Great Gatsby Goodbye Party

Posted on 10:40 by gaurav kumar
Haley and Leslie live in Minnesota, in a big beautiful house built in the 1880s. Sadly, their landlord has decided to sell it.
"Since Saint Paul is the birthplace of F. Scott Fitzgerald (and it's rumored that he attended soirees at our house back in the day), we decided to throw a Great Gatsby-themed goodbye party," says Leslie. "It would be our last shindig."
Spaghetti Western String Co, a string quartet from Minneapolis, performed Radiohead's "Exit Music," with lyrics sung in Italian. "It gave us goose bumps," says Leslie.
Doesn't everyone look amazing? What a wonderful way to say goodbye to a house and celebrate the end of an era. (F. Scott Fitzgerald would have been proud.) Thank you so much for sharing, Leslie!
