I'm not sure if I read the same book as everyone else, but these Great Gatsby parties are sort of antithetical to the meaning of the book. I'm not passing judgment and I'm certainly not an ascetic, but this new trend is certainly hilarious.

I agree. Much better to call these "Scott and Zelda pre-October 1929" parties. This trend seems to be about finding themes for parties. ;o)
