Well, try this: I can't say for sure what ethnicity she is, but I'd guess she's from south of the border. If that is correct, standing in that entranceway ready to mop up someone's spilled glass of sauvignon blanc is probably preferable to the little or less than what she had back home.<BR/><BR/>If she is a born American, then it's her misfortune to have been born of the underclass. Either way, yes, it is degrading.Rxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-35758636902445272492008-05-22T14:15:00.000-04:002008-05-22T14:15:00.000-04:002008-05-22T14:15:00.000-04:00Why would anyone let themselves be exploited and degraded to be dressed-up in a maid's uniform holding a mop while those yuppies in their khakis sip their cocktails?

I'll just try to visit the places that are still around and the ones that will no longer be around (such as Florent -- I missed the one for Minetta Tavern, Cheyenne Diner) I'm afraid that if I were to go away for the weekend, a shop or a restaurant may have closed to make way for another condo. I try not to turn around or blink an eye anymore. Oh yeah, I'll also visit St. Brigid's before a condo developer "outbids" the anonymous donor (could happen) and does turn the church into a condo.ericenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-6522999716799416142008-05-22T10:04:00.000-04:002008-05-22T10:04:00.000-04:002008-05-22T10:04:00.000-04:00Oh, my god. That Georgica pic, c'mon, it's a promo shot, right, it just can't be real. If it is indeed a promo shot, such as we're seeing for all of these bullshit luxury boxes being constructed, that makes it even more offensive. I mean, that cleaning woman standing forlornly against the wall whilst those of the privileged class (read: white) bask in their entitlement; holding a fucking mop, no less. This is so wrong for so many reasons. I'm sitting here shaking my head in disbelief.
