The crowning jewel in the Dining Room can be the chandelier: the queen of the room, the diva that can't go unnoticed, the feature that keeps you spellbound. So in the literal definition a diva ('di:va): is a celebrated female singer. The term is used to describe a woman of outstanding talent in the world of opera, and by extension in theatre, cinema and popular music. The meaning of diva is closely related to that of "prima donna".
Enjoy these choice divas. I don't think they will disappoint. And, of course, pick one for your very own and let me know your favorite. I love to hear your feedback.
