Standard Rear Window View on the High Line

After a week of hearing all about these exhibitionists at the Standard Hotel, someone has finally sent us an image. See a much larger version here, and try to guess what's actually happening in this hotel room. Or don't. As Vanishing NY points out, city living has always offered glimpses into stranger's lives; two years ago HBO projected this on the side of a LES building, and before that we had films like Rear Window. The site points out that the Standard's management has created the dullest version of a voyeuristic experience, and "In his direction, the luxury hotelier lacks the depth and nuance of Hitchcock." It's true, but what does one expect from André Balazs? Maybe the residents at the Hotel Chelsea should create an artier version of this.

Anyway, keep those photos comin'!

MMMMM,not sure what's going on, ironing? Can someone let me know if the Standard is looking for maids, i have a nice little "uniform" i can bring along, just make sure i am assigned to rooms with guests, like this one, who have some nice ASSets!

All that construction debris seen in the windows of the top floors gives me a boner.

Ok, now it's time for Gothamist to double the ad rates for American Apparel.

If you look at the larger version of the pic you can clearly see a foot on the bed. The guy is leaning towards the person's foot.... you guess what they were doing...

Looks like your standard-issue naked masseuse, people!!

Must be a Moonie convention in town.

Start of something though not much to see.
