which five people would you like to spend your time with?
1) Marie Antoinette, Queen of France – “Pardonnez-moi, monsieur.” (to her executioner)
2) Coco Chanel – “As soon as you set foot on a yacht you belong to some man, not to yourself, and you die of boredom.”
3) Audrey Hepburn – “I don’t want to be alone, I want to be left alone.”
4) Marilyn Monroe – “Do I look happy? I should—for I was a child nobody wanted. A lonely girl with a dream—who awakened to find that dream come true. I am Marilyn Monroe. Read my Cinderella story.”
5) Blair Waldorf - “Haven’t you heard? I’m the crazy bitch around here.”
We’d talk about fashion and dresses… We’d talk about men — but only the significant ones like Truman Capote and Harry Winston. Yes, I believe diamonds will be discussed! I’d want to learn as much as I can from these women. I’d absorb everything like a sponge… If their beauty, grace and charm are somehow contagious, I so wanna catch it! I’ll take any advice that these women can give me.
After a while we’ll be talking about sordid scandals and affairs. We’d talk about the Queen’s sensual escapades — if they were true, about Coco Chanel’s time as Balsan’s mistress, and Blair, how is The Chuck Bass in bed??? ^^
Then we’ll talk about being misjudged and misunderstood. About their pains of being constantly scrutinized by the public eye and the pressure of having to meet everyone’s expectations.
And just before they disappear, I wanna hear it…. the truth. I wanna hear their side of the story. And if they’d let me, I shall write myself into exhaustion until I am able to tell the world of their untold stories.
Yes I have shamelessly copy pasted parts of my old post Virtual Dinner Party. check it out if you want a more detailed description of how I intend to welcome my 5 guests. ^^
So I’d rather be around people who are either dead or fictional. I wonder what that says about me…
I’d have picked your first 4 on a heartbeat!!!
Excellent list… especially those first 4… fashion, style, behavior, strong persona… you’ve hit it all!
Greetings from La Paz, Bolivia!
thank you! ^^ just curious who would’ve been your 5th? i was thinking Princess D but i opted for Blair for support, lol, i wanted a “commoner” like me to be there as well ^^
I’m not sure… I’d also have gone with a “commoner”… but still, with a hint of ‘light’… maybe Madonnna…
Somebody who, somehow, found a way to make herself noticed… and still does… maybe her… my 5th… Thanks for replying! Fun prompt!
oh she’s my idol!! excellent choice! ^^ thanks for commenting as well ^^
Kudos for the Blair choice! In the battle Blair vs Carrie, Carrie won in my case. I do love Blair!
i chose between the two too but blair was an easy pick — i guess i wanted to be the only writer there.lol ^^
Definetly an eclectic list, however I think they are great choices.
thank you
Sofia Coppola’s Marie-Antoinette, you’ll see me in this movie…
reall?omg that’s so cool.. which part?i’m gonna watch it again! ^^
The bal… In the opera.. People are dancing and I discuss..
Nice choices. I like Coco Chanel, Blair Waldorf, and Audrey Hepburn. I would probably add Katherine Hepburn to that mix. Unless I have to pick men. Then it would be Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant, Raymond Chandler, and maybe Jean Paul Belmondo.
Humphrey Bogart and Cary Grant, i wanna meet them too!! but i’ve decided on a girls-only party ^^

Why all dead people? Just curious…
Maybe the last one is alive…? not familiar with the name.
