ONE THOUSAND FARTS EVERYWHERE!
i just wrote out this whole nice long post about the jazz age lawn party and how you should go and how special it was and blah blah and stupid dum-dum internet messed it all up. how dare you internet. now i'm going to have to rewrite that jawn and it's tone will be tainted by my current disdain for you. hope you're happy dummy.
finally made it to the jazz age lawn party on governors island this year. i feel like errybody in blog world always goes to this event but never leaves me an deets on how i can also enjoy the festivities. but finally! finally! keiko lynn linked to the events page on her blog and i was able to get in on the action.
i wore my long off-white drop waist chiffon gown with pinned up hair and a fringe-y shawl. the outfit we originally had for mikeyaz made him look like a little german boy so we changed it up and he ended up going in an ensemble that was way un-seasonable. but he sucked it up like a good sport and politely dabbed sweat from his forehead the remainder of the day.
we got to ride a ferry over to the magical land of governor's island. it's really just like a big ol' park and with everyone dressed to the nines in 20's garb, it seemed like we were entering into a whole other world. i loved seeing everyone's interpretations of the 20's- there were the diehard people in amazing elaborate beaded numbers with cloches and round sunglasses, ladies in fringe-y party dresses that were clearly h&m with long pearls and fake flowers, and the punky folks in florescent drop-waisted dresses with chucks on. it made for some incredible people watching.
we picnicked among the gorgeous greenery, browsed overpriced vintage wares, listened to incredible music, watched some unreal swing dancing, attempted to dance ourselves, made up some new moves, decided were weren't the worst dancers but we were definitely bottom three, strolled around the island, laid in the grass, and eventually got back on the ferry to go home. it was a wonderful way to enjoy one of the last weekends of summer. i highly recommend it. for details, check out this website. hope to see you there next summer- i'll be the one cutting up the dance floor with an over-zealous charleston.
