fashion meets finance dating event

the title of this thread is so horrible, nice work.

sweet fancy jesus in commes des garcons, does this sound evil or what

ladies, you no longer need to worry that the cute guy in the bar works in advertising

"Could not have had a better time at the party, late night and again the next morning. That’s all I need to know to clear my calendar for the next one. The ladieswere exquisite!"

-Kevin Arnot

I hope he introduced himself to them all going "I have a snake. Thank you very much!"

"purifying the dating pool" is just about the creepiest way to put it.

rename thread "capitalism meets eugenics dating event" y/n?

Fashion is tough, you're over the hill five years out of college???

women be shopping!

so wait, is this just a thinly veiled sugardaddy model-meets-stockbroker event, or do they mean fashion industry professionals *besides* models? doesn't change much but still...

ah, question answered

C'mon, these people deserve each other.

i don't think the fashion people will be ok with moving to westchester or darien to reproduce.

who do the doctor and lawyerers get to date?

each other, usually

Wasn't it all about not wearing scrunchies?

I've noticed you're either preppy/Sloane/borderline aristo and marry a hedge funder or similar who went to one of 10 private high schools (one of which you also attended) or you're edgier and wait to be creative director somewhere, snag a rock star at 35 for his address book and tactfully turn the other cheek while he shags groupies on tour; nb. you are also 'at it' because OMG we sooo decadent in our very modern marriage. I thought this was the prime reason venal young women without large trust funds went to work at Vogue these days. They get divorces the second there's a credit crunch and spend the 18 months preceding same buying all the portable art and jewelry they can because once it's a 'gift' hubby cannot take the Hirst or the Cartier back.

new york is a terrible, terrible place.

is gabb going to this event?!?

nobody's gonna quote the office?

Ryan tells Michael to tell girls he works in finance so he tells them he works in a bank, as a teller.

C'mon, these people deserve each other.

1,000% OTM

gabb is a lawyer, no? not finance or fashion.
xpost

gabb is a lawyer, no?

shhh

sometimes i think that, just maybe, i could work in corporate finance for a couple years (esp if i go to school and need to pay off my loans) but then i realize that i would be working with a bunch of complete tools.

hey gabb do you post to ilx during billable hr time? do you take off 3 minutes here and there or do you just lump it all in?

He'll bill you half an hour to answer that.

...

if one of yer criteria for taking a job is "will not work with complete tools," then you're looking @ some pretty long periods of unemployment!

new yorkplanet earth in 2008 is a terrible, terrible place.

still need to find that zoning commissioner who said it was acceptable to have up to 7 billion people in this joint at a time and hang him while he's on fire

I bet she laffs at all his joeks

oh man someone needs to do a gay verison of this. i'd SO be there.

it reminds of me this one party i always had to go to called "MODELS & BANKERS", which was pretty much same thing. except with 19 year old russian and brazilian d-list models hoping to snag a green card.

it is bizarre that the concept that men should make more money than the women they date or marry still exists in 2008 :/

not all that bizarre

yeah i was wondering if male models ever hook up with female finance execs...

CABANA BOY

Chris Elliott's finest hour. Or quarter of an hour.

my friend's little brother works in finance and says the women who work in finance are "too aggro" to date. so yeah, i think Tom's right...the 50s ring of this dating service is sadly un-bizzare.

maybe i should go. its tonite! i can pretend to be a wealth manager for merill lynch

is gabb going to this event?!?

why would I go to this event, Eisbaer?

haha! too aggro, wear too many pantsuits...

Can't you go as a fashonista and look for a financier hiding his light under a bushel?

xpost

why would I go to this event, Eisbaer?

i'm gonna jump in. it looks like a yuppy dbag event; lazy zing ensues.

it doesn't sound like there are any professionals involved. what line of work are you in, banriquit?

I know creative guys (writers, musicians, etc.) who are with bling lawyer ladies.

i am all for anything that includes the possibility of painting tyra with ultimate warrior face paint xpost

guys let's stop picking on the lawyer

elmo is going in the right direction here

I thought i was defending the layer, us professionals have got to stick together.

I was also thinking maybe some MMA octagon shit
they should have a project runway challenge to design an outfit for UFC fighters

don't worry gneb there is no chartered institute of failing internet culture commentators

It's hard to throw a rock in here without hitting a 'failing internet culture commentator', it appears I had an unlucky heave.

bear stearns fall-winter '09 ready to wear collection: runway show is actually a series of lady wrestling matches, touring malls and convention centers nationwide

special appearance by agnes deyn in a pinstripe vince mcmahon suit

lehman brothers' upping the ante by including fat chicks

That's Agyngnenessss

have you guys seen the sex in the city movie?????

meanwhile, dwayne "the rock" johnson does your taxes while dressed in a Band of Outsiders seersucker singlet

this all sounds like the premise for a pretty good 80s action-horror movie

it's like the fashion show scene from "don't tell mom the babysitter's dead" but it's gone all ravishing rick rude stylee

have you guys seen the sex in the city movie?????

no but I got a kick out of how much andrew sullivan hated it

p.s. the sinister mysterious tyrant, for whom this bloody tournament is waged, is grace jones (as herself)

In New York City you are defined by what you do and the dating world has to follow the same rules.

^did not see before

which finance guy would u blapp?

http://www.fashionmeetsfinance.com/party_pics/051.JPG

is this dude in the closet or what

i am uncertain of the meaning of blapp

like does it mean a violent assault or a sexual assault, perhaps both?

bake like a pumpkin pie?

http://www.fashionmeetsfinance.com/party_pics/Bar_1-31_064.JPG
looks like her head is mechanical and could turn 360º

that orange lady, ickkkkkk

xxpost he is a closet objectum-sexual yes

Remarkably unhot, the lot of them.

I dunno where it came from but "blap" is apparently soulstrut forum-speak for "smash"

where's chip brady in all this? i expected to see him.

gross fancy finance animals

would not blapp

http://www.fashionmeetsfinance.com/party_pics/Bar_1-31_057.JPG
i'd bet money that the girls in this picture are finance girls that somehow snuck in

that last dude is half-alright but his eye is kinda wonky

girl in second pic down is pretty cute

Sarah Paulson?

where did we find this?

Jim's keeping it respectable.

i feel like these dudes' attractiveness to mates should decrease in direct correlation to the success/failure of the stock market

Woman in white bra/black dress above does not work in teh fashion.
