I’ve chosen the winner of the CLOSE ENCOUNTERS contest. It was very difficult to do. I mean, the contest was to say who (ahem—whom) you’d choose to have sex with in a blue tube, were you to be abducted by aliens. How was I supposed to choose the best answer?
For example, Rach chose a sexy serial killer/gay undertaker. We had two requests each for Hugh Jackman and David Tennant (only two!?) and two for Pierce Brosnan, and four for fictional characters—five if you count Lorraine asking for the hero of her own wip. Kathy did her usual selection of someone barely legal, on a video I couldn’t access from this country. We had Tom Cruise, Robert Pattinson, Peter Andre and his ex Katie Price (separately), a whole bunch of country and western artists (unsurprisingly, from Biddy and Danielle) and one alien Blue Opera Singer.

Who’s the alien? You decide.
In the end I had to choose a winner by random draw. But first I have a couple of runners-up. Girls, I don’t have a prize for you, but you do get eternal fame from being featured on this here blog.
Ruth was quite frightening in choosing nearly all men who I would also welcome naked in a blue tube. I’m not convinced about Rob Lowe (too much jaw), but I’m all over David Tennant, Ewan McGregor in biker gear, and Captain Picard. Good taste, my woman. As a reward, I may have to challenge you to a duel.
Janet Mullany had the post that made me laugh. Her choice was:
At this point, just about anyone with a pulse.
As a reward, I will pimp her book, A Most Lamentable Comedy, a hilariously funny and feelgood and intelligent Regency chick lit from Little Black Dress. Buy it!
But the winner, by random draw, was Gail, who emailed me her fantasies about Tom Cruise from Top Gun with the body of Christiano Ronaldo, holding some baby oil. Totally…I’m sure the aliens could arrange that! Gail, I’ll email you soon to get your address to send you a copy of the book.


Don’t forget the gene splicing and baby oil, boys.
Thanks everyone for playing!

“a whole bunch of country and western artists (unsurprisingly, from Biddy and Danielle)”
