Reminds me of @IrinaLitchfield‘s *problem*@ ;#SXSW #finTech. I love solving messy credit stains & ducking Bk, avoiding 9’s #duckBk #prodMgmnt twitter.com/coolprodexp/st…

So, a problem at a #SXSW event was @IrinaLitchfield‘s sheer silk blouse. It had a massive orange cream stain from the chicken satay (on-a-stick) at the Financial Luminaries event at 200 Congress. Day 3; FinTexas event #4 of 7.

#fintechLuminaries @IrinaLitchfield, do you have a pic of your shirt w/the orange cream stain before & after on-site stain removal? Lost. pic.twitter.com/YtP4ATiyiz

 

Irina Litchfield (@IrinaLitchfield)
@LarryChiang I don’t, somebody was taking pictures though. I wonder if it surfaces . Are you still in Austin?
