Wrapping up summer 2011 is of course the prestigious Hampton Classic. Irene tried to ruin it for us this year, but the equestrian community is fearless, and kept their cool for a few days until both the tents
for the horses and vendors, and the power were back up and running. More»

Wampum skate shop opened it's doors last night with booze, tunes and skate videos. Brothers Marley and Lennon Ficalora hosted a slew of creative talent in their shop, including artists (of which painted and carved skateboard decks that hung from the walls and paintings that were created on site) and fellow Hamptons skaters and surfers.

Sorry celebrities, but you and your stuffyness can go somewhere else because Peter Brant doesn't want you. According to the Post, Brant wants Bridgehampton Polo to become more "swanky" socialite scene and less of a "champagne-swilling" crowd. Now that Neil Hirsch is gone (Brant bought Hirsch's interest) Brant can make all the calls he wants! More»

Sept 26-28th is The Bridgehampton Historical Society's Car Road Rally Weekend in and they are kicking the weekend off right with a Drive-In Movie night that Friday. Myself, an AVID fan of the Drive In experience, I am more than disappointed that I will be away for this event (please do these earlier in the summer next year??) Bring your Vintage Car for free admission and popcorn around 7:30. Oh and make sure to RSVP as space is limited!

I know, I am pretty cool. Thanks be to the tipster who informed me of BHamp library's free wifi. This library sprawls about its small, well-landscaped lot, and it has squashy armchairs inhabited by dozing, horn-rimmed elderly. I haven't had time to check out the selection yet, but I'm definitely digging the slightly fusty vibe, and the fact that, apart from yours truly's, there is not an electronic device to be seen.

Plus the yard has a nearly full bike-rack, and three of the bikes have wicker baskets. Where did they get them??? And why did I forget my camera? Anyway, Rachelle and I testing out the beds at Surf Lodge tonight, but from here on out, this libary's going to be my office. If you're bored, feel free to come say hello!

Lovely. This makes me feel doze-off-in-a-sunlit-hammocky.

This week the red-headed RHONY dishes on Governors, Gin Lane, and more online dating...

One of the benefits of buying on Gin Lane is the entertaining value of reciprocating and building your network.
When we left [the Land Rover Event] we were presented with a photo album with our picture already in it. Now that was class.
Sleep and try to wake up naturally. If you need an alarm to wake up go to bed earlier until you figure out how to wake up without an alarm
My staple advice is to continue Internet dating.
If someone says they have someone in mind, follow up until you get that date.
Please don't think being a tourist is a bad thing!
Meeting people is easy. Making friends is a longer process.

This Saturday, the American Heart Association hosted its 12th annual Heart of the Hamptons gala at the Hayground school in Bridgehampton. Local honoree, Christie Brinkley looked fabulous despite the personal heartache she has been under lately. Above she poses with Alexa Ray Joel.
