If at first you don't succeed, take off your clothes
From today's Times:
You’re trying to sell units in a large condo project, but housing’s in the doldrums.
Don’t get depressed. Get undressed.
The Arbors at Branch Creek, a condo conversion project at 12401 W. Hillsborough Ave. near Westchase, has launched a parallel Web site that markets the property as a nude hideaway.
The new name: Eden. As in Adam and Eve and the fig leaf.
“Shed your inhibitions. Set yourself free. Live and love as nature intended. Escape to Eden,” the Web site announces to images of shapely, and mostly clothed, models.
A sales woman at the Arbors denied knowledge of a nude makeover. In its prenaked incarnation, The Arbors advertised 1- to 3-bedroom units for up to $200,000. Eden advertises nude sunbathing, an 11-acre lake and an “adults-only clothing optional swimming pool."
