Consider migrating to the sunny uplands of Te Motu Kairangi. We have famous film makers and footballers, beautiful beaches and its foodie heaven. Leave dreary, misty and damp Karori for the balmy climes of Miramar or Seatoun. We have designer doggies galore with owners who never stoop to pick up their mess (ah, perhaps not a selling point). True there are occasional gusts of wind but we are closer to perfection, and the airport than Karori, although you are nearer to the cemetery. Also bear in mind the added frisson of first to see the tsunami. Finally, a good selection of heavily rated housing is available.
Quote of the week for me..."I lost all posture and possibly, I drooled." 🤣
There's a NY equivalent of Selling Sunset - don't ask me what it's called but my 22 year old son is obsessed and made us watch episodes when he was home recently. Addictive, but you just know that's time lost for ever.
The whole thing is TRASH. Apparently Selling Sunset is based on The Parisian Agency, the French equivalent, which is full of tasteful rich people. Nothing ever happens, except they keep stopping sales for meals
This was very relatable. Not just because my hairdresser is in Brandon St and sprays me with industrial strength spray so that I maintain some style at least as far as Featherston St. But also because I have recently succumbed to real-estate porn shows. A collegue got me hooked on the Parisian Agency, which is an absolute delight! Then I abased myself by watching Buying Beverly Hills. It's sound very similar to Selling Sunset but with some added nepotism amongst the agents. Your description of the houses and your reaction to them is similar to mine. The excess of wealth and bad taste is...excessive. The things we do to ourselves in Winter to stave off SAD. I'm now seeking a real estate show set on the French and Italian Riviera. Let me know if you find one.
Watch The Parisian Agency on Netflix. It's definitely a palate cleanser! And the homes are so much more interesting, although Parisians seem fine with very poky kitchens.
´I watched all seven seasons in the space of two weeks and still, it wasn’t enough to satisfy my dislike.´ Ha! This is why I know I must never start watching it.
Love the contrast between real life soggy Wellington and escapist sunny California.

Love your work Leah.
Snortle! You make a compelling case!! I always enjoy Miramar, and used to take the kids to the garden centre cafe when they were tiny

Karori sunsets. Ah the sunsets
YES! I keep dragging the kids to the window to see them

I bet we have the same stylist!!!!
The Parisian Agency is so lovely. What a great family. I know there are more seasons that aren't on Netflix yet.
The forecast looks better for next week - and at least we don't have snow or -10C for days in a row.
True, Barbara. The sun came out this weekend and it's glorious

Hope the sun peeps out for you soon.
Thank you, Wendy! You are wise not to debase yourself with Selling Sunset. These people shouldn't be encouraged
