Being at the RFL Beach Glamour Party in the Hamptons


Saturday, June 26th, had me joining a benefit for the Reginald F Lewis Museum in Baltimore, dubbed as "Beach Glamour" at a summer house in the East Hamptons. I was delighted to have been given the opportunity to enjoy the party with a big number of people who came from all over the US, including those who flew to NYC just for the occasion. It's fun meeting up with friends, acquaintances, and other new faces whom I won't even have the chance to see and meet in my daily life. Of course, it's designed to be a professional networking event.

From what I observed, it's mostly attended by people who actively pursue their professional careers; I was actually looking forward to meeting other entrepreneurs who are working to build businesses mainly from scratch. I was not disappointed as I saw in person Loida Nicolas Lewis, a very successful entrepreneur in her own right, and who has pursued and continued the growth and development of businesses that both she and her husband worked on building up together while he was still alive (he passed away in 1993). I didn't wear the suggested colors (white, aquamarine) for the party ---as I never had the chance to buy something that I really like to wear for the occasion---so I ended up wearing a yellow shirt on white pants.

The beach looked so inviting, and has that certain exclusive allure --- houses that are along the beach are situated far and in between. I was happy the guests were soon allowed to walk on the beach. I can just imagine Fire Island must have looked like this beach before it became populated with guests, part-time or year-long residents.

Enjoy looking into the pictures I took, the whole set of which I turned into a collage.

Update: HNY has already closed shop with the lead yogi Aaron Starr focusing his energies on Blue Osa , a yoga retreat and spa in Costa Rica. I've since then written 3 articles from what I learned by engaging in yoga: Men and Yoga The health benefits of yoga for men A guide on how and where to get yoga instructor certification in New York Read about what got into my mind in one of those times when I showed up at the former HNY's studio in Chelsea below: Last night's nude yoga session ( see Hot Nude Yoga ) led to a brief chat that gave me the opportunity to quench my curiosity over the penis rings that hang on the genital region of one of the participants. The metal rings would glisten in the space where Luke, the name of the said participant, has him making his stretches on his yoga mat. As all of us participants would work on the stretches and (challenging, whew!) poses being coached to us ably by our teacher, Hollis, in one session, I took note of Luke's p

Where Do I Start Moving On From The Tragic Demise of A Very Good Friend?

Last Friday evening (Philippine time), a very good friend of mine (as well as the friend of many, many others) was murdered in his apartment. I got the message from another friend on Facebook. I was since then grappling with the shock, grief and anger over the whole tragedy. Gratefully, I've managed to compose a brief poem on my grief . But the sadness still continues. This friend also happened to be posting comments to several of my blogs here, the last of which came out here . click on the title for more...
