Just in case the news that Lloyd Blankfein was sticking around for another two years didn't tip you off that the Recession Is Over, the Post reports that after a one year hiatus, the infamous Fashion Meets Finance parties are back. Unfortunately they may be lacking in '"finance," as one female attendee told the paper "I met a bunch of lawyers and a few guys who work for City HalI." Ouch! But at least she's honest as to why she digs suits: "they have so much power." Yeah, forget those weak City Hall types.
For those too poor and hideous to remember the check-your-business-card-and-salary-at-the-door events, they started in 2007 as a way for men who work in finance to meet the ladies of fashion. Fast forward to this 2009 Times piece featuring an analyst "double-fisting glasses of Johnnie Walker Black" and "dropping the banker bomb," the organizers felt they needed a year to cool their heels before kicking off 2011 at Bar Basque for a Cinco De Mayo party.
But the Post makes the affair sound like a Scarsdale Junior High Breakdancing Contest, as "men stayed on one side of the room, women on the other. Only halfway through did the sides begin to mingle." Oh, those Wall Street types—so bashful! If only they had sugar daddy/sugar baby dating website ("where Romance meets Finance") SugarSugar.com's new smartphone app that allows them to find "mutually beneficial arrangements…right around the corner!" It's for the discerning man who steps out for his dry cleaning and then realizes he needs a blowjob in a The Palm's bathroom. Just remember Sugar Babies, don't put your kids in your profile picture!
