Ghetto-Ville

Our landlord is trying to fix up the apartment so he can sell the place. Lately, he's been replacing all the old, rotting windows, with beautiful new ones. However, I think he forgot one minor detail about the window in the bathroom.... it's completely transparent!!!!! When we mentioned this to him, his solution was for us to go by some kind of paper to put up so that nobody could see through (I think he said onion paper, does that sound right?) However, we still had to shower before we could get to the store and ended up nailing a towel to the window to cover the view of our shower up. Could we be anymore ghetto!!! Ha ha. I constantly have this fear that there is a hole in the towel that I didn't notice or that a random burst of wind will fling the towel up in the air, exposing me to the world. We really don't want to go track down and buy this paper he was talking about, but it would be nice to not have a towel being the only thing keeping me from being embarrassed and shocking some innocent person walking down the street. Any ideas?

How about some curtains? The bonus is that you can take them with you when you leave.

If you want to talk about ghetto. . . In our first apt there was only 1 small window air conditioner, and it was in the family room, so our bed room got SOOO hot, we ended up taping tinfoil to the window to reflect the sun! It was VERY ghetto, but it worked!
