I haven’t stopped shopping online since Black Friday. First it was the Christmas shopping. Then it was Christmas returns and exchanges. Of course, I couldn’t ignore the post-Christmas sales. And the January sales, which are not the same as post-Christmas sales. Now the Presidents Day sales are looming. All I do is shop online. I wish I didn’t have to buy everything online, but where is a normal person with a normal life and a normal income supposed to shop in the Village of East Hampton? Valentino, Chanel, Prada, Gucci or Louis Vuitton? The only places in my price range ...

When I get an invitation to a party — say, a friend’s disco-themed 60th birthday party — I want to be the woman who walks into her perfectly appointed closet, glances around and says, “I’ll wear the Versace.” I want to be the woman whose perfectly appointed closet is room-sized and her clothes are hung by color, exactly 1 centimeter apart from each other to avoid wrinkling and to allow the fabrics to breathe. She sits on a plush ottoman to don her Bruno Cucinelli gabardine trousers and matching cashmere turtleneck, while gazing upon her backlit Versace hanging in the ...

There was quite the political explosion last week about the first-in-the-nation congestion pricing program that took effect in Manhattan last month, including comments from Suffolk County, although many miles away.

Duffy called that a “slap in the face to working-class Americans and small-business owners.” (It ...

By Jan Kumar, Lynn Bakamjian, Karen Hardee, Sandra Jordan and Karen Newman Elon Musk is on a mission, with Donald Trump’s blessing, to destroy USAID. Though it is doubtful that either of them knows much about what USAID does or how it works, that doesn’t stop them from spreading baseless smears about the agency on their bully platforms to make Americans believe it is a corrupt waste of money. Suddenly cutting off funding for the organization is cruel and short-sighted. It shows indifference to the tragic human toll it will take and ignorance of what the U.S. stands to lose. ...

Morning, past its twilight, the sun fills and warms the still air. In the ditch row, and protected places, the cardinal’s voice is up against many, while the wrens single themselves out and assert from three different locations. One is at the horse farm, one in the unpruned roses at Dr. Stock’s, and the last is near the woodpile in my mother’s backyard. Starlings command the slightly obnoxious high register; an obscure melody that some would contend is too sophisticated for the human ear exists between flocks. The sound is spring’s first mention of itself, and while it may be ...

LTV Studios will celebrate Women’s History Month with various events that will be held throughout the month of March and into mid-April. A look into LTV’s history reveals that women in our community were also building prominent roles in media.
