The room is set up similar to a cooking show, with a chef up front and chairs set up for the audience to observe. Moving quickly, she makes Mandalay, tossing brown noodles, chicken, vegetables into one skillet and tofu and bamboo shoots into another.

Forgive me, but I fail to see the connection between your conclusion that "people in New York assume fashion is for the 30-and-over crowd" and the sentences that follow, which outline your contempt for networking in your Sept. 19 article, "Selling youth to old people."
