Alert the masses, The Great Gatsby has finally arrived. The long anticipated Baz Luhrmann mega-flick opens today but this past Monday, designer Tonya Mezrich hosted a private screening for a theatre full of her nearest and dearest. Boston's own East Eggers mixed and mingled at the AMC Loews Boston Common and were treated to an advanced viewing while donning their most magnificent '20s attire.
