[Gossip Girl's ball and post-brunch, modeled after real-life?]
The after hours following my prom consisted of playing poker in our gymnasium at our parent-led post-prom party and then heading over to whomever was brave enough to host the 20+ 18-year-olds for breakfast around 5am. It was pretty Midwest, and very PG. Something tells me that the kids who’s live out here, (you know the ones that have primetime television shows MODELED after them), do things a little different.
Try dinner and dancing at the Waldorf-Astoria on Park Avenue for one. That’s right, Tuesday night, the future PMCers were walking out on their own red carpets, hailing from Collegiate, Browning, Brearley, Hewitt, Spence, and Nightingale-Bamford. And their post-prom parties? Well, let’s just say PromTime.com wasn’t invited…But drivers to the Hamptons were….

Living in a city, especially a city where some form of transportation is nearly always available, a person can almost forget about the whole drunk driving issue (what issue?). Until, that is, he heads eastwards with some buddies, partakes of the $900 Grey Goose bottle he bought to impress that girl who claimed to be a Brazilian underwear model, and then, soured on rejection and cranberry juice, drives off in a huff that ends with flashing lights. It isn’t just the weekenders; in fact most of this year’s bumper crop of DWI’s have been awarded to locals. I know this thanks to Nassua County Executive Thomas Suozzi, who publicized the names, addresses, and mug shots of last weekend’s offenders. More »
Didn’t get any love from a shorty at the Talkhouse? Someone didn’t try to grind on you at Dune? No one cozied up to you at La Playa? NO problem. If opportunities for love or even a french style kiss fell short last weekend, rest assured the weekend is NOT officially over until you throw your bag down on your apartment floor. There are, after all, opportunities on the trip home. Or the trip there for that matter. A few weeks ago before the Summer ‘08 season even began a handsome “married” gent sat next to me on the Hampton Jitney going out east.

Claire and I were more impressed with the hot 2 wheelers we saw all around the East End, than any of the cars flashing their lights at us. You know summer’s here when you start seeing colorful shiny bicycles lined up such as the ones above. Ours are in the shop, but by next weekend, you can bet to be seeing us all around the shore line with our baskets and bells ready to make their debuts. And now, for your viewing pleasure, I would like to present Queen:

Jeez people, when will you learn that booze doesn’t fall into the cake-you-can have-and-eat category? This MDW, cops nabbed six reckless endangerers in Southampton alone and a whopping 109 in all of Long Island. The authorities, of course, are furious enough that they are releasing names, and in this instance (unlike some others), we are with them. Support local industries; call a cab. No matter what they cost, it’s gotta be cheaper than years of legal fees and the prescription drugs you’ll need on your quest to forget.

We may have cursed the East Hampton Police Department (EHPD) under our breath in the past over a parking violation on a holiday weekend, but until Saturday, I could honestly say that as soon as I left Manorville and got onto the Sunrise Highway, I’d feel safe and at peace. The Hamptons’ various police departments used to maintain a safe environment without being unreasonably nit-picky, but something has changed. Perhaps the war hungry Bush era has trickled down to local weekend-home town security, but the vibes I’m starting to get while strolling around the Hamptons is becoming less bucolic New Englandy and more Facist-statey.

Today’s Car of the week is sitting on the intersection of Scuttle Hole Rd and Highway 27. The best thing about this pristine Mercedes convertible is that it’s For Sale!
Update: Whoops! It’s actually an Alfa Romeo Spyder. Everything is a Mercedes to us. Thank you very much Mr. Abrams for pointing out such an obvious slip….
