Did you know that there are many apartments in New York City? And that some of these apartments are used by whores? For work (i.e., whoring) purposes? In a piece on illegal uses of apartment buildings (for whore-related activities, among others), The Real Deal introduces us to James Famularo, a senior vice president at New York Commercial Realty Services.

Famularo recalled being approached by a woman who claimed to run a rock 'n' roll PR company; she said she needed a "cool" landlord. "So I met her at a space and she had on these black patent leather boots, there were welts on her legs, she had very white skin and black hair. I was like, if you're a PR firm, you sure don't look like Lizzie Grubman," said Famularo. "I heard one of the girls she brought along saying to her partner, 'This would be a great space for a crucifix.'"

Dude, those were PR people. The crucifix keeps Lizzie Grubman away.
