Did you not get the memo? It's part of the fabulous Urban Lifestyle! Bowls of ramen through straws, and bowls of plastic apples on granite - that's what the cool kids are doing. Mainly because they can't afford food, forks, and produce. Dingus, EVERYONE eats noodles through a straw these days. Did you not get the memo? It’s part of the fabulous Urban Lifestyle!

You just know she is thinking "buying this place was supposed to make our lives better" and now here they are on the verge of divorce. I wonder what the ad means by spacious?

Her eyes and face have been told by the photographer to be dreamy and seductive, but her arms are cautiously protective, and wisely so given the James Bond wanna-be bearing down on her. (Daniel Craig version). Perhaps she is a poster child for the ambivalence and caution that is developing for lower mainland condo developments. And perhaps they as a couple are representative of the seductive relationships between developers and consumers that have been playing out through these heady times. Breakfast is gonna be a let down.
