That’s right, I’m a photographer, covering a very prominent part of our culture. I shoot nightlife — and what aspect of our society is more riddled with crazy fashion than nightlife – it’s our time to shine – strip off those work clothes (for those of us who have jobs) and hit the town to get fucked up.

(That’s me on the right in the coon skin hat along with my buddies Jesse Marco & DJ Sinatra.)

And so because of my excessive drinking and creeping on hot chicks, FashionIndie and I have teamed up to bring you a sorta-weekly blog that I call: Pretty & Plastered! (which for argument’s sake may not always contain plastered people, but will ALWAYS contain pretty people)

I will admit I am very biased, I like my girls hot & clothing optional… so brace yourself!

PS – Don’t expect me to comment on the photos like every other lame blogger does. Look at the photos for yourself and form your ideas – I’m not here to insult your intelligence. And so without further adieu…

Pretty & Plastered: The following photos were all taken at SL East in the Hamptons excluding the few day/bedroom shots:

In the midst running off to the Hamptons from Memorial Day Weekend, FashionIndie editor McArthur Joseph grabbed my beach bag and dumped it out in the loft!  In prompt reporter style, he documented the mess before I hopped in a car and ran off for the weekend.  Here’s what he found, hope it helps you pack for your weekends away!

1. Beach reading – summer edition of V Magazine and the May copy of Paris Vogue

2. Belvedere citrus – personal size, for sipping by the pool

3. Vintage leather top handle bag – because the natural pretention a top handle bag brings is perfect for the Hamptons set

4. Gold studded Christian Louboutins – for the late nights at Hamptons hot spots SL East and South Pointe

5. Balenciaga sunglasses – nothing screams summer like white sunnies!

6. St Tropez Self Tanner and Bronze Enhancer – because the first weekend out means I don’t have a real tan yet

7. Victoria’s Secret “Summer” scent – it’s fresh, energizing, and brings out that summer Bombshell vibe

8. Prada‘s Minimal Baroque sunglasses – because we need multiple sunglass options, these ornate frames are the perfect statement accessory when lounging by the pool

9. LAMB tan platforms – we all need a good heel for the Day & Night brunch parties of Hamptons legend

10. FashionIndie mixtape – best music mix you’ll find all summer, it is the perfect CD to put on at a house party and it lasts an hour before having to worry about what comes on next

11. Crabtree & Evelyn citrus lip balm and body wash – I love feeling fresh and smelling citrusy after a long day in the sun

12. Marimekko Lokki beach towel – this organic cotton towel is HUGE and super soft, plus the cute wave design is fun by the pool

Breathless Brad Boles has been busy rubbing some very ritzy elbows this weekend and is more than happy to share the dish. Me? I wish I was really on vacation! –S.H.

Friday night saw a return to Almond, the tony East End, boy’s-night-out hotspot in the Hamptons where I dined with Catherine Saxton (the fabulous PR maven who handles all of Ivana Trump’s ups and downs) who is a houseguest of Cathy and Rick Hilton.

FYI… the Hiltons have done an amazing job reinventing their glamorous Fordune estate in Southampton. It is completely bathed in white and teal and flooded with light. When I was there recently, I had a wonderful encounter with TINKERBELL – yes, you heard me right – as in Paris Hilton’s famed Chihuahua!

Bling to ding…

After dinner it was off to Lilly Pond for a sexy performance by none other then my “The Real Housewives of New York City” titled babe, ”The Countess” Luann de Lesseps. The best part of the evening: LL Cool J had a banquet room filled with his posse. Go figure…those two in a room so small from Bling to Ding?

Don’t ever believe that the rich aren’t still rich.

On Saturday it was off to Polo… for some perfect weather and perfect people! It’s one big cocktail party with nobody really watching the game. On one arm, I had the ever-divine Adrian Arpel, and on the other, her time-challenged daughter Lauren Arpel. I was trying to get Madame Arpel to buy a helicopter. As everybody knows, the Montauk highway is a nightmare in August. Can you imagine if we had landed on the Polo field?

The big weekend of the summer had plenty gossip to share and breathless Brad Boles was front and center in his pursuit of all things fabulous and gossipy —S.H.

Multiple Real Housewives, one diva, a rock chick and her boyfriend, a beauty maven, a newly christened male cougar, and 100 Russian hookers! All in between BBQ’s and events… so how was your weekend?

First, I need to pass on a very HOT tip:

Just this afternoon, as I was having lunch at 75 Main Street in Southampton I ran into Kelsey Grammer and wife Camille. Now, it looked to me as if that is not a couple filing for divorce anytime soon… just sayin’. Don’t forget that Camille is rumored to be appearing on the new “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” I can’t wait to see how those Cali ladies compare to my New York girls.

Cover Girl Kelly:

The Fourth of July cover of “Social Life” magazine is a big deal out here. Smart of them to choose the super-gorgeous, Kelly Killoren Bensimon of “The Real Housewives of New York City” as this week’s cover girl. The inside of the magazine isn’t too bad either as there happens to be a fabulous picture of me at the art opening of “Social Life” creator and man about the Hamptons, Justin Mitchell.

Listen to Sharon Haver and Brad Boles on BlogTalkRadio’s Focus on Style Talk:

Kelly was honored with a fabulous party thrown in her honor at Justin’s gorgeous house. You know that Kelly looked as perfect as ever on her cover and in the flesh.

This morning WWD reported on the increase in road kill lining the highways of  the Hamptons. It was decidedly lame. You can read the incredibly boring and absolutely useless story by clicking on the link below, but seriously, is this what passes for fashion news now a days?

LINKAGE: WWD

I must admit that before this weekend, the extent of my knowledge about the sport of polo revolved around what I’d discerned from the Ralph Lauren logo—I knew there were horses and mallets involved, but that was it. After venturing this weekend to Bridgehampton for the Opening Day of the Mercedes-Benz Polo Challenge, I still know nothing about the sport, but I have learned that it’s the quintessential Hamptons society activity during the summer.

Polo in Bridgehampton is hardly about who wins or loses—I don’t think that anyone even pays attention to the announcer—it’s about which spectator has the best time—and looks the best while doing it. Held every Saturday at the Blue Star Jets Field up until August 22nd, the fabulous and famous crowd together beneath the white tents for some polo watching and some people watching. The latter was what most interested me so I was out observing the fashions.

Instead of the wide hats and Oscar de la Renta dresses I half-expected to see, women dressed much more casually, preferring sundresses and the sort. Surprisingly, most of the peacocking came from the men, who sported a wonderful array of colors. White jeans were predictably popular, along with tailored sports coats and bright accents. It was really all about the color, and it was refreshing to see so many men dress so boldly.

Guests mingled and enjoyed the beautiful weather, fueled by libations from the open bar as well as an assortment of snacks and hors d’oeuvres. I personally couldn’t get enough of the mini cupcakes passed around in the VIP tent—I must have eaten an entire passed tray throughout the two-hour-long event. Celebrity wattage came from famous faces like Star Jones, Chase Crawford (who hosted last year’s opening), Beth Ostrosky and several realty TV stars.

Even though I was a polo neophyte, I still knew about star player Nacho Figueras from the Ralph Lauren fragrance ads and so the day’s highlight may just have been spotting him in the front of the Ralph Lauren Black Watch tent. And yes, he’s just as beautiful in person as he is in those pictures.
