[New Earth]

1. what if I already did?

I don't think I can name 5. There are really only two, maybe 3. One of which I already did make out with :o If you want to call it that :o Oops, did I say that in a public place? :silly:

1. Ronan Harris from VNV Nation (lyrics, vocals and music)
2. Torben Wendt from Diorama (lyrics, vocals, and music)
3. Jakob Dylan from The Wallflowers :o

:o

[Heidi]

2. Ha!

Me, too, but none of them are on my list. That would be indiscreet. :evilgrin:

Jakob Dylan is a beauty, for sure. Good choice. :thumbsup:

[New Earth]

22. I am usually very discreet about mine

but at this time, this very moment of my post, I felt like mentioning it :P I'm allowed...it's my life too :D

[Chovexani]

11. Did you make out with Ronan?!

(He's hot.) :hide:

[New Earth]

19. yeah he is pretty hot

especially in person. I dunno. It could be him? :shrug:


:hide:

[Jamastiene]

29. You lucky thang, you.

What I would not give to get to make it with my favorites, just one of them. :jealous: :hi: :p

[New Earth]

32. well

so far there's actually been 2 musicians...I won't mention the second one, he's not on the list. But I don't want to show off :P

[supernova]

3. OK

1. Sean Bean
2. Johnny Depp
3. Salvadore Dali (painter )
4 Caravaggio (painter)
5 John Donne (poet and Archbishop of Canterbury)


For some reason, I'm blanking on musicians right now. :shrug:

[Heidi]

4. Come back and add more later.

That's totally allowed (since we're makin' up the rules as we go along). I could spend a lifetime working my way through arists, musicians and writers. :evilgrin:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

5. ok. I will play this game.

1. Neil Young
2. Duane Allman
3. Cat Stevens
4. David Gates
5. Not Telling

[Heidi]

6. Okay, I am in _full_ agreement

with Neil Young, Cat Stevens (he _still_ looks good) and David Gates. Duane Allmann doesn't do much for me, but I have to admit, I've not seen or listened to the Allmans much. :blush:

I have to work on my list of writers. :evilgrin:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

9. I will work on my artists and writers ...

They will probably be all dead ones :O

:hi:

[RetroLounge]

7. My list of Poets

1. Anne Sexton
2. Sylvia Plath
3. Dorothy Parker
4. Sharon Olds
5. Kim Addonizzio

A good poem = Good Sex...

RL

[Heidi]

8. Agree completely with your assessment,

re: "A good poem = ...":thumbsup:

[hisownpetard]

33. Wow, you have good taste! I think you should add Dorianne Laux to that list, though,

and Naomi Shihab Nye.

[RetroLounge]

37. Well, I was limited to 5...

But Dorianne Laux is one sexy writer. I was just reading her book yesterday. Wow!

So many others...

RL

[hisownpetard]

38. Which book of hers were you reading? That's kind of eerie, isn't it?! Did you know

that she was working as a waitress, and Philip Levine came into the diner and they
started up a conversation about poetry. Next thing you know, she's taking one of his classes.
And I believe that he wrote the forward to her first book.

Maybe you can add her to your next list of 5!

[RetroLounge]

41. "Facts about the Moon"

Nice lovely poems in there...

RL

[swag]

10. My list:

Heidi.

Oops! She's taken and so am I.

[Heidi]

12. Out of bounds.

:rofl:

I actually was gonna put you on my artists' list, but I though I might get spanked for "calling out." Am I a wuss, or what? :yoiks:

[krispos42]

13. Kari Byron

Five times.

[Heidi]

15. Why the hell didn't _I_ think of that????

Probably because Leonard Cohen's not exactly youthful, and I have no wish to send him to an early grave. :rofl:

[krispos42]

20. To late, she's mine!

Back! Back! Grrrrr!

:rofl:

[Chovexani]

14. Fun!

1. Tori Amos
2. Trent Reznor
3. Utada Hikaru (Japanese R&B singer)
4. Neil Gaiman (writer, so not my usual type, but his brain is hot.)
5. Gackt (Japanese rock star...I will just post a pic of him so you understand. I like my boys pretty and androgynous and a little bit crazy.)

[terrya]

16. Ok...

1) IntravenousDemilo...DUer and brilliant composer and writer (ok, I have a very personal reason for mentioning him. :-))

25. If you like David Choe...

He has an online show on VBS called "Thumbs Up!" where he hitchhikes across the US.
http://www.vbs.tv/shows/index.php?show=Thumbs%20Up!

As for artists/musicians/writers I'd make out with, I have no idea, but I do know that Karen O from Yeah Yeah Yeahs is high on the list, haha.

[lizziegrace]

26. Mine

Viggo Mortensen (writer/photographer Viggo ;) )
Ellis Paul (singer/songwriter)

sorry, I can only come up with two (that I'm willing to post on a public board...)

[tainted_chimp]

27. off the top of my head....

ooh...i have to agree heartily with your Leonard Cohen!

ok:


1. Erik Satie




2. ee cummings




3. Annemarie Schwarzenbach - writer




4. Kurt Weill




5. Spaulding Grey

[Call Me Wesley]

28. Annemarie Schwarzenbach?

I'm curious here, how did you get to know her works if I might ask? She's hardly someone you could call known at all.

