Robin Scherbatsky (How I Met Your Mother): Robin is as close as the show has to a female Barney. She can hold her booze and looks out for her friends. And is more or less drama-free despite being afraid of the dark (like most Canadians). Has a slight weakness for paunchy, balding failed musicians.
Kara "Starbuck" Thrace (Battlestar Galactica): Starbuck is the baddest pilot in the Colonial Fleet. She can also drink and play cards with the best of 'em. She can provide security for even the drunkest gang of girls. There is a chance, though, that she's going to punch someone or fall in love with the wrong guy. And coordinating her shore leave from the Galactica may be a pain.
Lois Griffin (Family Guy): Lois does her best to keep the Peter from destroying the family, the house and the town of Quahog, to varying levels of success. And she seems to keep her 3 kids in line while staying cool. In fact, she took Meg (stupid Meg) on spring break and was the life of the party. She may be a little preoccupied with what’s going on at home while she everyone else tries to have fun at Chip N Dales.
Nancy Botwin (Weeds): Nancy is the coolest, drug-dealingest mamasita in all of Agrestic, CA if not all of SoCal. In addition to moving pounds of pot and kilos of other assorted narcotics, she seems irresistible to the menfolk. She's incredibly loyal as she remains friends with Celia despite being sold out constantly. The only problem is that she may get shot at or kidnapped at any moment.
Tyra Collette (Friday Night Lights): Like her ex-boyf Timmy Riggins, Tyra would be an excellent addition to any bachelorette party. Her intimate knowledge of the exotic dance business would help the bachelorette group from looking like a bunch of amateurs. Like many of the gals on this list, she doesn't get along with lots of women.
Margene Heffman (Big Love): Bill Henrickson's 3rd wife is a young ball of fire. While she ‘s adheres closely to the tenets of the LDS church and a bit on the naïve side, she’s also open-minded. Despite her youth, she'd be a good "fun mom" for any bachelorette party. Check out her blog and tell me she's not delightful. Can't, can ya?
Serena van der Woodsen (Gossip Girl): Serena brings the fun everywhere she goes, it’s just everyone else who has drama. On the plus side, you'd never have to wait in line at a club or buy your own drink. On the down side, everything you did that wasn't captured by the stalker-azzi would wind up on GossipGirl.com. It might be a good idea to invite B (Blair Waldorf, not that I watch this show), while she wouldn't come she'd make your life heck for the snub.
Betty Suárez (Ugly Betty): Betty may be a nerdy, brace-faced assistant for the fashion mag Mode. She may lack in grace, style, looks and worldliness, she more than makes up for it in aw-shucks charm, book smarts and can-do attitude. On top of that, she'll probably keep a level head and I've heard women absolute love makeovers. She could use a makeover.
Peggy Olson (Mad Men): The secretary-cum-junior executive at the Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency. Despite a few serious psychological issues and bad relationship choices, Peggy would be a great addition to any bachelorette party. She has smarts, conviction and enough confidence to get any job done. It was a flip of a coin to pick her over coworker Joan Holloway. That one's trouble.
Dr. Eliot Reed (Scrubs): Sure she's a spaz and has more issues than Newsweek (no, not funny?), but Dr. Reed knows how to have a good time. As long as you're up for karaoke and not talking about genitalia in non-childish terms, she's a great addition to any party. It's always nice to have a doctor along on any adventure, even one who sabotages herself as frequently.
Honorable Mentions:
- Sookie Stackhouse (True Blood): Telepathy would be great addition, otherwise she's sort of a downer.
- Meredith Palmer (The Office): She is a party animal. Also, if some dude will not leave you alone, she'll happily jump on the grenade.
Dishonorable Mentions: The Cast Of Grey's Anatomy. The women of Seattle Grace manage to ruin even the happiest moments with their sullenness, stodginess and solipsism. Feel free not to invite them to the wedding while you're at ti.
Thoughts? Did we miss anyone good?
