    I've been creating nonsense FOR FREE since 2006, and could have been paid for this!?

    Could I do my current job, post on Brooklynian, write for Brownstoner, and randomly post pictures of Cate?

    Oh my, I go to that site for the luxury condo porn. I Imagine one day, that I may get a chance to do more than just look at those astronomically priced, beauties....ahhh

    For real estate porn, The Real Deal and Curbed are even better. They presently have renderings for what the views will be like from units on 57th St, "Billionaires row".

    Brownstoner at least includes some history and architecture pieces. In that way, Brownstoner is akin to Playboy.

    ...whereas Curbed is more akin to a modern x-rated video.

    can we start a Cate is Cute thread with pics of her, or is that considered mysoginistic (sp?)?

    Such pictures would not be random.

    I wonder how much Curbed pays.

    Mod note: it's hard to imagine the relevance of Kate photos to Brooklyn, so I would be inclined to object.

    I think I could make a case that I have experience equivalent to the outgoing director of Curbed, Hana Alberts.
