Multicultural Guest Service Enhances Suburban Parties

[Rambuchan]

OMG - check this out...

Gerry and Maddie McMonahan of Paoli, PA, wanted to impress their new neighbors in their development with their "hip" friends from their old neighborhood, but sadly, they had none. That is, until they saw an ad for Party People in The House, LLC, in Philadelphia magazine.

Known as Party Peeps, the year-old Philadelphia-based company offers a rainbow of ethnic and cultural "city types" who will gladly attend the most mundane suburban shindigs and pretend to be the client's best friends, college roommates, ex-lovers, or former traveling companions, showing all in attendance just how cultured and connected the host is.

Below is a selection of the kind of people Party Peeps provides in their service. Please answer these two simple questions:

1) Say you can only get three of the following to your party, which three would you choose?

2) Which one are you yourself most like?

Diverse Menu

Party Peeps offers a large menu of colorful "characters" guaranteed to add some flavor (and flava!) to any fête, captivating guests with their choice of diverse lifestyles, fascinating professions and abstruse interests. Invite one, or chose a group of these "party peeps" a la carte. Here's a sampling of the menu:

1 - Acerbic, Intellectual/Stylish Gay - The real ones are hard to find without this service. "You know, give me one like the guys on Queer Eye!" customers proclaim

2 - Hispanic Deejay - Edgy; extra charge for turntables and records

3 - Serious Black Artist/Intellectual - Wearing traditional African garb and wire-rim spectacles (gray dreads optional)

4 - Sexy Grad Student from Italy or Greece - Both genders available! Always ready to flirt Mediterranean-style with your guests

5 - The Well-Heeled Wine Expert - Older, genteel gent in corduroy blazer ready to expound on the virtues of whatever fine "vintages" you were able to scrounge from the clearance bin at Discount Liquor Barn

6 - Important Japanese Filmmaker - Chain-smokes and constantly talks about his (or her!) love of Jimi Hendrix and Yasmine Bleeth

7 - Cute Asian-Girl Designer - Who is obsessed with Hello Kitty and all things Sanrio

8 - Prim-but-Sexy British Couple - Equipped with posh accents and wonderfully saucy stories; think Hugh Grant and Emma Thompson

9 - Alterna-Chick - Caustic, dismissive (claims to have no idea what Dawson's Creek is) yet oddly approachable

10 - Saucy Woman of a Certain Age - One part Mrs. Roper, one part Mrs. Robinson, she's frowsy, blowsy, and doesn't act her age!

11 - Singer-Songwriter Guy - Scruffily handsome and a good listener, possibly kickin' the habit (extra charge for acoustic guitar)

12 - Australian World Traveler - Will put up with every lame Crocodile Dundee reference your guests make and show off his alligator-wrestling scars with very little prompting

13 - Mysterious Psychic/Spiritualist - Enchants all with spot-on predictions and ornate dress and accessories (also very slutty); think of a young Stevie Nicks. Also available: Drag Psychic

14 - Activists - Will tell you what's wrong with everything

15 - Computer Guy in Band - He's got big hands and feet; he will tell you how to install proper virus protection or how lame the latest Modest Mouse CD is.

Is it just me, or does that strike anyone else as pathetically shallow? Good Lord, if they want multicultural friends, go out and make them. Don't hire them!

 

[Rambuchan]

Please answer the two simple questions.

 

[bhsup]

Please answer the two simple questions.

Oops, sorry. I was so engrossed at the pathetic-ness of it all that I missed your questions!

1) Say you can only get three of the following to your party, which three would you choose?

Hispanic Deejay - Edgy; extra charge for turntables and records: I like Herb Albert!

Activists - Will tell you what's wrong with everything: If I'm lucky, it would be the lovely Ann Coulter.

Prim-but-Sexy British Couple - Equipped with posh accents and wonderfully saucy stories; think Hugh Grant and Emma Thompson: For no particular reason other than I just like all things British.

Which one are you yourself most like?

Of that list, the computer geek. Though I'm not really one, I'm thoroughly comfortable with computers, which seems to make my family think I have a PhD in "all things remotely related to computers or electronics." Frankly, it's quite irritating as they ask me things I've no clue about most of the time and they wonder why.

 

[Rambuchan]

A nice straight answer there and a fine selection of multi-cultural guests Mr Agent. Yours would be an interesting party for sure!

 

[bhsup]

You know what would really be funny? ONLY invite people from this company, but have the company ensure that they only send people who don't already know the others also work at the company. Just a party of goobers standing around pretending to be folks they're not.

 

[skadistic]

1) 4 - Sexy Grad Student from Italy or Greece - Both genders available! Always ready to flirt Mediterranean-style with your guests

4 - Sexy Grad Student from Italy or Greece - Both genders available! Always ready to flirt Mediterranean-style with your guests

4 - Sexy Grad Student from Italy or Greece - Both genders available! Always ready to flirt Mediterranean-style with your guests

See thats a party!

2) 4 - Sexy Grad Student from Italy or Greece - Both genders available! Always ready to flirt Mediterranean-style with your guests
(not from the med or a grad student but am dead sexy and flirt alot

 

[Oerdin]

I wonder why I didn't think of this. Sure, it is sad but the world is a sad place and you can make money pandering to the needs of insecure people.

 

[Pontiuth Pilate]

What? No Jewish guys? C'mon! WE IS EXOTIC!






Aw who am I fooling.

 

[Dann]

Is this for real? What is our world turning to?

Anyway I'll play along.

1) Say you can only get three of the following to your party, which three would you choose?

