<p><strong>Atoosa Rubenstein, </strong>everyone's favorite cat lady, is moving her growing brood into bigger digs.</p>
<p>Ms. Rubenstein and commodities-trader husband <strong><em></em>Ari</strong> have purchased a palatial 4,300-square foot spread at <strong>535 West End Avenue</strong>, city records show.</p>
<p>Ms. Rubenstein, the former whiz-kid editor of <em>Seventeen</em> and <em>CosmoGIRL!, </em>left the industry six years ago to start Big Momma Productions, a consultancy of sorts that appears to have done little other than maintain a vestigial web presence. Now she has three children, a rich husband and brand new condo on the Upper West Side.<!--more--></p>

<p>Ms. Rubenstein may have left the hyper-competitive realm of tween magazines, but who says you can't be just as ambitious when it comes to home buying/making?</p>
<p>These days Ms. Rubenstein passes time keeping busy with the kids, doing lots of different types of yoga and, <a href="http://www.fashionweekdaily.com/the-fix/article/atoosa-rubenstein-uncensored">as she told Fashion Weekly Daily last September</a>, "I'm fornicating!"</p>
<p>Good thing her new Extell condo has five bedrooms. There are also five baths and a 40-foot long corner living room, according to the listing, held by Brown Harris Stevens brokers <strong>Lisa Lippman</strong> and <strong>Scott Moore. </strong>It's a big upgrade from the Rubensteins' <a href="http://observer.com/2007/09/imeowi-alpha-kitty-atoosa-rubenstein-to-nest-in-enormous-3-m-flatiron-salon/">3,000-square foot loft at West 18th Stree</a>t, which <a href="http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2012/05/atoosa-rubenstein-selling-baggage-free-condo.html">sold last spring for $4 million</a>.</p>
<p>This new place (also Extell) cost the Rubensteins a lot of catnip—a whopping <strong>$8.8 million</strong>. But there comes a time in every young woman's life when she realizes that it's time to leave the Flatiron loft and move into the Upper West Side prewar.</p>
<p>Best of all, Ms. Rubenstein's new place is way fancier than the <a href="http://observer.com/2012/12/elle-editor-in-chief-robbie-meyers-gets-glossy-spread-on-uws/">$1.92 million apartment that <em>Elle</em> editor</a> Roberta Myers bought in December, also on West End Avenue.</p>
<p>The Rubensteins' apartment will be a nice place for the growing family to stretch out, just like a cat in a patch of sun. <strong></strong>Best of all, the Rubensteins managed to talk the developer down considerably from the <strong>$9.4 million </strong>ask. Thatta girl power guru!</p>
