I have been tagged by the very lovely Jeri over at The Life and Times of JVS and the rules are:
At your perfect dinner party you can invite;
5 guests + yourself, relatives allowed but it’s more interesting if it’s a public figure.
Dead or Alive
Any language.
Fictional characters allowed!
Ideally my dinner party guests would include all of you and copious amounts of cocktails – what an evening that would be and you wouldn’t want to pay that bar bill either! However, as we are spread throughout the world I think it is highly unlikely, so here are my second choices:
Alan Carr – camp comedian who’s a little bit naughty with a wicked sense of humour, not unlike myself!
Adele – Not only does she write and sing kick-ass songs but she made a fortune out of the jerk that dumped her – think there may be a lesson there for me!
Dame Edna – well we’d need someone with good taste and a sense of decorum!
Ricky Gervais – brilliant performer and his laugh is soooo infectious!
And finally you can never have enough Dolly!
So now I hand the baton across to: elladee, cocoaupnorth and No Holds Barred
And last but by no means least eyesOfOdysseus
May your day be filled with sunshine and smiles.
What a glorious ensemble – light the blue touch paper and Stan well back!
I think it would be a bit of a raucous night!
Oh to be the fly on the wall
That would be some party!
Me too, FOR SURE Ricky Gervais!! Love him!
I just love his laugh
That’s a very inventive guest list you have there.
Thanks for not tagging me. I’d rather read about other bloggers’ crazy ideas. 
Awards and tags are lovely but do require a lot of work and alongside everything else sometimes its just not possible and yet you don’t want to offend anyone – I do have some other nominations to catch up on so let me know if you can think of anyone that would benefit from an award.
Stephen Fry, Oscar Wilde, Noel Coward, Leonard Cohen and Kylie on roller skates serving the drinks! great post. thanks for writing. Greetings from Thailand. K
Can Kylie skate? Excellent choices though!
Can see that you’re going to get a very interesting and funny evening . Some party coming up.
How would I invite ???
Victor Borge – Greta Garbo – Björn Borg – Gordon Ramsey – Seal
Good choices although Gordan Ramsay scares me a little!
He is really a funny and pleasant guy .. met him in London a couple of years ago.
Reblogged this on KafeMandela and commented:
Get Well Smart & 99:
Thank you very much – a great compliment indeed!
JUDI DENCH, of course, just because, and MERYL (can you imagine those two in the same room, what fun!), PAUL NEWMAN (who started a food company and gave all the after tax profits to charity), ALICE WATERS (the great restauranteur that started the whole school garden movement in the U.S.) ROBERT REDFORD (great environmentalist), Former U.S. Attorney General RAMSEY CLARK (U.S. Government whistleblower who tells the truth), and okay, BJORN BORG. That’s two over, sorry.
Fantastic choices – think I’d add Dame Maggie Smith as well – I’ve always thought she would make an amazing Miss Haversham
Excellent choice of dinner guests!
Thank you – they are all of course, my second choices and my first would be my fellow bloggers
What a party! haha, I would love to be there and see how it would go!
I think we’d laugh for England and drink the bar dry
Would love to be a fly on the wall at this dinner party
What a great line up. And Dolly! I would never have thought of her…but yes! How great would it be to have dinner w/ Dolly
My dinner party theme would be laughter and I think all of these guests would contribute wholeheartedly
An eclectic wee group… How about Eddie (Izzard), too. Just for some added naughtiness?
Love him too – I think he may be a bit wicked!
Sounds like fun. I’m in but so long as I can come to your perfect dinner party… [I'm away for a few days, but I'll put my thinking cap on and this exercise will be the next post cab off my rank]
who would you want to sit next to?
I’d have to sit between you and Alan Carr so I’m in good company when my personality begins to sparkle after a few drinks
fantastic because after a couple of drinks I think I’m the dancing queen
Finally, my post is up http://elladeewords.wordpress.com/2012/09/22/come-over-for-a-barbie-mate/
I have a feeling my note to let you know how much fun I had doing my own perfect dinner party post, and that it is now up, went to your spam folder because I included the link…
Helloooooooo – my notifications are all over the place but I’m on it like a car bonnet! So just popped over and had a nosey – as you do! I’m glad you entered into the spirit of the post – I enjoyed putting the post together too. Thought you’d put a lot of thought into your guest list!
Wow! What a lineup. Sounds like a pretty kickass cocktail party. Count me in. -Rene
You would be more than welcome!
Please can I come?
Of course, you would be my first choice!
Yay
Tink…The Dame and Dolly are inspired. Those broads would get along famously. And throw Ricky and Alan in the mix and I’d spend more time spitting out my drinks than swallowing them. But then Adele to the rescue. OOOOOh…A Dolly and Adele Duet for dessert? With more cocktails of course.
And little old me who thinks she’s the dancing queen after two sherbets!
I bet you ARE the Dancing Queen Tink! No doubt.
Now there’s a dinner party worth attending – would be hilarious
I can dream!
I so want to be there!
we’d have a riot and possibly a rather large hangover in the morning!
im late on this and i know you can only tag five other bloggers..but id love to get your honorary “sixth” person that has to undertake this exercise..how bout it??? i guess i could always just go ahead and set this up for myself, but ii almost feel like a tag from you would make it real….
thanks in advance!!
Fantastic idea – the tagging game is such good fun – look forward to reading! kisses to odie x
I have added you to the post so the gauntlet has now been well & truly laid down! Look forward to seeing who you choose!
