Polo, Darling?
[ 30 May 2008 ]
You are invited to join me (& a whole lot of civilised folk) for the Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Polo Classic!
Ralph Lauren’s team, Blackwatch, is bringing polo to New York City — & it will be the first time polo has been played here in over 70 years! Nacho Figueras (amazing name!), the face of Polo Black, will be there, kicking horsey butt & swinging his big stick around… !
It all happens this Saturday, the 31st of May. The game starts at 3pm on Governors Island, & it’s easy to get there: free ferries run from Manhattan to Governors Island every 30 minutes. Once you arrive on the island, there will be signs to point you in the right direction!
There will be a huge grassed picnic area, as well as a Veuve Clicquot champagne bar, & I will be there with a blanket, some nosh & a colourful hat! Come & join me — be sure to bring some sandwiches, a camera & your best British accent!
Tally-ho!
Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala

Turning A House Into A Home iCiNG Treats Contest! Style Tips -- 26th May 2008 Hello, Lover! Why Is Gala In NYC? The Constant Gardener: Podcast The Constant Gardener Calling All Nonpareils In New York...
I’m so incredibly envious of everyone who can attend — have fun, Gala!
Stop Gala! Stop! You’re just making me so jealous! Jealous of your fabulous lifestyle, your whole trip to NY and jealous of everyone who gets to go and spend time with you! Curses!
Still, ((Grumble of envy)) I hope you all do have a really good time! You think up the most fun days out ever! :) One day I’ll spend a day out with you, one day.
Have a brilliant day.
Cookies and cuddles, Vixxie.
P.S I’m intrigued by the hat – are we allowed to get a better description or is it a suprise? ;)
P.P.S., I know this is niether the time nor place, and you definitely have a lot of better things to be doing, and some people were having a go at the site because you can get Boob jobs and plastic surgery but my sister has just started playing www.Missbimbo.com and it is quite a deliciously tacky and wonderfully time-wasting game to play. :D Just in case you get really bored! ;)
You should drink Pimms…....very British don’t you know.
Prehaps some cucumber sandwiches or egg and cress…..sandwiches must be cut into triangles.
I wish i could come along…...with my British accent :)
Oh, I definitely second the call for Pimms! The best summer drink, if not my favourite alcoholic beverage.
Your polo outing sounds an absolute treat, I (and my genuine English accent) shall be there in spirit :)
oh no, i’m moving saturday!!!
Gala needs to come to England – preferably to Brighton so that I can join in (:
Stop making everyone who lives too far from New York jealous!
Only kidding, have fun :)
Damn.damn.damn! Wouldn’t you know it, working again that day! Ah well. I’ll actually be going to a polo game the next Saturday, so all is not lost. :-) Have sooooo much fun! And get a picture taken with a horse (if that’s allowed…I don’t know how close to the field you’ll be).
it’s too bad i used to work for said company…and think they’re kinda evil :-(
Oooh there are so many genuine UK-ers. DO WANT MEET!!
Tear yourself away from NY and join your Simon for a few days in London! We’ll totally make it worth your while!
Gala, please. I am argentinean (best polo ponies and players in the world) and from the polo environment and i can tell you that Nacho Figueras is not the best polo player in the worl by a long shot. Please do not misguide people.
eugeniah — Sorry, I had no idea! Laziness on my part (didn’t check facts from press release) + naughty PR person = incorrect writing! I’ll edit the post ;>
