's Watchin' Me" at right). [www.ThePanderedStandard.com]

    sigh. who else remembers NYC 1986, when the meatpacking district was all trannies and sides of beef hanging over the sidewalk (and no, I don't mean chelsea queens)

    gawker, please bring back the feature where 80's NYC calls.

    I can't stand that wall of a building, it looks like soviet era leftovers. And hey Standard, guess what, you don't fit into my image of New York, which thanks to snobby pseudo cool shit like you has become a (clean) toilet full of bottle service drunks and credit card receipts.
    I'd rather see people do their leather parade any day of the week than patronize your monolithic farce. God forbid someone staying at your hotel should see anything unexpected or different while in NYC.

    At that moment, Whitney Port and Olivia Palermo choked on their goat cheese salads.

    "That is so gay," said Whitney, "Like, how could the Standard be so gay for not letting gays go on parade?"

    "It would be bad for DVF," chimed in Olivia.

    Then Spencer Pratt showed up sans Heidi and Whitney and Olivia thought the leather parade was in full swing.

    The End.

    I walked by The Standard last week and saw a couple having sex as they looked out the window. They were on a low floor so it was easy to see what they were up to. And they were up to a lot...

    Let's all chip in for a room at the standard that "shares a view" with Di-von and take turns spelling out "your clothes suck ass" in semaphore!

    "All Diane von Furstenberg wanted when she built an enormous glass igloo on top of a building in the most populous city in the United States was a little privacy. Is that so much to ask?"


    That made my day Richard. Thanks.
