Dream Dinner Party...By Invitation Only
Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at 02:00AM
It's that time again...when a varied group of bloggers that make up the group By Invitaton Only formed by the talented and gifted Marsha of Splenderosa, post our version of a given topic...
Today I'm to invite 10 famous or well known people (that cannot be a relative or Jesus), to a dinner party at the place of my choice.
This is a virtual event ...so we can go anywhere in the world.
I've carefully selected the guests and have chosen to have them in my home...where else can you be totally transparent...offer everything you have to give...a piece of your heart and soul, but in your very own home?
That being said...this is a fantasy ...so home can be anything I imagine it to be...The evening will be filled with laughter, sharing and inspiration from a group of people who have influenced many with their personal sense of style and grace.
This is like a dream... a favorite old movie in black and white...
The guests...
Grace Kelley
Audrey Hepburn
Katharine Hepburn
Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis
Princess Diana
Julia Child
Meryl Streep
Diane Keaton
Oprah Winfrey
Michelle Pfeiffer
Annette Bening
and Paul Newman because he could totally handle this many women...
The party lasted well into the night...and I've been able to think of little else for days. Dreams can turn into inspiration ...if we follow them.
Please visit the rest of the group over at Splenderosa to see the fabulous dinner parties they came up with.
It's your turn. Let's talk.

Mona.....love it!!!!! What a wonderful dinner party and I see we share a few of the same guests! I love how its all women and ONE man but oh what a man he is and you are so right he will be able to hold his own in that bevy of beauties, you included. Looks like it was one heck of a soiree.....thanks for sharing.
Sounds a wonderful party, Mona....I love all the guests you have chosen...such beauty and grace and not forgetting Mr. Newman...what a gentleman.
Fabulous...and the candlelit dinner table is just perfect.

I am pretty sure that isn't Katherine Hepburn...
Love all your guests and even better Paul Newman. I met him once here in our little town when he and Joanne were looking at a house, nice people but it never came to be. Looks like a fun group of women and I would love to join in!

Omgosh What a wonderful party that would be, indeed! I agree Mr. Newman could totally handle all those women. I too would love to have so many of the same women at a dinner party. Oh the wonderful conversations that would be happening. Love the last image! xo Kathysue

Oh, I really like the idea of this being mostly women! I didn't think of that, and it's such a nice idea. We could really talk.
Great choice of guests and location. Can I gatecrash?? x Sharon
So sorry I didn't have a chance to join in. Loved all your choices!! I think even my husband would have been happy at this party!!
Mona...what a divine party! I can't think of any better choices for guests...and yes, I totally agree as well about Paul Newman! I guess my invite got lost in cyberspace! Oh well, at least I can keep looking at the fabulous pics and imagine I was there!
Loved it!

Sounds like a wonderful party! I am going to crash this party for sure. So many people that I would love to meet and some that are not living on this earth! . You must have pulled some strings......
Nice selection of dinner guests, all of them intelligent and interesting. One little thought......since you mentioned Jesus, don't you think he might want us to think on a little deeper level, and not be so taken with the shallow concept of "invitaion only". Really, is this high school or what?
Loved this so much. Especially the last photo.
Your blog is looking so fabulous these days.
xo xo
Hope my invitation is in the mail...how fun!
Karen
What a FABULOUS PAR-TAY!!! SO glad I was invited. Heather
Sounds like you had a great party, Mona!
Personally, I would have chosen Robert Redford- heck- both at the party would be perfect!
Loving the blue in your home!
Mari, I'm so sorry that you are offended.
