“Get Wild” Vs. “Wild Night For Wildlife”
With the Wildlife Rescue Center of the Hamptons‘ benefit this Saturday and the Quogue Wildlife Refuge’s benefit a week after, it looks like the end of July is for the birds (and beasts). So how do the two stack up?

Denim and Diamonds ‘08: Where Be The Texas Bling?
As I mentioned earlier, Rachelle and I decided to forgo Beaches, Bays, Denim, and Diamonds for Beaded dresses and Blackjack. This decision had nothing to do with the causes; we care about finding a cure for cancer just as much, if not more than we do about caring for the terminally ill, and nature preservation is nothing to scoff at. No, the decision had nothing to do with causes and everything to do with theme and crowd.
Beaches didn’t have one at all (hello, hippie earth mother would have been awesome) and we didn’t really have any diamonds to flesh out our denim, so roaring twenties it was.

Straight-up throwback awesomeness from our Quogue prepsters. The one in the foreground is wearing garb culled from a former flapper’s closet.

East End Hospice Shows Us Their Hospitality In Quogue
Go HERE for more photos of this event by Zev Starr-Tambor.
When our Quogue connection Annunziata Sahid told us about a certain roaring twenties gala being one of the parties of the season, we were intrigued. Quogue is where the real preppies are, she told us, and real preppies know how to party like no one’s watching. Hmm…we thought; a pretension-free evening might be just what we needed, especially when it’d be benefiting such an incredible organization.
The East End Hospice provides need-blind care for the terminally ill and support for their families. Additionally, every summer the hospice hosts a week-long camp, Camp Good Grief, for children who’ve lost a loved one. So we left the Diamonds and Denim benefit and the Nature Conservatory’s Beaches and Bay’s Gala to everyone else to cover….we were headed west to Quogue.

Weekends In The Hamptons, Welcome To “The Good Life.”
[Claire and I after paddle boarding with instructor Zack Bliss and Luigi Tadini at Surf Lodge]
Summer has always been my favorite season. Not even the yuletide blessings that surround me each holiday season can compare with weekends like this. After our taping with Plum TV and the after party soirée with the entire crew at Wolffer Estates, Claire and I got to hang with the men behind Surf Lodge on Friday, shop around for the best lobster roll in Montauk with Luigi Tadini all day, and then later burn it off Hawaiian-style via paddle boarding on Fort Pond behind Surf Lodge.
Later that night I tried my hand at cooking (an adventure that happens once in a blue moon), and relaxed the night away with tomato beers and fresh air.