[tainted_chimp]

34. In my typical fashion..

while researching something else entirely, I stumbled across a picture of her accidentally, and became instantly entranced by her expressive eyes.

I found out that there was a documentary made about her called Une Suisse Rebelle (2000) that i've been trying to get my hands on it ever since....and also a movie made about her, based on her travels in Afghanistan called Reise nach Kafiristan, Die (2001).

[Call Me Wesley]

43. I lived next to her home for some time,

and I knew the family's dark history.

I just checked, I think both movies are available here but first 'Une Suisse Rebelle' is in French/German (Swiss-French televison production) and 'Die Reise nach Kafiristan' is only in German.

[tainted_chimp]

45. Thanks for checking....

I hope they release them with english subtitles some day.

I'm fascinated that you lived next door.....i'd love to visit there one day. :toast:
I'm in the process of conquering my fear of airplanes, so it may be sooner than i'd have imagined.


Cheers!

[Call Me Wesley]

46. Not next door, but a few minutes away.

I grew up as a neighbor to Thomas and Katia Mann. He was already dead then, but I still saw her a few times as a little kid on my way to school. She was this very old lady getting in this very old car; the door being held open by her driver.

I wouldn't count on English subtitles there. The movie was made for a French-German-Swiss art channel (ARTE), and I've never found any of their productions available in English, and I wanted a few myself. :(

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. OK, my dear Heidi...I'm game!

Mine:

1. D.H.Lawrence (writer)
2. James Joyce (ditto)
3. Walt Whitman (yowza)
4. Picasso (artist)
5. You know this one...not sayin'!:blush:

:bounce: :bounce:

[Jamastiene]

35. Living or dead you say? Okay, first off, Courtney Love...

My list:

1. Courtney Love (Yes! I'd so make out with her if I had half a chance. I can't help it. She is a tall, blonde, gorgeous, sexy goddess to me. I don't stand a chance, but still...
2. Deborah Harry
3. Joan Jett
4. Nancy Spungeon (ok, technically didn't make it as a musician but she could sing)
5. Kurt Cobain

On edit: Oops! I could have read the instructions better. Sorry, RTFI is not one of my strong points. In any case, everyone can ignore everyone I mentioned in 6 through 10. I'm such a :dunce: today.





6. River Phoenix
7. Joey Ramone (I soooo wanted to have a son by him.)
8. Otep Shamaya
9. Sid Vicious, just because
10. Iggy is God.

That's my list. Oddly enough, it's split right down the middle with the males/females ratio there. I normally don't touch men if I can help it, but as you can see, when it comes to musicians, especially punk rock musicians, I sometimes would go bi. Of course, half of my list is also dead too, unfortunately.

[LeftyMom]

39. Can I bring hair clippers to this encounter? It changes the order of the list if I can.

:)

[Heidi]

51. Go for it!

:thumbsup:

[Cabcere]

42. Awww...only five?

:P haha. OK, I'll give it a shot, although mine will probably be considered cheating...

1) Any/all of the guys from Monty Python (because they're writers/artists, yes?) :D
2) The Beatles (well, maybe not so much John - *ducks flying rotten fruit* - he's just not my type, but he wrote some bloody good songs, so I wouldn't totally rule him out, you know? ;))
3) Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, and/or David Gilmour (Syd mainly for his looks, Roger mainly for his lyrics, and David mainly for his smile and guitar playing. Yes, I'm shallow, so sue me.) :P
4) Roger Daltrey (circa 1970) - sure, he's only as tall as I am, but that hair and that chest and that voice... :9 Very nice! (I wouldn't say no to John Entwistle, either - from that era or any other. :thumbsup:)
5) Josh Groban (nice voice, good-looking, and only a few years older than me! ;))

OK, so there you have it - my probably-incomplete-even-though-I-cheated list of writers/artists/musicians I'd make out with in a heartbeat. :hi:

[mvd]

44. Here are five (giving a couple older singers a chance, since it's all time)

Andrea Corr
Susanna Hoffs
Alison Sudol
Cyndi Lauper
Leslie Mills

There are some others who are equally crush-worthy.

[last_texas_dem]

47. Alright, here goes...

First, I'll second mvd's pick of Susanna Hoffs of the Bangles. The rest of my list would include Michelle Branch, Anna Nalick, Bobbie Gentry (if I could time travel to the late-sixties), and Ann Wilson of Heart (if I could time travel to the mid-seventies Dreamboat Annie/Little Queen era).

(I may be forgetting a more obvious pick, but I shouldn't give this too much thought as I'm supposed to be working on a research paper right now anyway!)

[Deja Q]

48. well, you could have said "When they were alive" instead of insinuating necrophilia...

ewww..

[billyskank]

49. Can I choose you?

You're an artist. :D

[Heidi]

50. !

Welcome back! :hug: :hug:

52. I can only think of two

Lukas Rossi


Gordon Gano of the Violent Femmes

[RFKHumphreyObama]

54. Mine

1. Mary Pinchot Meyer -artist and President Kennedy's ex-mistress. Hey, what can I say, the guy had taste.
2. Bonnie Hunt -actress/director. Also Lindsay Wagner -same profession
3. Bonnie Raitt -singer
4. Jennifer Warnes -singer
5. Jane Austen -author.

[lizziegrace]
