5 people I would invite to dinner {living edition}

February 29, 2012

HEY guys! Let’s play a game, okay?

I think Wednesday the week back from a blissful vacation is a good a day as any to play a game, right?

So here we go…

If you could invite 5 living people to dinner WHO would you INVITE?

Here’s my guest list:

Ellen Degeneres.

BEST ever.

Heart of gold.

Makes me laugh. Makes me happy cry. Makes me wanna dance.

– – – – – – – – – – –

Michelle Obama

Helping kids, helping people.

A great role model and a phenomenal style icon.

– – – – – – – – – – –

Taylor Swift.

So super fun loving.

She would strum us songs on her guitar.

And be just so darn thankful for our friendship.

– – – – – – – – – – –

Sophia Grace and Rosie

Have you seen their latest excursion?

HILAR.

(Rosie doesn’t count as a number because she doesn’t say much.)

– – – – – – – – – – –

Betty White

The last living Golden Girl!

Obviously my dinner party would be a girl’s night out. But those are the best kind anyways.

What about you? Who’s on your guest list?

(FYI there will be other editions of this dinner post no doubt: the RIP version and my fantasy favorites. GET ready for it.)

Here it is. My very first video blog.

I’ve been debating it for awhile. And finally decided to just go for it.

The beginning is MAJORLY awkward, but it gets better (I think).

Hope you like it!

Show notes:

Here’s my top favorites all written out, with extra commentary for good measure.

Top 5 Actresses

Claire Daines– besides everything I said, I just remembered one of my ultimate movies with her. Little Women! DREAM! How good was she in that movie?! My heart aches for her every time I watch and once again the tears are flowing like water. Claire Daines is the BEST.

Hillary Swank– P.S I Love You, Million Dollar Baby, The Next Karate Kid! Awesome actress. And I’m so excited for New Years Eve to come out. SO excited.

Julia Roberts– she’s just so darn good at making me love her. Pretty Woman and My Best Friend’s Wedding are among my most favorite. But I’ll be hard pressed to find a movie I don’t like that she’s been in.

Rachel McAdams– yeah, all I have to say is The Notebook and my head and heart go all dizzy on me.

Dakota Fanning– I Am Sam… broke my heart and I have never been the same. Cutest little thing ever and now she is so beautiful. I look forward to seeing in her in more films in the future cause dang, that girl can act.

Top 6 Actors

Matt Damon– The Departed?! TOO good for words.

Tom Hanks– this guy is just the best. Sleepless in Seatle, You’ve Got Mail, Forest Gump, the list goes on and on…

Denzel Washington– it WAS Man on Fire that I was remembering. I went and looked it up. Now THAT was a darn good movie. SO good!

Leonardo DiCaprio– #1. Foreva and EVA.

Eric Dane– Steamy hot McSteamy. MMMmmm!

Robert Pattinson– yeah, so he just really did it for me in Water for Elephants. He did and I’m good with that.

Top 2 (3) TV peeps

Ellen Degeneres– Fave. Hil-ar-ious. It’s on my bucket list to visit her show one day. And dance down front in front of everyone and get shown on one of the outtakes clips. How awesome would that be? So awesome.

Ann Curry– my little j.crew-loving newscaster friend. Love this lady.

Brian Williams– Heyyyooo. This one goes out to you, LJ.

Top 6 TV Shows

Grey’s Anatomy– Addicted. Best show ever. That is all.

Party of Five– the memories! LOVE!

LOST– a couple of years later, and I still haven’t figured it out. That show was good, though. Real good.

Felicity– you can see my post about my love for this show here.

24– Jack Bauer. Need I say more?

Dawson’s Creek– Pacey + Joey = True Love.

Top 5 Musicians

Dave Matthews– yes, it’s true about all those concerts. Used to be quite the fanatic. But he’s just SO good, right?

Joshua Radin– this one gets my heart pit-pattering. Those words. That voice.

Ingrid Michaelson– she’s just cool. And she’s got the words to touch my heart, too.

James Taylor– just comforting. Like an old friend.

Crystal Gayle– here’s the link to the song I was talking about: Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue. This was my most favorite song EVER when I was 10 years old. For reals.

Top 5 Movies

A Little Princess– hope you all enjoyed that little singing segment I busted out. Girl just couldn’t help herself.

This is the version I am referring to. And Liesel Matthews plays Sara Crew. SO good.

“I am a princess. All girls are. Even if they live in tiny old attics. Even if they dress in rags. Even if they aren’t pretty, or smart, or young. They’re still princesses. All of us.”

My Girl– “Don’t pee on the hydrant!”

It’s a Wonderful Life– “Look, Daddy. Teacher says, every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings.”

Father of the Bride– THAT house. For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to live in that house. And Frank Egglehoffer? That guys kills me. “Armani don’t also make “polyaster.” HA!

Harry Potter– love the books, love the movies. Love everything, everything about it all.

(And if I could just add a number 6 here, it would be Little Women. Because that movie is too good not to add. And I’m pinching myself for not adding it originally. The March sisters ROCK.)

Welp, there ya have it. A 16-minute look at little ol’ me.

Happy Monday, all!

(**Want more vlogging goodness? Here’s my dear blog friend Claire’s vlog which I mentioned and watched so many months ago. It makes me miss her! Aaaaand if that’s not enough, one of my newer friends in this internet world, Jodi, did her very first vlog just a few short weeks ago. I love being able to know how bloggers sound in real life. You read their words every day and see into their thoughts, but sometimes it’s just nice to put a voice with those words. Glad to be jumping on the bandwagon!)

fabulous.

“Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that’s just fabulous.”

-Carrie Bradshaw, Goddess.

I’ve been watching a lot of Sex and the City lately. I could watch it for hours and days and years. I love it so much I thought it deserved a blog post, so here it is. Thank you, lovely ladies of SATC. You will always and forever be my favorite.

One of my favorite parts about Pinterest is the amazing photography I have found of famous people. I love famous people. They’re beautiful, they’re rich, always stylish, often crazy, and I am fascinated by them.

Here are some of my very favorites:
