The weekend is over and I am still congratulating myself for not eating any candy this Halloween. I only enjoyed a little champagne which, technically, could be considered “candy for adults,” I guess.
This year, for the first time in probably 15 years, I dressed up in costume and went out on the town with a bunch of my girlfriends. Until Friday afternoon, I was kind of stuck/panicked trying to pull together a costume that was figure flattering, age appropriate and not too difficult for a hair and makeup novice to put together.
But then I found this amazing retro Lilly Pulitzer-type print dress at a thrift shop and just went wild with committing to an early 1960s go-go look, complete with white boots and white cat eye glasses.
By some weird coincidence, I already had a hair appointment booked on Saturday morning. So, instead of the usual cut and touch-up, I asked for and got a kickin’ beehive that really made the whole outfit come together beautifully. And coincidentally, thanks to about three cans of industrial-strength hair spray (sorry ozone layer) and 32 (yes, 32!) bobby pins, not a strand of hair moved a centimeter for more than 24 hours.
I definitely need to give a shout out to Tracy at the Victoria Taylor Salon in East Quogue. That beehive absolutely killed!
Two other locals who I know of have been donning costumes and going out lately, though on stage in Quogue and not whooping it up with me and my gals. Marc Cotter of Speonk and Pam Kern of Remsenburg are both performing in “Picnic” with the Hampton Theatre Company. Be sure to catch them before the show closes on Sunday, November 8.
Ticket prices for the show are $25 for adults, $23 for senior citizens or $10 for students under 21. For additional information, call 653-8955 or visit hamptontheatre.org.
Jessica Lacetera of Speonk asked me to let you all know about the Athletes Changing Tomorrow 5K and 10K runs at Neville Park in Center Moriches. The runs will be held on Sunday, November 8. Registration will begin at 9 a.m. Proceeds from the event will support humanitarian aide to Darfur, Africa. For more information, visit athleteschangingtomorrow.org.
Also this weekend, the Remsenburg Academy Association lecture series will continue on Sunday, November 8, with a presentation by design consultant Gayle Wyroba. She’ll share her knowledge of “The Power of Placement: Feng Shui” at 4 p.m. at the Academy, which is located on South Country Road, across from the Remsenburg Post Office.
The final speaker in this free series will be the Honorable John M. Czygier Jr., surrogate of Suffolk County, who will lead a discussion titled “Wills and Estates” on Sunday, November 15. Stop on in.
Girl Scout Troop 2362 will hold a spaghetti dinner at Edgewater Restaurant in Hampton Bays on Monday, November 9, from 5 to 9 p.m. The event will be a fund-raiser for the troop’s Gold Award project. The cost of the dinner is $15 for adults and $10 for kids 12 and under. Call 723-2323 for reservations.
This is the last reminder for the Food Pantry Fund-Raiser Dinner at the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Quiogue set for Saturday, November 7. The joint fund-raiser, hosted by the Kiwanis, Knights of Columbus and the Westhampton Rotary, will raise money to feed the needy in our area. For more information or to make reservations, e-mail Roy Daleo at rdaleo2944@gmail.com.
Finally, speaking of dining out, I went to Matsulin in Hampton Bays for a farewell luncheon for a coworker last week and I have to tell you, I was amazed at the experience. The food was delicious and plentiful, and so prettily presented that it almost looked too good to eat.
The prices on some things are a little on the fancy side, but it was really worth it. I highly recommend this restaurant. Try it out and let me know what you think. Better yet, visit the “Eat and Drink Guide” on 27east.com and post a comment for everyone to see.
