There are certain things that make you a real Hamptonite. A beach parking permit, multiple Alec Baldwin anecdotes, a really strong conviction about the proper way to say 'Napeague,' and countless miles racked up crawling along the LIE. Sorry, but if you're flying out on a helicopter, you just don't make the cut.
Anyone who's spent more than their fair share of time in traffic en route to their Hamptons haven will recognize this big bright beacon of hope: Linda Scott's 'The Stargazer.'
The nearly 50-foot-tall famous red sculpture, which let's be real, looks like an abstract, chic version of the Chick-Fil-A logo, is actually a deer with an antler in its mouth looking up to the sky.
I know. I just blew your mind. Feel free to take a second to calm down.
Sat in a field in Eastport, the sculpture isn't just a striking, beautiful piece of public art, it's a happy signal for many a weary driver that The Hamptons are finally within reach.
Hamptons mainstay and hostess extraordinaire Chefanie Nass has just unveiled a most brilliant nod to the iconic landmark - her Gates of Paradise Cocktail Napkins!
The embroidered linen napkins are definitely a must-have for any well-appointed Hamptons home, not to mention a real litmus test for guests.
If you know, you know!
