Au Revoir Polo!

NEXT »

Without fail, every year, at the last match of the Bridgehampton Polo season, the layers of propriety are peeled away to reveal the free-for-all party that shuts down the season. I don't know where all these people hide all summer, but somehow everyone and their mother shows up at the fields, ready to schmooze under the VIP tent.

There's a lot going on under that infamous tent: all the girls who were able to get it on over the summer looking for one last chance at love; all the guys who never quite got enough over the summer looking for one last kill; East Enders not ready to let go of the season, celebrating one last big, drunken Saturday afternoon.

Other less raunchy lasts included saying bye to the nice folks at Hamptons Magazine, who always sponsor the last match, and has tables upon tables of free Niche Media mags from here to eternity; bidding adieu to those behind T-Mobile tent, which always rocks the house with awesome DJs; watching the actual polo match that is taking place; and soaking in the live music -- this year it was a performance by OnDa ground music's, HRS Princess.

So we say adios to another season of the Bridgehampton Polo until next year, when for six Saturdays in the summer, we ride the ride all over again.
