According to the preordained order of things, men who work in finance (that's pronounced fih-NANCE, thank you very much) and women who work in fashion are meant to be together. It's our experience that men who work with money tend to put a premium on women they can buy; it's also our experience that women who work with clothes and shiny things are often willing to be bought. (We're grossly generalizing, of course, but observational data does back this up.) Which means you could call "Fashion Meets Finance"—the latest match-making event from the minds who brought you the similarly themed "Rich Old Guys With Hot Young Chicks" and "Rich Old Women With Hot Young Dudes" speed dating events—another can't miss attempt at carefully engineered social Darwinism.

The premise is pretty simple: Throw banker dudes into a room with fashion publicists and Bloomingdales buyers and watch the sparks fly.

Complimentary Rolling Rocks and wine will be served to ensure that this meeting of the minds goes smoothly. Judging from the gender breakdown found on the RSVP, it appears males and females are equally interested in participating in this shameless exercise in suitable mate-hunting, though we couldn't help but notice that some participants aren't above telling some casual white lies to stand out in the competition. (Sorry, Joseph Heilbronner, but there's no way in hell you're making "$300,000-$499,99" as a "Research Analyst" at JP Morgan.)

More to the point: can't you guys do this on your own time in the Meatpacking District?
