Wife (and house) for sale
Shamelessness (or a lack of any dignity), a crumbling housing market, the desire to be loved and the Internet can be a wicked combination.
At least that’s my read on the case of single Florida mom Deven Traboscia, who has put her house and her love for sale on eBay and Craigslist. In one fell swoop, you can buy a gauche Palm Beach Gardens home and the marriage vows of a Hulk Hogan’s wife starter-kit. And, I hate to be a snob (not really), but “Deven”? Seriously? I think your parents may have misspelled your obviously-soap-opera-inspired name. Only in Florida.
To steal a phrase from W. Somerset Maugham, “Florida is a sunny place for shady people.”
Ms. Traboscia, a real estate agent, offers up the following delicious piece of enticement in her post:
“If you want to live the never ending dream and experience the real love, life and the romance you have always felt was a fairytale then this is the vibrant outstanding woman of your dreams! To sweep this European Loving Lady off her feet send in your application right now.”
Ah, the never-ending dream, indeed.
Traboscia says that her 2,000-square-foot house features updated tile and Berber carpet. Berber carpet?! Now that changes everything.
I am sure her kids won’t have much trouble living this one down at school.
Check out the video from ABC Action News in Florida below. Oh, and Deven, you may want to mix in some SPF 45 with that Rawlings glove-tanning oil you apparently use each day. (In related news, the Bennigan’s on Barton Springs Road has closed. For serious. Looks like Deven will be skipping SXSW next year.)
