Not Your Standard Peep Show

standardpeepshow.jpg The Standard is casting more than just a shadow over the High Line, its guests are giving park-goers a full-on peep show. The NY Post reports that many go beyond showing off their naughty bits to passerby—they also have sex, masturbate and even film professional pornos. Heavens to Murgatroyd! Who will save the children? Not hotel management.

The paper points out that they actually encourage this behavior online; their Facebook page says, "We encourage you to exercise your inner exhibitionist," and their website asks, "Whatever you do, just make sure the shots are HOT and that you get them to us in whichever way you can. It's all about sex all the time, and you're our star." This disappeared after the Post contacted the hotel for comment, however.

City Council Speaker Christine Quinn says she plans to check up on the hotel's "unacceptable" actions. In the meantime, we await all of these professional High Line porns that have allegedly been filmed there. Porn with a view!

Quinn won't support the democratic candidate for mayor. (August 19th 2009) . Audience boo the CLOSETED republican Quinn

Quinn's just jealous because even her pets don't want to see her naked...or fully clothed, for that matter.

not to sound obvious, but PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN...

...and not that censored shit in the post.

oh.... that was much easier. ty

a.) Not in the windows.

b.) I wouldn't bet more than $1 that those girls are legal in New York.

I'm afraid to click any of the links above... esp. at work.

It's ok, you'll just need a bucket, a mop, and some very thick gloves.

Some strange masturbatory habits you've got there. Not judging.

None of them were taken from outside the hotel, and in most of them the drapes are obviously closed so no one on the High Line could see what was happening anyway.

So really, they're not relevant to this story. They're just evidence that people sometimes shoot nude photos in hotel rooms.

You're missing the fact that there's boobs.
Always relevant. :)

How is this any different from any other Manhattan highrise? I live in one, I see my neighbors naked, they see me naked. It's kind of unavoidable when your big windows face other people's big windows. Though I guess being able to see it from the High Line is somewhat different.

(only because it's a public park and supposedly a family place)
The city doesn't want to acknowledge the fact that they spent so much goddamn money to put fucking grass on a railroad track and call it a park.

Hey, those are salt-tolerant native grasses. It takes a lot of money to accurately replicate industrial decay.

Why don't you buy blackout blinds or curtains?

We have them. But sometimes you're naked and whoops, they're open.

It's embarrassing when that happens at work.

"How is this any different from any other Manhattan highrise?"

One difference is that hotel management is apparently encouraging it and publicizing it.

Well I'm embarassed. The concierge told me it was one way glass. Sorry people. Hope I didn't ruin your vacation.

"We encourage you to exercise your inner exhibitionist"
at a hotel?
*pfft* I do that anywhere, anytime!

user-pic

also, it makes NY interesting/edgy for those who may visit

Ladies, as they say in England, "Tits oot fer the lads!"

who cares?
its fucking ney york!
do whatever the hell you want just make surew to pay taxes and tolls

Oh and please recycle

The most offensive thing about the Standard is the architecture.

Seriously. We're talking Caracas 1967.
