Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Polo Classic- 05.30.09
It was a gorgeous day in NY to take the VIP ferry out to Governor’s Island for my first official polo match/picnic. Granted this was no ordinary day in the park ~ since there was much buzz with Prince Harry playing, Marc Jacobs and Madonna wandering around, and never ending Veuve Clicquot flowing at the second annual Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Polo Classic. The views were absolutely stunning ~ the manhattan skyline peeking out from behind the game, endless smatterings Pantone 137c between the lush green grass and perfectly clouded blue skies, and amusing people watching with lots of “daring hats” as requested. Take a peek at the experience on the next page…
Coming in to Governor’s Island on the VIP ferry…
Waiting for the adorable island trolleys to bring us to the fields…
The table section was tented and had fun outdoor furniture for closer viewing…
SO CUTE - the kids yellow picnic tables and ice cream truck. Unfortunately adults were rushing the ice cream too, so it ran out quickly!
For picnicking ~ chairs and blankets were quickly being laid out to claim areas…
As they got ready for the match ~ here is a look down the pitch…
Here’s a peek at prince harry getting ready ~ with his security looking serious as usual…
When it came time to stomp the divots in, there was quite a rush on to the field!
A peek at the ever growing glass collection between our large group as the day progressed…
there was even a little VC store of goodies ~ everything from tshirts to bags to purse hooks…
And for those who are curious, everywhere Prince Harry went was a mad rush of people with cameras and cellphones…
And for a peek at the history and layout of the intriguing Governor’s Island…
I’ve never been a screaming Madonna fan however i do admire the way she has raised her children. Additionally the way that she takes her adoptive kids back to their homeland and started an education center there.
