Picture 1837.pngSpeaking of dying in an electrical fire, the third “Fashion Meets Finance” event is coming up. This one, thrown in celebration of the recession supposedly being over, is taking place at Nikki Beach on August 6th. For those who buried the memory of just what this gathering entails, 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.” Does the pressing issue of $0-ish bonuses throw a wrench in things? The rètards who organized the event say no.

2008 was a confusing time, but we are here to announce the balance is restoring itself to the ecosystem of the New York dating community. We fear that news of shrinking bonuses, banks closing and the Dow plummeting confused the gorgeous women of the city who understood that their shelf life is quick and fleeting like a senator’s South American love affair. The uncertainty caused panic which caused irrational decisions – there’s going to be a two year blip in the system where a hot fashion girl might commit to a pharmaceutical salesman (this is so much worse than the expected guy selling mortgages at JP Morgan Chase convincing a fashion girl he’s actually in finance).
Fashion Meets Finance has returned to let the women of fashion know that the recession is officially over. It might be a year before bonuses start inflating themselves again, but it will happen. Invest in the future; feel confident in your destiny. Hold on. It will only be a couple more years until you can quit your job and become a tennis mom.

Who can you expect to be in attendance? Dennis Kneale, for one, who enjoys attending conferences of like-minded tail. The rest of the RSVP list is here. A lot of (alleged) JPMorgan employees, a Morgan Stanley MD, and a Citadel “associate” playing it fast and loose with the top buttons.

    Don’t they mean a ‘Governer’s South American’ love affair?

    There’s going to be some MD’s pissed off at their associates and analysts for being on there . . .

    In Firefox, go to the RSVP list, press Ctril + a few times to zoom in the pics and the text. Much easier to browse. I think I qualify as an “unemployment insurance instrument collection specialist.”

    What kind of gold digging could POSSIBLY go on here?! All these idiots are in ops. To be fair though, the girls are pretty JV also — bunch of girls in JV jobs in fashion/PR. Pathetic. I guess 2s attract 2s.

    Absolutely not. Even if the list was chock full o’ leggy model types I wouldn’t wanna be in the same neighborhood. Only thing worse than hot vapid whores and those who chase them is not-so-hot of the same (on both sides).

    @ 47,48,49 & 52.
    Don’t worry, the retard @ 46 is full of it; the French word for “lateness” is retard, and the state is “en retard”; the ‘e’ in both noun and verb neither take any accent so tell that guy to fuck off. Oh, the other part of this is hopefully of value -cultural addition- for 32: up here, we call “FUPA” GUNT which is 1/2 gut and 1/2 cunt, don’t know if you like that one, but hey, thought I’d try and add some value… The politically correct call it “mooseknuckles”, most Cdn girls have it.
