In the midst of all the madness of the Hamptons in the season it’s worthwhile to take time to accentuate the positive and see who and what gets the Hamptons Heather thumbs up.  With celebrities you never know who is going to be naughty and who is going to be nice.  I wrote the cover story on Mary J. Blige for Hamptons Magazine and she was out for the party they threw her at Pink Elephant.  When I met her she couldn’t have been warmer or more open and it was worth it just to see her bear hug editor in chief Cindi Cook.  I can see how her positive outlook which she credits with turning her life around is infectious as she was groovin’ away.  The trick with this club which gets a real scene happening on weekends is to go early and catch a cocktail and a couch in the cabana area to watch the fillies walk by.  And dudes, we gals go to great lengths to try to look fabulous and fashionable, let’s see you put in a little effort too.

I had the chance to eat at Wild Thyme on North Sea Road in Southampton and it deserves the great review it got in the New York Times.  The food is fresh, original, and tasty without being rich.  Be sure to check out the mushroom ravioli.  I was there as part of a new networking group the Hamptons Women’s Co-op which had a bevy of savy interesting business women.

Be sure to get your tickets to the Love Heals at Luna Farm event in Sagaponack on Saturday June 23.  Benefitting the Alison Gertz Foundation for AIDS Education, this night draws the best of the young sophisticated social set and is a great meet and mingle opportunity.  There’ll be cocktails, BBQ, dancing, and an incredible silent auction thanks to the committee and co-founder Stefani Greenfield who owns Scoop.  You can get more info at www.loveheals.org and call Harrison & Shriftman for tickets 917-351-8670.
