Great Gatsby Hankie Watch

I have received a Great Gatsby Hankie Watch report!

From Emily, one of my long-term readers:

Gatsby Daisy Buchanan Carey Mulligan handkerchief

Daisy Buchanan’s handkerchief for Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby

“I went to a screening of the movie last night. It was fabulous except I will have to go and see it again because I spent the whole movie just on the lookout for the handkerchiefs embroidered by you and your sister! I think I saw one of them in a scene near the end where Daisy, Tom, Nick, Gatsby and Jordan are in the room at the Plaza. She was certainly holding a hankie and it looked like it could be the one that you kept and took a photo of, rather than the one your sister took a photo of. I was with my mum and I had shown her your blog post so we were both on the lookout.”

Oh dear, I did tell readers not to spend the whole movie Hankie Watching just for my sake! I’m sorry, Emily, that you’ll have to go and see it again now, to actually watch the movie itself! However, thank you very much for the report!

My sister is going to see The Great Gatsby tomorrow night (some sort of corporate premiere which a friend of hers has managed to snaffle some tickets to and invited her along. Why they need to have another “premiere” a whole week after the official Australian premiere, I have no idea…!) so she’ll be armed with Emily’s information, and also her own eagle eyes.

I await my sister’s verdict. 🙂 My guess is that our hankies won’t have made it in, but I am happy to be surprised!

    We saw it last week and we think we saw one of them in the almost-final scene, but I couldn’t tell which one it was. We might need to watch it again too. When the DVD comes out it will be easier to constantly freeze frame.

    Woohoo! I’m a movie star… sort of… maybe. 🙂
