It is prostitution that they are proud of. The reason Wall Street guys seek out such women is because most of them prostitute themselves on the job and feel the need to seek like company. They know that the girls are with them for the money but they feel more confident that way because at least they understand what she is after. The wheeler dealer economy turns the best and brightest into whores who suck and f^ck for bucks. It is only wrong if you do not make enough money or you blow it all on smack or crack and such.
Have you seen the pics? As far as I can tell, they already have that chubby haggard look of a suburban housewife. But you raise an interesting point because there really is a shrill note of desperation in their voices. When a girl hits her late twenties and there is no sign that she will close the deal, it becomes problematic because at that point, never mind about getting a banker boyfriend, slipping into slinky white satin for the big day will start to seem remote. The theme that runs consistently through the blog is how none of them are getting married to their dream rich guy anytime soon. FBF keeps getting donked to a BF and finally just F if they are still worth a smile.
You're right.... Usually the only time you see the older ones stay in the game is because they have a nice fat alimony check coming in from their first marriage, so they have more staying power to hang out in the more exclusive circles... But if they don't have that first marriage by their late twenties...it gets pretty iffy for them. Prospects get grim from that point forward.
You would need to become an expert on Ramen noodles if you tried to live in Manhattan on what a beauty writer gets paid and dumpster diving is a must for the honest girl who works those few and infrequent gigs that the fashion industry throws up every now and then. Everyone else is a banker/lawyer/accountant/consultant type and those girls age almost perceptibly one month into the job. The more you rub those Herman Miller chairs the bigger your butt is going to become. What bothers me is that these girls are not half as pretty as they think they are. Yet they are narcissistic enough to insist on the princess treatment simply because they are self indulgently promiscuous.
Those girls have been taken over by The Fear <object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/q-wGMlSuX_c&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/q-wGMlSuX_c&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object> Heard this song on the radio yesterday, cool lyrics : 'I am a weapon of massive consumption!', that line does sound like my wife
haha, yeah, they are starting to look like that.... Right now all they have to offer is their looks (although I believe this is girl's best asset), but nothing of a lasting value. Also reading through the lines, it seems that their good looks are pretty costly (botox treatments, spas etc), some of them probably look like crap without all that stuff....wait till they're 35-40 without $$$ also you mentioned narcissistic later on, I agree, and we all know where the narcissist will end up one day: they will have to either accept the reality and change, or live a very miserable life blaming everyone but themselves.
http://pocketchangenyc.com/fmf/index.php where to find the golddiggers.... surf Dear Wall Street, Life may be tough, and your industry might be crumbling, but what you need to realize is that the implications of this crisis for the rest of New York society are even more intense. You Bankers are the core of our ecosystem, the top of the food chain. And when there are less lions hunting, the natural balance is destroyed and next thing you know advertising guys are picking up tens at 1Oak buying drinks from the bar. Pathetic. Without you, there's chaos, and hot women don't know where to turn. In the next year there will be too many hot girls that were supposed to marry bankers making the life-long decision to settle with consultants, accountants, and lawyers? Its unnatural and unfair. There literally cannot be another newspaper article about how you have all moved back to Connecticut to tend bar or work in corporate development at Denny's. Bankers do not work on a 100% salary-based compensation structure! It is traumatizing. Please, get yourselves together. Yesâyou got hit. Perhaps a certain form of derivative you dedicated your entire life to understanding the intricacies of is now obsolete. Maybe the crucial part of "Leveraged Finance" doesn't really exist anymore. Or worst case scenario, you now work at Bank of America. Madoff / Satyam / Auto industry â it's a fucking mess. We understand things are suboptimal. Even you Buy Side guys are having a hard time conjuring up deal flow and fudging 40% losses so they look like twenty. But New York City needs you all right now. The world needs you right now. This crisis is causing serious identity issuesâfor what are we, if not your shadows? Fortunately, this note is both a plea and an invitation. We would normally look to you to solve all our problems for us, but, in true Nationalized America spirit, it's the government that is helping address this more significant, social aspect of the economic downturn. As part of the mysteriously allocated $700B bailout package, funds have been appropriated to FashionMeetsFinance to help bail Wall Street out, emotionally. On January 22nd, we will be celebrating finance. With expensive whiskeys, truffled everything, and, most importantly, beautiful girls from the fashion industry, we will remind you what it truly means to be a financier. You will reassert your crucial role in New York City's pecking order, and even though Broad & Wall is about as dry as the homeland of some dude in IT, you will make it rain. Order will be restored. Things may be tough right now, but we're rooting for you Wall Street. Keep the brand alive. Sincerely, FashionMeetsFinance
