The Roaring Twenties were alive and well Saturday night when Coffee & Jazz hosted a \u201cGastby\u201d Party with close to 30 guests dressed to the nines in 1920s haut couture.<\/p>\n
Operations manager Kayoko \u201cKay\u201d Irinika said the event was inspired by the 2013 film Great Gatsby that starred Leonardo DiCaprio. The film was based on a novel of the same name by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald.<\/p>\n
Aside from 1920s fashion, guests also danced and swayed to the era\u2019s dance music and were assisted by dance instructors especially hired by Coffee & Jazz for the event. DJ Fade manned the turnstiles and made sure the party got going until late in the evening.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe actually had this type of party idea since last year and we thought it is perfect timing to cerebrate the New Year with a dress-up opportunity and with us calling in Russian tourists, too, at our perfect ambiance at Coffee & Jazz,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The \u201cGatsby\u201d Party also had a Best Costume contest with Shelley Timmons getting the nod for having the most rip-roaring 1920s outfit of the evening. She bested 10 other equally deserving participants.<\/p>\n
Aside from Russian tourists, a sprinkling of local residents also showed up for the \u201cGatsby\u201d Party, some of them regulars of Coffee & Jazz\u2019s Latino Night parties, added Irinika.<\/p>\n
Guests snacked on tortilla chips and drank bottomless champagne and all sorts of wine and cocktails.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
