A Banquet is Announced!

May 29th, 2020
In an earlier discussion I asked for suggestions for a fantasy dinner party, people were asked to suggest five guests and a model. We had some really great suggestions so I thought it might be good to gather them all together and have a fantasy Banquet! So here is the Banquet guest list. Of course all who contributed to the earlier discussion are also invited! Errors and omissions are entirely my fault!

1998 dom perignon for the initial toast!

what i'm doing on the list is beyond me. it would be like the poor cousin from the farthest side of the tracks. but i could take a group selfie with an iphone but some of them might have a heart attack if i do.

ATTENTION: next composite winner - how about a group portrait with some of the people on the list? that would be interesting.
