Merrell, a 27-year-old model and actor, and Saathoff, a 26-year-old model-turned-agent, have been renting their spacious digs for almost a year. The apartment is a serious upgrade from the first space the roommates shared, when signed with Next Model Management. “The agency gave us a 500-square-foot apartment, and we had a bunkbed,” recalls Saathoff, who will be featured on Logo’s forthcoming reality show Kept, about the privileged lives of gay New York socialites (which premieres in October). “It was exactly like Zoolander,” jokes Merrell.

Angel Street Thrift Shop (118 W 17th St between Sixth and Seventh Aves; 212-229-0546, angelthriftshop.org) "It's like Housing Works, but even better," says Saathoff.

The Company Store (thecompanystore.com) Merrell is a big fan of this e-commerce site. "It's the best for bedding, pillows and towels," he says, "and they have sales all the time."

Hell's Kitchen Flea Market (39th St between Ninth and Tenth Aves; 212-243-5343, hellskitchenfleamarket.com) More than 50 vendors hawk vintage goodies at this year-round outdoor market. "I go there just to walk around all day long and pick up things," says Saathoff.
