champagne & royalty

Governors Island.

polo match.
Prince Harry.

yuppie-Hamptonesque-vibe.

flowing champagne.

pretty much sums up my entire day at Governors Island for the Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Polo Classic. kind of felt out of place because I wasn't wearing a giant hat. I have the feeling that some of these people were trying to treat this event like Ascot or the Kentucky Derby, which when you think about it this polo match is the closest thing NYC is ever going to get to that. I went with Gossip Girl & friend and we got there a little late, so we unfortunately did not have the greatest spot in which to watch the match. but once enough drunkies left because they had too much sun or something (as an native Floridian, this is never something we say) I was able to get close enough to get pictures of the match. and of course, ended up with pictures of none other than HRH Prince Harry. I mean it was about a two second shot before they went racing down the field in the other direction, but it was enough time to snap a picture. :)

(he's number 1 - nothing less right?)
