Gatsby Glitz and Flapper Pie

I know the Baz Luhrmann adaptation of The Great Gatsby opened in theatres yesterday. Did I go? Not yet. Will I love it? I will not say for sure until I have seen it, but the images of the costumes and such are not thrilling the fashion historian/1920s & 30s purist in me.  I do like electro-swing music and vintage/modern musical mash-up videos, so that part of the whole endeavour might not bother me.  In fact, I guess I will confess I rather like a video for Fergie and Goon Rock's song, "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody" I stumbled on the other day (it's one of several modern songs on the soundtrack I don't mind admitting I like---feel free to stop following me if this revelation horrifies you LOL).  Anywhooo, HAD I dressed up and gone to see the film on opening night, I might have worn something like the 1910s beaded belt from my shop (as a headband of course), along with my 20s/30s marcasite ring that I got in Montreal, and probably the 20s black velvet & white fur trimmed jacket over a black 20s dress).  Instead, I was in my pyjamas last night and this morning making a Canadian Prairie treat known as FLAPPER PIE for a Vintage Victrola & Croquet Picnic Party this afternoon (I also made a gluten free lattice top triple berry pie). Photos of the picnic are forthcoming....
