Last week I got together with some ladies to attend the premier of The Great Gatsby. It was on my friend Lindsay’s ’30 before 30′ list to go to a midnight showing of a movie. She organized the event and suggested we all get dolled up in 1920’s fashion for fun.
I don’t own any drop waist dresses, so I made do with what I have…I think my hair looks more 1970’s than 1920’s…but this is what you get when you have 15 minutes to get ready. I haven’t worn color on my lips since high school…I stick with mostly chapstick or clear gloss, so it felt strange to wear such bold lips, but I kinda liked it!
We met for dinner at a local restaurant–don’t these ladies look amazing?
I read the Great Gatsby in high school, and I didn’t recall the slightest bit about the story line. Lindsy read the book right before the movie and she said the movie followed the book amazingly well. The movie was awesome–the ending was pretty depressing, but it stayed true to the book.
What have you seen at the movies lately?
