Hmmm... only 5? Honestly, I need at least 6. Bare minimum.
1. Louis Armstrong
2. John Lennon
3. Tom Hanks
4. Richard Pryor
5. Fred Astaire
6. Carey Grant
Geez, only one of my guys is alive. Disturbing in a way...
I'm a McGuyver type so I can build, fish, cook whatever we need. But having someone romance you, make you laugh and able to put you in a rose-colored haze with their music is my idea of a dream existance anywhere.
Well, if we're just talking hot guys --
Geo. Clooney
Brad Pitt
Robert Redford
(young) Peter O'Toole (or, oh hell, even old Peter O'Toole)
Hugh Grant
If we're talking platonic, then I go for the talkers.
Michael Irvin
Archbishop Desmond Tutu
Jon Stewart
Stephen Fry
Hugh Laurie
tough one, but here goes (in their prime, of course)
Bif Naked
Georgia O'Keefe
Anais Nin
Marla Streb
Johnny Depp
;)
~T~
What was I thinking?!?
Okay, I'm trading Redford in for Depp.
I count Jon Stewart twice. Once to make me laugh, and once as eye candy. I think he is HOT. And when I see old clips of him, mmmmm even hotter.Quote:

I'd take (only considering living people now):
* My brother Adam, whom I can talk with about anything and who understands me like no other
* My step-father Dal, who makes me laugh, makes me think, and really loves me
* One of the "ones who got away" -- one of several guys from my past who could still make my heart flutter (I am happily married for 21 years, but this is a fantasy, right?!)
* Clay Aiken, to sing to me
* A guitar player to accompany Clay -- gotta have music!

thanks cwr, those are really good categories but guys?
do i have to?
since my island has bike trails I'll need someone who can keep me in shape, motivated and likes to ride a bike, can cook, and she knows massage so i'll pic knotted for my team thus saved 3 choices in one! ooh more choices now. :::rubs hands together, thinks:::
since I'm not ms. fix-it, I'll take my plumber, she seems to be able to fix most anything, she's smart and lefty, she was saying the country's going to heck in a handbasket and she'd like to leave so might not mind being stuck on the island. My friend Tammy is more the Jill of all trades but I don't know if either of them can fix bikes and that's important on my island so DebW can you be stranded with us?
Now who needs to clean and keep everything in order? It's an island for gosh sakes the Queen's not showing up for lunch
We'll need a gardener and I pick Vita Sackville West or if she's not available then M. F. K Fisher. Both cook, garden .... and write. I'll need a lot of stuff to read.
So now I'm on an island, riding, eating spam and lentils, soaking in the hottub the plumber built, helping Vita or M. F. K with the weeding and reading what they write what else to do?
I'll want to draw, might as well catch up on the drawing ... my favorite artist really is Alexander Calder but I'm on a roll here....I pick Mary Cassat plus she sould teach me French, might as well pick up a language. What are we on, 4?
We need music so I'll bring my best friend Theresa she plays just about anything.
Oooh Oooh other gals get 6, I'm getting 6....the gardens are fine but what am I a vegan?! (apologize to any vegans on board) but I'll want meat and fish so Chickwhorips can you clear your schedule to be on the island with us? Knotted sez you'll get massage (and lessons in French, concerts, access to the hot tub....)
Why I'd be honored, Trek. Life on a desert island with bike trails, bikes, Knotted, Trek, and a plumber. What could be better? I assume I'll get my share of those messages, right? :D I better start assembling my supply of spare bike parts...Quote:

(and puh-lease don't say "vanilla", cuz I ain't bringin' it!)
And I can cook more than just spam and lentils. Many many years ago I did MFK's trick of putting mandarin orange sections on the heat register. That was divine! Never tried toasting lumps of chocolate on the end of a hat pin, but I'm game! I love all her books. Unfortunately, I "lost custody" of them...
I like Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie tooQuote:

1. Matthew McConnaughey- yummy looking and a sweet talker
2. Tommy Silva from This Old House- he's more versatile than Norm
3. Jimmy Buffett- for music, shrimp, margaritias who knows more about tropical islands
4. Jeffrey Dean Morgan- Denny from Grey's Anatomy - Yummy looking, great deep voice and he cooks!
5. Lance- to keep me motivated and Matthew is his bud. :cool:
