Anna Goes Gatsby...

I dunno... kinda think if I was turning 50, I wouldn't mind Anna Wintour throwin' me a big 'ol birthday party at her Long Island home.  Hamish Bowles was one such lucky birthday boy surrounded by fashion icons and a day/evening affair that Gatsby himself would have most definitely approved of...
