Speaking of the need for mass execution, another "Fashion Meets Finance" event is on the horizon. This one, billed as the "government bailout edition," is taking place at the Empire Hotel January 22. For those who need a quick refresher, FMF, brought to you by Pocket Change, is the satan sister to "Speed Dating for Rich Older Women and Hot Young Men (Sugar Mamas and Boy Toys)," AKA the greatest spectator sport of all time. FMF is based on the idea that "women in fashion need men who can facilitate their pre-30 marriage/retirement plan, and men in finance need women who will allow them to leverage their career in their dating equity." I know what you're thinking, that a) this event sounds like a spiked catheter to the urethra and b) its entire premise is ruined by virtue of the fact that we live in a very different world than the first time this convention of horrific humans came out last June, and investment bankers now have an annual take home of about 30k. But the organizers are one step ahead of you, noting on the event's site, "Ladies, they still make so much more than the guys in advertising." PocketChange founder Jeremy Ableson explains below, in the audio equivalent of what the night will be like. I think we can all appreciate that this thing is Social Darwinism at work, and throw some gratitude at PC and JA for rounding all these people up into one place (not that we're suggesting anything illegal...).

stop the madness bessy! this is a fraud, a sham (not to be confused with a sham-wow or snuggie). let's be clear, the girls that actually "work" in fashion are not hot - models are hot, that's why they are in front of the camera and not behind or on the side of one!
...and first, b1tches!

2: It must be easier to not be an "ultra shallow loser" when everyone around you is morbidly obese.

Have they not realized that this is taking place on a THURSDAY night and that anyone who actually had a secure job in Finance would most likely be working? This sounds more like Fashion Meets Lehman

Jeremy Abelson is a kid who prob comes from money, lives/lived in Murray Hill, does pot and drugs, cheated on numerous girls, and who was prob a huge dick in high school.
He probably never worked hard a day in his life, which is why he started Pocketchangenyc w/ daddy's money.
Whoooo! I feel better.

The attendee list is quite amusing. Whoever is screening registrants clearly has no idea that it's Deutsche Bank, not "Doche Bank."

@18, no more eggnog for you. And probably no nookie aside from what your hairy, bloody dragged knuckles can keep providing.

I think its funny that you don't even have to prove that you work in finance to go to the function. I see a kid on here that I went to college with who couldnt pass a derivatives class... He says he works for Deutsche Bank as an analyst but he would be lucky to write payroll for H&R Block.
Also, WTF is up with people from TD Ameritrade classifying themselves as Investment Bankers (if you dont believe me look at the RSVP list on the website)
