This is.... my perfect dinner party guest list

So Lily and Agathe have chosen a doozy for this weeks installment of this is.... The deal is, you get to choose 6 people, either living or dead, to come to dinner. So who will it be? I'm the kind of person who likes a lively heated debate over red wine and a good meal, so I think I will choose some people who will add a little fire into the mix. Maybe these people may even have a few questions and answers for each other! So here they are:

Karl Marx. I think he would have a thing or two to say about how things are today.Jesus Christ. How interesting would it be to meet him? I think he would have a thing or two to say as well- about war in his name, for one. Nick Cave. I've seen the man in action on stage, but I'd love to chat to him.Mary Woolenstonecraft. Feminist, activist, pioneer. Author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. Mohammed the Last Prophet. He would be interesting to meet too.Mary Ann Fowler. This is my great great great great (phew) grandmother. She came to Australia from Dublin as a convict. Obviously I don't have any photo's of her, but I would love to meet her. I'd love to ask her what happened to bring her here, and how her life unfolded. She got pregnant on the ship on the way over, and had her baby in the Parramatta Female Factory. What a life.His Holiness the Dalai Lama. I saw this man speak once, and he has a radiance that positively glows. He is just lovely.Aung San Suu Kyi. What an amazing and courageous woman.

And what would I cook them? Not a lot... I reckon I'd get them to bring a plate!! ;o) Imagine the sort of food you'd get through the ages, and through the different cultures!

Wow I would like to be a fly on the wall at that dinner party.

Jenny said...

Wow! I can't imagine the table conversation!! Very amazing guests!

Me said...

Can I sneak along? Can I Can I Can I??
I think with the impending conversation food would be unnecessary...maybe just the wine? ;)

Drewzel said...

Nick and the Dalai Lama almost made it onto my list too :D I wish I'd thought of Marx, I'd love to chat to him!
One of my great greats greats came over as a convict too, and also got preganat on the ship on the way over. Have you read that book 'The Floating Brothel'? (my rellie is mentioned in that.) Maybe my great great great knew yours?

Fab list!

Bec said...

Wow! I don't think I'd like to be involved in the dinner party conversation (I'd be so worried about whether my contribution was 'high brow' enough, that I'd probably get all flustered and blurt out a fart joke or something), but boy would I love to be a fly on the wall watching it!!!!!

Betty said...

fascinating and thoughtful list. I agree, a bring-a-plate dinner may be best ;-) thanks for sharing

AnastasiaC said...

a real interesting mix of guests...there will either be some serious discussions or heated arguments heehee

LouLou said...
