SECURITY! Star Jones Gets Justin Ross Lee Banned From Polo

[Justin Ross Lee gets the smackdown from security. Picture by JT WHITE] I have a confession to make. While I have made the acquaintance of Justin Ross Lee before, it was pre-posting days of his antics. I hadn’t “formally” met JRL besides our brief Pink Elephant run-in in the Hamptons, so when he made a point to introduce himself to me at the closing day of the Mercedes-Benz Polo at Blue Star Jets Field this past Saturday, I knew I was in for a real treat. Wearing coral pants and an over the top paisley shirt, oversized Star-of-David necklaces nestled in his chest hair, JRL filled me in on how he was banned from the polo grounds. His VIP access bracelet? Put on by himself. According to what JRL told me, this was a result of a picture he posted on his Facebook that we re-posted on the site of him and Star Jones, that was photo-shopped in typical JRL style. Taken at the opening day of polo, the now infamous pic of him and Star was snapped after they had both been interviewed for Plum TV. Pre-posting it, he photo-shopped a picture of “Devil Dogs” snacks above Star’s head…

Clothes Make The Hunks

[Picture via Rob Rich] Look at what the polo ponies dragged in last weekend at Blue Star Jets Field. Two gorgeous hunks, with their long dark locks blowing in the wind! At first glance you might think these two are twins - or at least brothers - but don’t be fooled. Any polo fan would recognize that the Latino heartthrob on the right is none other than Nacho Figueras, who has been tearing up the polo field all summer for Bridgehampton. But who’s the other hottie to his left? Well, that would be Maximiliano Palacio from Real Housewives of New York, who has been linked to both Kelly Bensimon and LuAnn de Lesseps (you might know him better by the nickname Kelly referred to him by on the show: “Max-Max”). Rumor has it that the Argentinian actor might be playing Samantha’s latest love interest in the upcoming Sex & the City 2 movie. Wouldn’t be too surprising - we know how Samantha Jones loves her younger men, and it certainly seems like Max-Max loves his older women. More »

Not only does this Saturday mark the end of sipping cocktails underneath the tents on the Blue Star Jets field but also a sad, sad day for every girl across the East End as Nacho’s last match during the Mercedes-Benz Polo Challenge is approaching. This means our days of “ooh-ing” and “ah-ing” over the polo playing stud will soon be behind us. Here’s a look back at week five on the field with onlookers including Maximiliano Pacio, Brianna Swanson, Jasmin Rosemberg, and many more Check back next week for coverage of Bridgehampton Polo’s closing day.

Stranded At Bridgehampton Polo? Nacho Figueras Might Give You A Ride…And His Trophy

[Nacho Figueras. Photo via bigshotartist] What we thought was just another day at the tents during week three of the Mercedes-Benz Polo Challenge was quite the opposite for Amanda Taft, an LA-based blogger whose first visit to polo (and the Hamptons) quickly turned from disaster to Best.Trip.Ever. It all started with the decision to cab it to Blue Star Jet Field (she admitted that was a rookie move on her part) which obviously landed Amanda, with three girlfriends in tow, stranded at the field entrance by the time all the fun came to an end with no cabs in sight. As they watched the entire parking lot empty, with not one Polo-goer willing to offer up a ride, Nacho Figueras arrives to save the day and the story only gets better from here… More »

Suit Up!

Didn’t get to Super Saturday in between hitting the beach and the polo this past weekend? No need to fret, you didn’t miss out on all the good deals. It’s that time of year retailers are practically giving things away and trying to rid their shelves (virtual or real) of summer’s inventory to make room for fall goodies. Remember this Pucci bikini I fawned over in my beach bag? Thanks to the awesomeness of mid-summer sales (I refuse to say the words “end” and “summer” in the same sentence), the Pucci bikini I was once willing to shell out a cool $320 for, you can now get your hands on for a mere $160. Yep, that’s half the price. More »
