[The quintessential Hamptons Summer share house]

It's never too early to start thinking of summer.  And, with this year's recession, and a subsequential slow down in summer share houses, we are predicting an even better season for our interns out east (though they have quite the competition to live up to!)  So, who's going to be heading to the Hamptons this year?  We are certain we will be seeing some old favorites such as Mr. Pink Elephant, Team Surflodge, and even La Playa perhaps; but word is there will also be a couple of new faces on the scene.  But will they survive?  Will the infamous share houses that are known to be the #1 proprietors of such nightlife places be able to continue to live up to their summer routines? These are questions that we are curious to get answered, and we will come May.  However, until then, we wanna know...Are you going to be heading out East this summer?

Do you feel like you are constantly behind on the internet?  You just figured out how to use Facebook from the last relaunch, and now they are changing it up on you again?  You finally learned what re-tweeting meant, you are starting to understand the ins and outs of a tumblr dashboard, and you think you are pretty good about iPhone apps...but it NEVER.ENDS.

Trust us, we've all been there.  SO, a present for those of you who are in need of reminiscing on some simpler times.  The Gawker homepage from Feb. 6, 2003.  Click on the photo at the left to be redirected to the actual archived page and HAVE FUN! Then compare it to today's version.

Thanks Peter Feld! You just made our day!

In case you missed Spencer Morgan's satisfying piece for the Observer on David Webb, "Beautiful Banker Yields Interest: Life After Goldman Is A Catwalk," I suggest you give it a gander.  If only to get a chance to see how one goes about humanizing the men who are now, more than ever, lost in translation; or at least one of them. (HINT: they are so lost that they think hanging out with Neel Shah is hip, can you imagine)?!  My critique lies in the fact that we are supposed to believe it's RARE to have a young, good looking guy in finance playing up his "artsy-ness."  More»

The Tribeca Ball at the New York Academy of Art took place Monday night inviting a huge crowd of supporters behind its doors for a true NYAA experience. Guests were in for a very interactive evening as they were invited to tour the school's five floors visiting studios, posing for portraits, and even painting nude models. Committee member Isabelle Wilkinson told GofaG that Justin Timberlake got a tour of the school from contemporary artist, Will Cotton while Bill Clinton stopped by after dinner to greet guests. According to The Huffington Post, the former Pres created quite the stir:

"What's this?" you ask, "An early glimpse of what's to come at the Jersey Shore this summer?" Oh no. This, GofG reader, is a look at a rare breed of species known as the bogan, captured by The Cobrasnake on his current trip to Australia. These dudes are the Aussie answer to the guido, clearly. Bling? Check. Wifebeater? Check. Pencil-thin eyebrows? Check. Perma-tan? Check. Aussies... they're just like us!
