The Seven Deadly Sins in Los Angeles: Envy

Share on StumbleUpon Add to del.icio.us Share on Facebook

When you really think about it, envy isn't all that bad. If it weren't for this supposed cardinal sin, none of us would be inspired to try and better ourselves, using other people as a barometer for their own personal achievements and success. Or so I tell myself when I hate on people who have lots of money, drive around in luxury cars and snub all those who are of a lower socioeconomic level than they.

Envy

The act of desiring something and wishing other people to be deprived of it.

Envy makes everything worthwhile.

Envy the Beautiful

Dr 90210

1125 S Beverly Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90035

Apparently despite his ass-clownish antics on TV, this buffoon has some small measure of skill in his chosen profession. Watching him energetically liposuction a client’s stomach literally made me die a little inside, but after seeing the results on these women, I just might say it’s worth it.

Envy Records

In the heart of Inglewood (always up to no good) be sure to lock it up after dark. Would suggest that the lesser the melanin content in your body the earlier you get out of this neighborhood. wink wink

Envy the Rich

David Geffen's Beach House

22126 Pacific Coast Hwy Malibu, CA 90265

As described in another of my guides, this guy is rich as fuck… there really is no other way to describe the vulgarity of his wealth. Which makes me jealous beyond description.

Bill Cosby

1500 Sorrento Dr. Pacific Palisades, CA 90272

Known for his gosh-darnit ways (and illegitimate children) Bill Cosby lives in the lap of luxury in this mountainous beach villa. I’ve asked him on several occasions when passing by for unsolicited parenting advice, but still he remains mum on the subject.

Envy the Lifestyle

Ferrari of Beverly Hills

9372 Wilshire Blvd, Beverly Hills, CA 90212

Very few automobiles inspire as much egregious envy as the Ferrari line of sports cars. Notoriously unpredictable, flagrantly overpriced and gaudy in the extreme, nevertheless the panty-dropping powers of this line of vehicles knows no bounds.

Brioni Beverly Hills Inc

337 N Rodeo Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210

I like how Kirk Krikorian, worth 9.4 billion dollars (much less I’m sure after GM’s recent terrible run) drives inexpensive cars like Ford Tauruses and Jeeps but drops $20,000 for each suit painstakingly made at Brioni Clothiers. My sartorial dream is to one day own one bespoke suit from this designer… pfft, even a pocket square is way out of my pay scale.

Envy

322 S Market St, Inglewood, CA 90301

Sunday nights at Club Sevilla is entitled Envy… I noticed that this place was extremely gay friendly as evidenced by the sea of shirtless men, all dancing wildly with their thumbs in their belt loops.

Schaudenfreude

The enjoyment taken from the misfortune of others.  I think this speaks volumes about the Germans considering they have a word for something like this.
