Just got back from the absolutely fabulous yearly charity event at the Longhouse Reserve. Most parties in the Hamptons are known to be fabulous and quite a few of them actually are but this one is stunning in all aspects. This year’s theme was white and blue and everybody dazzled.
The art in the garden stands out as nothing I’ve ever seen since it’s both quirky and esteemed but it’s also quite useful which is a treat as couples were wining and dining in the artsy seats while the rest simply admired from a far…
And then there was the people who was naturally beautiful. I met my favorite photographer Roberto Duttesco who shoots the wild horses on Sable Island outside Nova Scotia with such love and who adorns my walls in both Stockholm and New York and we got to continue our discussion of a potential upcoming exhibit with his work at our hotels…
And then the New York City ballet came out just to dance for us… Or rather, to pay tribute to one of the finest philanthropists in the Hamptons but we got to partake and loved it…
And then I got to shop! I always find such amazing things at this charity event and they naturally end up on the walls of c/o The Maidstone for you all to enjoy. And this year I fought hard for two master pieces. An iconic photography of Andy Warhol and Bob Dylan talking in front of Warhol’s picture of Elvis that seemed to catch the eyes of many guests but finally became mine about twenty minutes before the silent auction closed.
And then for the most gorgeous of them all which is a picture of Elizabeth Taylor when she was her most mezmerizing sensual self, looking up with such love and adoration at Richard Burton (whom we merely see from the back, but what a derriere…) This one I finally got 20 seconds before the auction closed so clearly somebody left the party a bit disappointed but for all of you who get to view it, I simply say congratulations.
The two pieces make our hotel and restaurant even more smashing and such a reason for you all to come, if you have not yet come by to wine or dine or do yoga or caffe latte…
your philosophy is so inspiring!
I had the pleasure of meeting one of your corporate colleagues and was very impressed with the way your firm is moving forward yet enjoying life!
