Bringing Back The Baywatch For Ten Year Celebration

[Photos via Getty] Attention Baywatch fans, is a revival of the show in the works? Probably not. However, it’s hard to believe that it has been ten years since the show’s last air date. The beach series built around the drama and activities of Los Angeles hotties lifeguards, lasted from 1989-1999. And lets not forget Baywatch Hawaii which had a short stint from 1999-2001. (What? No Baywatch Hamptons?) These photos sure are a blast from the past taken in early 2000, when Baywatch celebrated the 10th anniversary of the shows syndication… More »

Montauk Monster? Nope. Snook The Sloth Escapes The Studio And Hits The Hamptons Streets

[Photo by Dans Papers]

Did you see this giant furry creature walking around the streets in the Hamptons over the weekend? Do not be alarmed. It’s not the Montauk Monster, it’s Snook The Sloth, one of the main characters from “It’s A Big Big World”. He escaped from Wainscott studios where the show is filmed. Why you might be wondering… More »

UK Has Large City Beach… And We Still Don’t Want To Leave The Hamptons

[Photos via GettyThe thought of sitting on the beach right now out here in the Hamptons in a pair of full length jeans in this heat sounds like pure torture. But apparently the weather must be nicer over in the United Kingdom, where Edward Mellors, official “beach coordinator”, finished building the UK’s largest city beach yesterday in Nottingham, England. About 300 tons of sand was used in Nottingham’s Market Square to create the man-made beach. Here, Edward is shown enjoying the fruit of his labors.  We suggest a petition start at once to get Mellors shipped over to New York City to begin work on an American version immediately, as when the beach opens to the public on July 22nd, it will also include a free paddling pool, beach entertainment, and accommodation for 200 people. That’s pretty much the only way you’re getting us back from the Hamptons in this scorching 90 degree weather.

We’re Happy To Be Away From The City This Week Because…

[Picture via TV Cocktail] People are buzzing about Bravo’s new show, ‘NYC Prep’. And we’re not sure what would be worse, being bombarded by advertising for the reality version of the Gossip Girl rip-off or actually running into the teenage brats kids on the Upper East Side somewhere. Luckily for us, the only television promos that have crossed our paths out here have been in the form of planes pulling Royal Pains banners - and we’re just fine with that. It seems everyone in NYC that we’ve talked to are just as annoyed with the existence of the show as we are, so we’re as happy as Lobster Roll clams that the only exposure we’re getting to this rubbish are the previews that interrupt our Real Housewives marathons.

Suit Up!

lux one-pieceDo you think the buyers for Urban Outfitters actually liked this suit? Perhaps they felt sorry for it, as it languished in its paneled, bizzarely color-blocked state. Or maybe the creative director just had it out for this poor model, and figured it’d be hilarious to show her what she’ll be wearing in twenty years. They may be right, though given her pained expression, I’m guessing she’ll be nixing that bow.

Suit Up!

mercedes-benz fashion weekI guess I could go the generous it’s-not-fashion-it’s-art route, if this Red Carter suit were in fact art. Instead it’s mostly dominatrix with a touche of Derelicte around the bubble skirt. The model is doing her best, but tangerine cheeks and electro-gelled hair do not a panacea make. Gotta commend her fierceness though.

Suit Up!

oversized polo playerYou just know she has the matching towel, tee, and beach bag. Honestly, RL’s need to bigisize and blingify that poor polo player has gotten way out of hand. Maybe he’s compensating for American Living?

Suit Up!

floral tankini This one cracks me up. Good ole Vicky and her raging case of must-make-clothes-appear-sexy-even-when-they’re-aimed-at-octogenarians. Or soccer madres, but you see my point. This. is. a. floral. tankini. Even Maxim’s hottest girl of the year (thank you E!), can’t transcend it, though she’s trying her damnedest. I commend her effort, but hello, the people who buy tankinis probably don’t look like this, so why rub it in?

Suit Up!

urban outfitters romperblack gauze romper

Okay, this isn’t a swimsuit per se, but I did find it in Urban’s swim section. I don’t check out UO all that often, but every time I do, the stock is entirely different. Where does it all go? Do that many people really want polka dot unitards with attached bike shorts? You can bet that upon my next visit, this vision in translucent black polyster will have vanished as well, snapped up by our nation’s hordes of romper-loving hipsterettes. First person to wear it to the Beach Club wins a free GofG tee (and some sweet tan lines).
