Oscar Fashion in the Hamptons The 85th Annual Academy Awards was an amazing showcase of elegant fashions, beautiful people and showstopping performances. The common theme evoked a sense of “old Hollywood” meets modern day trends. From Best Actress Oscar Winner Jennifer Lawrence, who selected a pale pink Dior Haute Couture princess-like gown, to Best Actress nominee Naomi Watts, who opted for a glittery modern/classic gown designed by Armani, the styles were stunning. Proof that many Hollywood stylists got it right this year! Hamptons icon Steven Spielberg may not have won the Oscar for Best Director for the film Lincoln, but he looked amazing in a classic black tux. Equally as important as the attire one wears to the Academy Awards are the stylistic designs that go into dressing each movie set. Lincoln is a masterpiece of not only film, but also of production design. Every scene brings the audience back in time with genuine authentic décor from the 19th century by including such details as the use of brilliant handmade lace. In fact, the lace table clothes and drapery used in the film are so rare, they are still created using original looms designed by MYB Textiles of Scotland. Our very own Prince

aving a dog can be a great thing. A companion. They are entertaining to be around and are very loyal pets—how do you think they earned the name man’s best friend? We currently have five dogs in our household: a Yorkie, Puggle, two Pugs and a Westiepoo. Our first dog was a mix we got at ARF for a nominal fee when I was 12 years old. Animals end up in shelters for a number of reason—the death of their owners, someone gives them up, they run away—but the dogs want nothing more than a loving family and secure home to live in. With the following tips, you’ll be able to figure out what type of dog is right for you and how to go about making a great addition to your family. First you have to figure out what type of dog you want. Do you want a dog that will stay on your lap and watch television with you? A dog that is friendly with kids? A dog for hunting to go on adventures with you? If you’re looking for a calm dog that will just relax with you after a day of work you may want to go for a small dog like a Pug, Yorkie or a French or English Bulldog. They tend to like to stay around the living room and watch television with you. They don’t require too much exercise and are a fine pet to have if you need to leave for a day of work. Pugs, however, love to eat, eat and eat. If you’re the more athletic type or an avid hunter you may want to go for a bigger more active dog like a German Sheppard or a Great Dane. You also have to take into consideration whether you want a puppy or an older dog. With the puppy, you’ll have to train them to go to the bathroom outside and not to chew
on the furniture. I recently got a two-month-old Pug puppy. We are in the process of training her now. Puppies will go to the bathroom on the rug and chew on shoes, clothes and other objects in the house. If you are a person of little patience a puppy may not be the right choice. Of course, you can always take them to training classes. Southampton Animal Shelter is located at 102 Old Riverhead Road West, in Hampton Bays. There you
mills and even abused households. The adoption fee will run you about $150. (Puppies cost a little more.) First you either stop in or go on their website to see which dog you’d like to bring home. Then you fill out the application. If you are chosen, the next step is that you have to bring in any other dogs that live in your home. The employees want to make sure that your house is the proper place for the animal and that all your other pets get along with it. You also have to make sure that all of the pets you already own have all their shots. (They call your veterinarian to confirm this.) If you’ve made it through this whole process, then the animal is yours! When asked about volunteer programs at the shelter, Goldsmith notes, “ we offer volunteer training, team training, public training and child/parent training. We also have community service for high school students.” With these tips you should be able to figure out what type of dog is right for you. As you prep for St. Patrick’s Day, check out the Southampton Animal shelter at the West Hampton Parade on March 9 and the Hampton Bays Parade on March 23. No matter what breed you choose, a dog can be a great addition to the family and is sure to bring joy to your household. And the dog will definitely appreciate being accepted into a warm and loving home. You’ll have a loyal companion for life as well. G. Holzman III
