As you’re aware, one of the benefits of a financial crisis like the one we’re in now is that it’s designed to extinguish, or severely curb, the amount of self-important douchebags in your direct line of vision. Unfortunately, the mechanism of change doesn’t work quite as well in the Hamptons, where mostly everyone S’s D, save for some of the very special residents Further Lane. Now, those who have “survived” the recession (*on their own terms or on the generosity of others, the example below presumably being the latter) to make it out for another season are congratulating themselves for the accomplishment, and also asking for someone to casually walk by and drop a hand-grenade on where they’ve been hanging, wiping out all the “certain kinds of people” assembled in one fell swoop.
“Whatever you want to say about the economy, the fact is, it’s more selective in the Hamptons this summer,” says one young lady at Day & Night who asked to be named. “It’s only a certain kind of person coming out here now, and honestly, that is the kind of person I want to be around.”

Second from left, I’d hit it.
The Hamptons is for chumps.
Outer Banks is the new killing it.
@2 no shit
“some of the very special residents Further Lane”
are we referring to a certain zamboni driver?
what’s the big deal? she works at a bar/restaurant, and wants to be around people that have a lot of money , are used to having it and will tip well
Nothing says douche bag like a rugby shirt and vest.
I think that sentence about S’s D and Further Lane is worth understanding. Sadly, I have no clue what it means.
If that dude is straight, then I’m sober
Flanders is the new killing it.
@9 – Clearly you are not Hamptons material.
Louis Ziccareli
@9 are you retarded? mostly everyone in the hamptons Sucks Dick, except for the people who live on Further Lane (chanos, cohen, etc).
Mmm indubitably, I agree. East Hampton had become so *bourgeois*… this recession is just what it needed.
Did I mention that it’s *SO* hard to find good help these days?
From left: Jailbait, Douch, Skeletor, Cougar
second from right looks like ellin barkin’s sister post-stroke.
Stash, do you think East Hampton is becoming too…..commercial?
Yes, I read that
@5 totally agree.
-Beamers Cafe employee
everyone in that picture needs a danza slap.
Still waiting for my Lafonda to step off the Hampton Jitney.
-Kip
@15, you clearly don’t know the hamptons if you think the far left is jailbait.
@13 – Thank you
- Guy who would cut off his left arm with a butter knife rather than set foot in the Hamptons, and coincidentally @9.
@4 i never took stevie for a beach guy.
@15 “jailbat” is definitely over 30. guessing 32-35.
I thought I told you people all you needed to know about rich folk.
~F. Scott Fitzgerald
@17 – Excellent “American Psycho” quote. Well played.
And I’d take the cougar.
@9 sucks dick
can we give the broads a rain check on the danza slap and just give the dude four?
who the fuck are these people? why isnt someone beating the shit out of that rugby shirt wearing pussy right this minute?
@24 keep telling youself that
im pretty sure that dude sucks dick by choice
Haven’t seen anything that queer since admit weekend at Chicago Boof
“‘If you have 12 or 15 people at a table, they are going to spend. They might *by* a $75 bottle of Rosé instead of a $150 bottle of Champagne, but they end up buying two or three of them.’”
So are we to infer, NYP, that you and only you can decipher when people are saying “by” and “buy?” Or did he spell it?
Or are you just a bunch of Iowa grads?
From the article:
‘As Russell Simmons put it when asked about his neighbors at his art benefit last weekend, “Most of the people here are never going to be without. It’s the Hamptons. These people are never going to be suffering.” ‘
Ruth Madoff may not have gotten the memo. Schadenfreude…

How about some follow-up on the dirt from the undergrad years of Titan Capital’s Russ Abrams (currently being sued for $2 mm for harassment)

@29
This is East Coast ‘culture’
Off to Brooks Brothers…taw
Also – Cyril’s birthday was last weekend. Wonder what the life expectancy is for an alcoholic manatee.
“Schadenfreude…” What a great song!! Man, Wayne Newton killed it so fine!!! Always reminds me of Vegas……

-Huge glasses hiding narrow’clops (usual match.com trick); pixie irish wanting wasp life; works as PA making $30K
-The worst; LI jew, with huge teeth and man-face. Garmento-ette or sales asst.
Again your average banker thinks thi is hot and wife material (check Greenwich/Short Hills Times summer party gallery)
A short weekedn-trip to CA, FL or for more wordly to Montenegro, Prague or Nice will provide 29 yo Models for 10% of money wasted on these rodents…and they can cook
@29
I beleive they went to a “Breakfast Club” watching party.
That ‘guy’ looks like he just stole the first four items he could get his hands on at Rugby.
@39 You forgot Sao Paolo (@ half the age)
the popped collar says, I loved the eighties;
the khaki vest says and rugby shirt says, I don’t love ladies…
how many times will the capri change the name of that damn club?
NYP is written by sensationalist idiots who don’t know what they are talking about. Hamptons are empty this year which is great – can get tee times day of, beach parking available at noon and no issue getting in anywhere including D&NBC, which can actually be fun as long as you temper expectations as there will be ~50% DBs and 25% DSs
Is that a beaver shot of the one on the far right? All the others – including the Rugby enthusiast – are wearing napkins to cover their genitalia, but the cougar is proudly displaying hers.
I thought you were gonna say that one of the benefits of the recession was three-for-one pricing on mail-order Belarussian sex slaves.
@44 what’s a DB?
Dimon/Blankefein?
d-bags, methinks.
DB = Double Blanus!
Boom
The one on the right looks like she could be a Noel.
Accidentally got sucked into dinner with some d-bag energy marketers for a BANK last week. As they blabbed about their cars, their houses, their conspicuous consumption, I kept praying for another market implosion.
Yes, it would hurt me to. No, I don’t care.
POSEIDON
Look at me, oh
The rugby shirt with a vest says I was dressed by my retarded mother. The disinterested look while surrounded by three cock aficionados with vaginas says additional parking in rear.
- Fixed Income
Doubt that anyone in that photo will ever see the inside of the meadow, bathing corp, maidstone, southampton golf etc. Which is fine. Oil and water do not mix well. No judgments, just facts.
Is the cougar on the far right a Noel sister? This hint of recognition is based on the genitalia, not the long face….
What is it with the people with extra little heads sporting the ridiculously trendy and oversized eyeglasses?
Do those look good on anyone?
the Hamptons needs more homeless people!!!
@55, you are a tool. Are you 100% Puritan, a direct descendant of the Mayflower? I have news for you, those places suck, Ive been to them all and the people are GOD AWFUL.
Easthampton/Amagansett/Montauk is where its at, you can get away from these people and hit Cyrils/Meeting House etc and hang with semi normal people with the occasional d-bag mixed in
55 59 What’s going to happen to those places is what always happens. They’re going to continue sinking into genteel shabbiness, similar to their members who are living off the interst on their meager trust funds. They’ll be revived however when some new money comes along.
@59, actually we arrive a few years behind the Mayflower but I’ve lived in many countries. My perspective may not be that narrow. Any if you think those places suck, then we agree on oil and water. I personally feel the same about Cyrils.
@60. You’re partially right and partially wrong. There is new money in all of the clubs, just not the new money that you read about in the NY Post, if you follow my drift. But, as you say, there some of the dead ends of the gene pool there as well. ying and yang. Having said that, A round of golf at Maidstone followed by dinner at Devon or similar, does not suck.
