Happy 4th Of July From The Hamptons!
From: guestofaguest.com
It’s weird but I have a distinct memory of the first time I felt “Patriotic”. I had our nations forefathers’ looking down on me. Literally. I was in Mount Rushmore with my family. I must have been around 7 and, up until then, had heard people speak of being patriotic and nodded confidently in agreement without having a clue what that word meant.

Tips For Getting Past That Door(wo)man
[Line outside Pink Elephant, Capri last Saturday. Photo by Rob Rich]
Here’s an oldie but a goodie…last year we posted on the importance of getting to know your door(wo)man for entry into those hot clubs you kids are dying to let loose in. While the names of some of these places and door guards have changed, the locations are still the same, and the concepts will stand up the test of time for years to come:
1. Don’t name drop the name Rachel Uchitel to Rachel Uchitel at the door of Dune: Her favorite line is “Rachel told me to come by.” “Dude,” she says, “I’m Rachel, and that’s the most idiotic thing you can say.” This season: Just substitute Rich Thomas in for Rachel. We have even heard that line dropped outside Dune two weekends ago.
2. Don’t roll up with six guys (must keep a good ratio!), or ask Michealangelo L’Acqua at Dune if he knows who your daddy is:”If you roll up with six guys, chances are I won’t let you in unless you’re willing to spend money for a table. I don’t like baseball caps or fraternity looks. For girls, I like it light and beachy, not a lot of makeup.” L’Acqua’s least favorite gambit: “Do you know who my dad is? Seriously this is the stupidest thing you can do. Take turns going out guys and take one for the team every now and then by STAYING HOME and saving your cash.

Let’s Play The Fame Game
From: guestofaguest.com:
Today’s Fame Game Matchup is between two ladies of the manor. The longtime domestic goddess has climbed higher than her young rival, but Katie is relatively new to the fame game, and has made considerable strides in closing the gap. With brains, beauty, amiability, and a just-published cookbook, KLJ may soon be the kitchen queen to beat.

Fell In Love With A Tudor
I guess I’m kind of a latecomer to the Tudors-mad bandwagon, but ever since I found the complete first season in my East End Hospice Gala gift bag, I haven’t been able to stop watching it. It’s probably historically inaccurate or at least exaggerated, but until I’m told otherwise, I’m going to write it off as a much needed history lesson.
I’ve loved Johnathan Rhys Meyers since he bent it like Beckham, and he’s in full pouty-lipped, washboarded glory here, whether he’s fighting, playing, or ravishing all his court’s bosomy beauties. Plus there’s the always fantastic Peter O’Toole as the rather displeased Pope Paul III. More »

Nello Summertimes, Southampton Vs. Dino’s Anytime, Lincoln, NE
Ketel One and soda at Nello Southampton: $27.00
Cocktail at Dino’s, Lincoln, Nebraska: $4.50
Yeah we’ve been saying Nello’s was overpriced for a long time now, but this disparity above is just comical. Thank you Eater for documenting what we all already know: we are paying way too much at our dining establishments out here. It’s things like this that make it hard for my parents to bite their tongues when visiting. The funniest part about this is that the cocktails at Dino’s are actually good. Ah, the good life.

Clothes Make The Girls
This feels so stereotypical Southampton-the bug sunglasses, velcro Keds, oxford button down, premium denim cutoffs, flat gold sandals… and yet I totally love it. I think I prefer the outfit of the girl on the left; but I’d take either. How about you?

Beach Read Of The Day
The New York TImes Country Weekend Cookbook was one of our favorite gift bag goodies from the East End Gala. Okay, maybe you wouldn’t take it to the beach -shouldn’t, really, as the sand could mar the mouth-watering pictures. Linda Amster and Mark Bittman have culled through the NYT’s summeriest of recipes, most of them from the world’s finest chefs, to produce a cookbook tailored to the country weekend get-away. The book is divided into 7 sections:
