Love Heals' "A Night with Gatsby" was a soiree to evoke the feel of the legendary parties thrown by the Great Gatsby himself. The 1920s-themed event brought the best of the Jazz Age to Luna Farm! Hamptonites wined, dined, and danced beneath the pale moonlight to the tunes of DJ Cassidy at Sagaponack's famed private horse farm, as jaunty bartenders in sharp period attire tipped their straw hats and freely poured festive bubbly.

Love Heals, the Alison Gertz Foundation for AIDS Education, was founded by Gertz's best pals-Stefani Green-field, Dini von Mueffling, and Victoria Leacock-after Gertz's death from the disease in 1992.

Those taking in the jazzy festivities: Diane von Furstenberg, Donny Deutsch, Star Jones Reynolds, Judge (and Manhattan D.A. hopeful) Leslie Crocker Snyder and Fred Snyder, Reed Krakoff, Amanda Hearst, Eric Villency, Aby Rosen and Samantha Boardman, Marva Hicks, Minnie Mortimer, Jeffrey Slonim, Susan Shin, Shoshanna Lonstein Gruss, Lori Shabtai, and Bronson Van Wyck. Not your usual farm-like evening!
