St. Barth’s in the Hamptons: What Recession?

In case the Hamptons edenic sun and sand are not enough, you can always shop. That was the message at a deluxe event sponsored by Social Life Magazine and Rand Luxury at East Hamptons Studios last weekend. Bringing St. Barth’s to the Hamptons is not much of a stretch, as some of the promo materials pointed out. Surely you will need a Lord of the Rings pinball machine in your mini mansion, or Pac Man. For dining out you may accessorize with diamond jewels from Dannini and a suit with pin stripes woven in of 22 karat gold thread, starting price $30,000. If you want to spend money on something that moves, try a champagne leather lined Ferrari convertible. And while all of this may seem excessive to those of us who remember the times when you were overdressed at the beach if your jeans were clean, this lifestyle jump makes Tiffany’s in East Hampton look quaint.

But in keeping with the spirit of giving, this shopping extravaganza was all to benefit the VH1 Save the Music Foundation. Kevin Jonas performed. And the site, East Hampton Studios, is a state of the art space where the business of music and movie making do not disturb the neighbors’ peace on earth. While the debate rages about cornfields vs. condominiums, prime land mowed for golf, you can satisfy that artisanal urge and have a putter hand made in maple. Sweet Wood Golf made one as a gift for President Obama, said Kerim Kfuri, the company’s president.

The event brought out this reporter’s inner guilty consumer. I came away with black cat’s eye sunglasses from Velvet Eyewear, happy with a modest purchase that makes me feel like a proverbial million.

I seldom comment, but i did a few searching and wound up here St. Barth抯 in the Hamptons: What Recession? - Gossip Central. And I actually do have 2 questions for you if you do not mind. Is it just me or does it seem like some of these comments look like they are written by brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are writing at other social sites, I'd like to keep up with anything new you have to post. Could you make a list of all of your public sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
