The Deal

Vany from Essen - I can’t stop looking at her picture. Reminds me of someone, which is probably why. She’s one of about forty girls applying for these bebe apartments, and right now the whole internet’s voting on whether they make the cut. Friday’s the deadline, final decision July 13th.

It’s peak early 2000s internet culture. The premise is stupid and perfect: hot girls in shared apartments, public voting, beautiful girls get picked based on looks. No framing, no pretense - that’s just the deal. You wouldn’t package it like this now, but back then it was… honest. What you see is what you get.

The funny part is how the original post handles it. The blogger’s obviously into Vany, then does this thing where he’s like, I’m not going to push you to vote for her (VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!) because I’m being totally neutral. It’s self-aware about the whole stupid beautiful mess and doesn’t apologize for it. That’s the real energy.
