Dawn Spinner Davis In The Better (Economic) Times

[Dawn Spinner Davis, Steve Lewis, and myself back in 2004]

When I first transplanted into the city in 2004 from Nebraska, the first person I met was Uncle Steve Lewis, and the second was Dawn Spinner Davis. I was of course known as “Omaha”, and we….err she has recently has been making headlines in the NYTimes and the blogosphere as a member of Dating a Banker Anonymous (DABA). She is, according to Gawker: the “Sad Symbol of Our Times”

I can’t attest to that, I know Dawn as a very sweet girl, I was friends with her mainly because she was the OPPOSITE of the kind of person that these publications are portraying her as. I for one know first hand about the ways journalists may spin what you say to fit a story they are trying to create, and I’m sure this happens to be the case for Dawn, who is waiting for this whole thing to just blow over. As for her marriage? They still look and seem to be the perfect pair…..

I had a lot of harmless fun going to dinners, fashion shows, and out with Dawn and Steve (we even went to the zoo!). NYC can be a very scary place when you first move here, and they were incredibly supportive friends of mine. So….lay off Dawn Spinner, and her banker wife friends, and have a happy Friday!

uncle steve.. January 30, 2009 4:31pm	dawn spinner is creative, intelligent , honorable and focused. she is a fantastic person. i am very happy for her success which she worked very hard for.

It’s sad that blandness from the midwest can get so self-entitled, greedy and souless in such record time. Though perhaps you were that way in the corn fields of Nebraska…..I’d suggest Dawn’s husband divorce her, but from the sound of him, he sounds like he deserves a golddigger like her. Btw, im a hot young woman who makes her own cash and has an MBA so you can’t play the bitter girl card.
Jacob January 31, 2009 5:28am	Yeah, in that New York Times article they were damning themselves with their own words. The takeaway was that this was a bunch of spoiled gold-diggers whose affections only come at a price—one that had better be doled out daily. When speaking of supporting her husband she says “It’s not what I signed up for.”… real classy there Dawn. Sounds like prostitution hidden behind a wedding ring.
Over It! January 31, 2009 2:39pm	They don’t look so flush to me. I hope that’s not their HOME they’re standing in — yikes! Is he wearing a Budweiser t-shirt and prepping a keg?? I thought “dabas” were bottle service types. They need help learning how to spend their money…or rather, they did when they actually had it. It sucks, the situation the world is in, but I just laugh at people like this who had placed cash at the center of their universes and now…well, now what???
She Hardly Looks Like A Spinner To Me February 3, 2009 4:36am	Give the poor girl a break - She obviously had the whole wedding planned WAY before September - Hope she didn’t already quit Lucky… The sad thing here is that these girls weren’t embarrassed by this article in the slightest. On the contrary - you just know they all sent out group texts announcing that their photo was in the Times. Here’s my question: Aren’t their mothers embarrassed by their daughter’s transparent materialism and quid pro quo sexuality? On the other hand, these girls had to learn this behavior somewhere - call me old fashioned, but I never figured those mother-daughter talks involved how-to tips on sucking MBA cock… And not for nothing, but I’m pretty sure this whole financial crisis thing will probably “blow over” way before your little friend’s good name is cleared - unfortunately she seems to have contracted a nasty case of the google herpes… Sometimes it really is better to stay silent and let people think you’re a vapid gold digger…
