The aliens who came to tea

M is for martian martini party at Mama's place (thank you Jenny Matlock of Alphabe-Thursday). As such, I'm belatedly taking up the lovely Kate Takes 5 on her suggestion to assemble a dream guest list.

Now I suspect my fabulous five guests won't actually attend because they are either too famous and paranoid to talk to me, or don't exist in this dimension and would therefore encounter vast logistical difficulties in making greater London for 8pm*.

Interplanetary starter for five.  
But here goes:
  1. Mary Poppins. I suspect she is pretty crazy-fun after five martinis to help the canapés go down. 
  2. Zaphod Beeblebrox. Just this dinner party guy, you know?  
  3. Po from 'Kung Fu Panda'. As an aspiring Soup Developer I am desperate to get my hands on the secret ingredient.
  4. Luc Besson. I'm hoping he can turn my living room into the cool futuristic world from 'The Fifth Element' for an evening. 
  5. Tom Waits. There's got to be music, and I'd imagine the aforementioned four guests are pretty keen on 'Swordfishtrombones'.  
Unlikely as it seems, perhaps the fabulous five will sit down at a martini bar together someday in a galaxy far, far away.
