A Fashioned Panel

doutzen demarchelier.jpgYou must’ve read about the unemployed twins from Ohio in this weekend’s New York Times by now. If not, you can here, here or here.
Anyway, this one’s for them.
On Wednesday, October 28th, Ladies Lotto, a networking group for professional women, is hosting a panel called Behind the Beast.
A panel of experts, including the Editorial Director of Refinery29, the Fashion Editor of Self, a publicist, a trend forecaster and even an MTV VJ will talk about how to break into the industry, despite the tough economic times, and what to do once you’re in.
The moderated discussion, and the cocktails after, will give you a chance to ask questions of a pretty diverse group of women and gain some insight into both magazines and blogs, as well as the PR side of the industry.
The event’s at the Tribeca Grand; it’s $15 and you have until October 27 to RSVP to rsvpnyc@ladieslotto.com.

Excuse me but i don’t feel sorry for these twins. i live in nyc, i’m 25, and spent my first two years here waitressing, not making $800 a week and not living on the UWS. I now have a desk job and while i don’t love it, at least i have one. i still don’t make $800 a week and i still haven’t found a job in my “field”.
since when does going to school for something mean you’re guaranteed a job in that area when you graduate?
plus, their favorite blog is deadspin.

ah yes the poor little girls who dare call themselves unemployed while making $800/ a week. makes me want to slap them a little. I work 50 hrs/week and have no benefits because i freelance. I didn’t have health insurance for about 4 yrs when i first moved here…I survived.
this is what NYC is for – to chew up and purge brats like that. The girls are just not getting the hint. Off you go back to Ohio, publicity whores. and please don’t try to take away jobs from new yorkers who are actually busting their asses to make it here.
thnx.

I think this event sounds like a good idea. I don’t live in NYC so I can’t make it, any chance on reporting on it?

AGREED first two commenters. that was the first thing i noticed while skimming the article. W. 73rd Street & unemployed? Please. Tell that to my 3 jobs I need to keep my shitty apartment in the Bronx.
