that overwhelming feeling when something is audacious, impressive, yet utterly superficial and indeed pointless...

it also also useful in defining something which is very funny but a little self-indulgent, attention seeking, or plain eccentric

useful reference points would be the parisian boutique on rue st honore - 'colette' or wallpaper magazine perhaps

monacle magazine is also WELL gatsby
'oh my god this hotel is WELL gatsby'

'look at all this gatsby shit'

'she walked in wearing THE most gatsby outfit imaginable'

A South African fast-food meal, made up of a big gatsby roll (large baked unsliced bread), and filled with either polony, viennas, ham or steak (any meat really) and chips (french fries), salads and sauces (of your choice...ketchup, chilli, etc).....a fantastic ending to night of drinking and partying!! Can be bought at most local take-away shops.