4 - Sexy Grad Student from Italy or Greece - Both genders available! Always ready to flirt Mediterranean-style with your guests
7 - Cute Asian-Girl Designer - Who is obsessed with Hello Kitty and all things Sanrio
9 - Alterna-Chick - Caustic, dismissive (claims to have no idea what Dawson's Creek is) yet oddly approachable

2) Which one are you yourself most like?

None. I'm in a class of my own.

 

[Truronian]

One of my best freinds is a Number 1 (teehee). I am also aquainted with a Number 5, a Number 9, and a Number 11 (although he recently turned emo). With the exception of Number 1 and possibly Number 11 they are all generally people I avoid at social gatherings.

To answer the questions:

1) 6, 12 and 14 (Japanese film maker, Australian and activist)

2) Probably a straight/asexual version of 1. (I'm really interesting enough to fit any of these catagories)

Oh, man, they could do a reality tv show on that...


Come to think of it, they probably already have...

 

[joycem10]

I want the cougar, aka "Saucy Woman of a Certain Age", the hot asian chick and the computer geek to help me install a vid card for civ iv.

Out of the above im like the cougar, except male.

 

[The Last Conformist]

I'll have the sexy grad student (female), the wine expert, and the saucy woman, I think. I'll switch saucy woman for the serious African intellectual if I get to chose his field.

I'm probably most like the acerbic intellectual gay, but that aint saying much. The sexy grad might be an option too, depending on subject and how attractive you find beards.

 

[Mathilda]

1 - Acerbic, Intellectual/Stylish Gay - The real ones are hard to find without this service. "You know, give me one like the guys on Queer Eye!" customers proclaim

Why not.

2 - Hispanic Deejay - Edgy; extra charge for turntables and records

No thanks, I don't have any problem with Hispanics or djs, but the combination might be too much

3 - Serious Black Artist/Intellectual - Wearing traditional African garb and wire-rim spectacles (gray dreads optional)

No, too ott, I wouldn't feel comfortable.

4 - Sexy Grad Student from Italy or Greece - Both genders available! Always ready to flirt Mediterranean-style with your guests

Depends on type of party, ok for some, not necessary for others.

5 - The Well-Heeled Wine Expert - Older, genteel gent in corduroy blazer ready to expound on the virtues of whatever fine "vintages" you were able to scrounge from the clearance bin at Discount Liquor Barn

Ugh, no thanks. Too snobbish.

6 - Important Japanese Filmmaker - Chain-smokes and constantly talks about his (or her!) love of Jimi Hendrix and Yasmine Bleeth

My friends aren't arty enough for that, wouldn't work.

7 - Cute Asian-Girl Designer - Who is obsessed with Hello Kitty and all things Sanrio

Cute Asian Girl Hello Kitty So overall

8 - Prim-but-Sexy British Couple - Equipped with posh accents and wonderfully saucy stories; think Hugh Grant and Emma Thompson

Yeah, that could be fun.

9 - Alterna-Chick - Caustic, dismissive (claims to have no idea what Dawson's Creek is) yet oddly approachable

What is Dawson's Creek? Don't see the appeal.

10 - Saucy Woman of a Certain Age - One part Mrs. Roper, one part Mrs. Robinson, she's frowsy, blowsy, and doesn't act her age!

Now there's a part I could play

11 - Singer-Songwriter Guy - Scruffily handsome and a good listener, possibly kickin' the habit (extra charge for acoustic guitar)

Yes please And I'll play extra for the guitar as well.

12 - Australian World Traveler - Will put up with every lame Crocodile Dundee reference your guests make and show off his alligator-wrestling scars with very little prompting

Not very interesting.

13 - Mysterious Psychic/Spiritualist - Enchants all with spot-on predictions and ornate dress and accessories (also very slutty); think of a young Stevie Nicks. Also available: Drag Psychic

Oh no, reminds me too much of my mum.

14 - Activists - Will tell you what's wrong with everything

Hmm, not really my idea of a party.

15 - Computer Guy in Band - He's got big hands and feet; he will tell you how to install proper virus protection or how lame the latest Modest Mouse CD is.

Did I pick three allready or do I have to take this one as well?

 

[Masquerouge]

Ah. I'll have the gay, the hispanic and the black, and invite them to Klan meetings

 

[shortguy]

British couple, Filmaker, and Aussie.

What am I? Sexy grad student, but of course.

 

[ummmm........]

I'm none of these people. So there goes my ego for the evening . . .

I'd invite 4, 7 & 8

 

[Shaihulud]

3 - Serious Black Artist/Intellectual - Wearing traditional African garb and wire-rim spectacles (gray dreads optional)

4 - Sexy Grad Student from Italy or Greece - Both genders available! Always ready to flirt Mediterranean-style with your guests

12 - Australian World Traveler - Will put up with every lame Crocodile Dundee reference your guests make and show off his alligator-wrestling scars with very little prompting

I will depend on my neighbourhood. A black intellectual will always go well in any parties, it makes you look internationale, it willl be a boon to me at this point in time. Sexy Grad Student from Italy or Greece, nobody needs to question their place in any parties , surprisingly I will recommend a few male versions, because i take care of all my guests. Australian World Traveler, i feel comfortable with Australians, propably because of our common low background, hahahah!

 

[amadeus]

If I wanted to show off how "hip" I was, I'd get the gay guy, the Japanese filmmaker, and the British couple.

The gay guy shows how tolerant and progressive I am, the Japanese guy of how deep and artsy I can be, and the British show a sense of traditional intellectualism.

I myself am the activist. I've routinely told many of you what's wrong with everything and how to solve it.
