Party With Gatsby On Governors Island

Do you like fringed dresses? Champagne? Seer-sucker stripes? Baz Lurhmann's 2013 masterpiece edition of "The Great Gatsby"? Well, here's your opportunity to have all of this and more at the Jazz Age Lawn Party this August on Governors Island in NYC.

Now in its third year, the Governors Island Gatsby party is hosted by conductor Michael Arenella and is accompanied by his orchestra, as well as a number of performers including dancers, singers, and jazz players of world renown. It's not only the performances that are Jazz Age-themed, however: picnic baskets are available for a 20's-inspired luncheon complete with wine, the main dish, a variety of sides, and some delicious desserts. If you're more interested in having a liquid lunch, then you can partake in the party's wide variety of cocktails and wines available, including beer, rosé, and cocktails.

Once you've eaten and drank your fill during the day, party-goers are free to participate in the variety of Jazz Age activities that are presented on the island. Vintage portraits, a good old-fashioned bathing suit competition, a motorcar exhibit, a (boozy) pie-eating contest, dance floors, and a variety of vendors are all open for business, ready to entertain you and your flapper crew. Remember to bring both cash and credit so you are able to buy whatever food or flight of fancy you're interested in!

Tickets to this event start at $45 per person, but if you're feeling bold you can purchase one of their more exclusive packages, which include meals and drinks without the wait. Hurry, though! Tickets go fast, and resold tickets are even more difficult to track down.

If you're interested in getting more information about this real-life Gatsby party, check out the website here. Tickets can be purchased here, and be sure to snap them up soon! August 25th and 26th can't get here soon enough!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
