The Hamptons: Spotlight Destination for the 2007 Miss Liberia in the US Contestants

This year the Miss Liberia US contestants will be visiting one the top vacation resorts of America's most famous and social elite "The Hamptons Long Island New York"
Having a background in the travel industury, I decided to do little reasearch on the history, culture, people and tourist info and share it with our readers.
Just 160 kilometres north-east of Manhattan, along the far end of Long Island's South Fork, the Hamptons are a collection of small villages on property purchased by the English from the Shinnecock Indians in the 17th century.
Tourism began here after the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) was completed in the late 1800s and weary Manhattanites began flocking to the east end for the white sandy Atlantic beaches, unspoilt beauty and prime real estate.
While the breathtaking beauty remains, the Hamptons grown to accommodate New York's fashion, media and entertainment elite. It is a place where a $US30 million ($38.7 million) home can be considered a bargain; where top-flight restaurants burst at the seams; 20-something professionals blow their annual budgets for summer share houses; and P. Diddy sightings are a dime a dozen
South Hampton vs East Hampton
Southampton is the grande dame of the settlements. Founded in 1640, the town screams (or is that whispers) old money, which is to say, modestly ostentatious. Most homes are clad in the standard grey clapboard and front streets with cutesy names such as Meadow Lane. But these are mammoth mansions, protected by four-metre hedges and surrounded by acres of lawn with to-die-for beach access.
East Hampton, on the other hand, is what most people have in mind when they say that the Hamptons have become the sixth borough of New York City. The village has exploded in the past decade to become a resort version of Madison Avenue, packed full of luxury goods stores such as Gucci, Polo and Tiffany & Co. The vibe is a hybrid of pleasantville Americana and 21st-century materialism.
East Hampton is also the culinary heart of the Hamptons. Media bigwigs and high-flyer financial types, and those trying to marry either, cram into restaurants JL East and Nick and Toni's. Not surprisingly. Manhattan-style waitlists often apply at both restaurants - but the wait is worth it.
Polo: The Sport of Kings in the Hamptons
The game of polo also known as The sport of kings has roots reaching back to 600 BC (Before Cocktails were served in the tent) when the Turkomans beat the Persians in a nationalistic show of pride. One of the earliest celebrity polo players was Alexander the Great who used the metaphor of the game to describe his thirst for conquest, “I am the stick, the ball is the world.” The name polo actually derives from the ball, thought to come from “pholo” meaning ball or ballgame in Tibet or “pulu” the Tibetan willow from which it was meaning ball or ballgame in Tibet or “pulu” the Tibetan willow from which it was made.
There are six periods in the match, each lasting 7 minutes, with a half time break where spectators come on to the field. The basic objective of the game is to get control of the ball to either pass to a teammate or drive the ball down the field to attempt to score a goal.

What is the purpose of having an Official in Miss Liberia (in Liberia) as well as a Miss Liberia in the United States Pageant???

For almost a generation, our country Liberia has gone throughout many hardships: military coups civil wars and years and years of corruption. Our nation was left in total shambles. Many Liberians fled to other countries all over the world. However, it is no secret that majority of Liberians took refuge in the United States. During the last generation, many Liberians took root here and found jobs, bought homes, raised familes, and had to quickly adapt to the ways of the American culture. Young Liberian females who were raised or born in the United States slowly began to lose the opportunity to learn about their Liberian heritage, culture, and values.

In 2000, a group of strong and promising Liberian women joined together to form LUWIP. Liberian United Women in Progress This non-profit and non-political organization's main objective is to promote and support young Liberian women by empowering them to achieve their personal and professional goals, while providing a forum for them to express their opinions, talents, and intelligence.

The Miss Liberia in the US Pageant provides an oppourtunity for females of Liberian decent to immerse themselves in the Liberian culture and to make a difference in the Liberian communities here in the United States as well as back home.

The reigning Miss Liberia in the US primary role is to serve as an ambassador to help promote positive Liberian awareness here in the United States and abroad, to serve as a positive role model to young Liberian women, to be a humanitarian by assisting various organizations in the rebuliding of our homeland, and to promote and educate youth on Liberian culture, customs and moral values.

The LUWIP Organization recognizes, respects, and fully supports the Original Miss Liberia Pageant in Liberia. Liberia is a sovereign nation and the Nation’s Queen should represent Liberian’s all around the world in all world competitions. The LUWIP Organization's goal is to be of support and assist the Original Miss Liberia Organization in Liberia in promoting a positive image and creating a unified Liberia.
