hamptonerande


a few weeks ago, pia proclaimed: "vi måste göra vårt hamptonerande!"

so it is, that a few weeks later i'm sitting on main street, smoking a cigar, soaking in the sun, the scene, and the delicious superficiality that is "the hamptons".

little has changed in the two years since we were here last. the drive is even more tedious, and "scoop du jour" (where you can get a decent rocky road on a waffle cone) has moved to another location. but the unabashed display of wealth continues, unabated. the men still roll by in their expensive cars, the women still stroll by in their expensive tans, and the hapless policemen still look as if at any moment they may ticket you for mixing armani with versace.

i am, of course, ready to dive into my proust--since no hamptons experience is entirely complete without that ultimate luxury of bourgeois angst.
