HAMPTON STYLE July 28, 2003 Pool Boy Cool Scott Sanders, who just completed Jeff Zucker’s house in Amaganset, designed the pool space at the Hampton Designer Showhouse with knockout flair. “I wanted to play off the red brick and though, no one has ever used vibrant reds for pool design.  So that’s just what I did.  The next day I found this smashing red and white outdoor upholstery at the Donghia showroom.  The rest fell into place with lobster trays and napkins at Crate & Barrel and my favorite – the blow-up lobsters floating in the water from pooltoys.com.  “But I thought, you know there’s still something missing – the pool boy!  So I had a casting call.  We interviewed quite a few but they weren’t quite right.  So I set out for Cooper’s Beach right nearby and just started walking.  I bumped into a lifeguard and thought, he’s perfect.  At first Dean thought the whole concept was pretty out-there, so I told him it was for a good cause, that the Showhouse benefited Southampton Hospital. “Then Dean told me, ‘My mom, Lorraine Vassallo, is administrative assistant to the VP of external affairs at Southampton Hospital.  She’s really involved in all this.  And I’m pre-med at Penn State.  Sure I’ll help you out.  It’s a great cause.’” “So we fitted Dean out in a pool boy uniform that matched the color scheme and everyone who came to the Showhouse thought it was a great touch.  They loved it.”
