A sample of the mélange of magnificent millinery in the SB Polo Club’s annual contest (photo by Jacqueline Pilar)
cured Carpinteria equestrian facility with the Belmond El Encanto classic between financial tycoon and former
club president Dan Walker’s Farmers & Merchants talented quartet and Klentner Ranch, owned by Justin Klentner, which the dashing developer won, 14-11. For the ninth consecutive year, I had the onerous task of judging the mélange of magnificent millinery on display, which was not an easy task, with four categories: Most Creative, Biggest, Most Colorful, and also a children’s prize. But the winners, drawing on my considerable experience of writing about the magnificent creations of my Monte Carlo-based friend, David Shilling – whose late mother,
Gertrude, was known as the Mad Hatter for her outrageous and gigantic headwear – and London milliner Philip Treacy at Royal Ascot, where I have been attending in the Royal Enclosure for more than four decades, were Nina Terzian for the most creative hat designed by the Magic Castle’s Arlene Larsen; Montecito’s Nancy Seagal for the biggest; Bentley dealer Kari Lloyd-Markowitz for the most colorful; and six year-old Eliza Rayfield, a student at Washington Elementary School, for the children’s prize. Among those checking out hotel executive chef Frenchman Johan
Denizot’s culinary delights and quaffing the Bellinis were the fivestar hostelry’s Aussie manager Shaun O’Bryan, Bill and Barbara Tomicki, Jon and Martha Bull, Karna Hughes, David Jones, Charles Ward, Glen and Gloria Holden, Don Seth, and Lynda Millner, Kristi Newton, Joel and Doreen Ladin, Michael Cervin, and Jennifer Zacharias. Hawaiian Honeymoon Aussie musician Peter Clark got terribly tropical when he threw an Aloha Hawaii bash at his Montecito home
