Broads I'd Like to Have a Drink With

Here I am at the end of a very long work week, sipping some Pinot and trying to get my life in order.  I often think about who I'd like to invite to dinner if given the opportunity, so here's who I'd love to snag a drink with if I could.  Note: I may be a little cranky like Paul Giamatti in Sideways but don't get it twisted, I'm not an alcohol expert, so don't go judging these choices too much.

Broad: Hillary Clinton
Drink of Choice: A straightforward lager.  Because Hillary don't play.
Why She Snagged an Invite: Because she's Hillary freaking Clinton.  Because she should be our next President. Because we could talk about healthcare and Benghazi and women's rights. Because our conversation would absolutely pass the Bechdel test as her marriage to Bill Clinton is the least interesting thing about her.





Broad: Dolly Parton

Drink of Choice: Mint Julep. Tiny but can pack quite a punch, just like DP.
Why She Snagged an Invite: The woman literally has an entire theme park built in her honor and is a savvy businesswoman with a helluva head of hair.  I'll buy her a drink.  And some fried chicken.  And anything else she damn well pleases.

Broad: Mindy Kaling
Drink of Choice: A nice prosecco.  Dry and effervescent, just like Mindy.
Why She Snagged an Invite: Mindy Kaling is my spirit animal; she's smart and she likes talking about girly things and neither interest takes away from the other.  Plus, she'd totally be up for extending our drink date with a visit to a cupcake place.

Broad: Emma Thompson
Drink of Choice: Irish Whiskey
Why She Snagged an Invite: The woman knows her literature.  And she calls bullshit when she sees it.  And have you seen this?  This lady is fun.










Broad: Brene Brown
Drink of Choice: Pinot Grigio.  As unpretentious as they come.
Why She Snagged an Invite: Because drinking alcohol usually means we're going to talk about feelings.  And nobody quite does feelings like vulnerability researcher Brene.









Broad: Kris Kardashian
Drink of Choice: Vodka Martini
Why She Snagged an Invite: Because by inviting KSquared to this, I could live out my fantasy of throwing a drink in someone's face and saying "how dare you."
