OFFICIAL RESPOSE

All,
There has been much speculation about the legitimacy of the Fashion Meets Finance RSVP list. The approval process for attendance is simple; attendees submit their information online then at the door, we check ID's and cross reference with business cards. If a female is not actually in fashion or a male is not actually in finance, they are not allowed in - this includes a guy in IT support at JPM. Our door policy is extremely strict.
This event has been running and growing successfully for years based on continued attendance and word of mouth promotion. Anyone who has been to an event in the past understands the RSVP is user-generated, non-censored content and that the attendees are strictly men of finance and women of fashion. Past attendees have reported overwhelming satisfaction with the caliber and legitimacy of the crowd. If we were concerned about people's interpretation of the RSVP list, we would have removed The Million Dollar Man, Steve Urquelle, and I think we all could have predicted that the real Steve "Stevie" Cohen wouldn't be in attendance.
This meager attempt at a smear campaign was launched by Jennifer Goldzer ... (teal dress below). She claims her photo was used in a bogus RSVP. We have no idea where it came from...perhaps one of her friends, or from someone who wanted to misrepresent the caliber of expected attendees...who knows (we do not condone this activity and with our door qualifications, we strive to provide the highest quality event). Jennifer represents a dying species of dinosaur publicists that just don't understand "that internet" and in this case, the principals of user generated content. She continues to pursue a completely asinine smear campaign about a promotion that thrives on negative attention. Am I missing something, is this one of my interns trying to propel the campaign or does Jennifer really not comprehend publicity.
