Show & Tell Tuesday: My Best Dinner Party

I've done a few Show & Tell Tuesdays, and I thought this week's was a fun one: 

What 5 people would you invite for dinner at your house?

I decided everybody had to be alive - the list would get infinitely harder if I could invite Jesus to dinner! Once I started thinking about who I wanted to include, I realized I was mainly thinking about women. {Because GIRL POWER} Then I realized I had picked 1 person from TV, 1 author, etc. And that made this list super cool in my own humble opinion. So can I stop talking about my list and just tell y'all already?!?! Okay!

ONE

I have had a girl crush on Mariska Hargitay for a million years. One of my favorite shows is Law & Order: SVU and largely for Mariska. She is a mother to 3 children {2 are adopted and about 6 months apart in age!}, a women's right advocate, beautiful {she's Jayne Mansfield's daughter}. How amazing would it be to talk to her?

TWO

If you don't know I am pretty much obsessed with Outlander, you haven't been reading my blog for very long. Diana Gabaldon has written 8 of my favorite books of all time and created an amazing world and cast of characters I can't imagine life without. She also has a Ph.D., has been married for over 40 years, and has 3 children. What a woman!

THREE

I'm cheating a little by inviting all 3 Dixie Chicks, but to get the magic of the group, you need all 3! These native Texans are amazing singers and musicians, talented songwriters, witty, sassy, amazing! Look at all those Grammy's! My goal would be to talk them back into the recording studio.

FOUR

When you created the part of Elpheba in Wicked AND are the voice of Princess Elsa in Frozen, you get invited to dinner. Idina Menzel has one of the most amazing voices I have ever heard in my life. She's won a Tony, people! And I might be able to talk her into singing Let It Go or Defying Gravity?

FIVE

Ellen DeGeneres is funny, kind, and knows EVERY celebrity in Hollywood. Can you imagine the stories she could tell at a dinner party? I started watching Ellen while on maternity leave with Trent, and her show was a highlight of my day during the dark days of post-partum. I would love to give her a hug in person!

I think I have come up with a really awesome dinner party. Want to come?
