I stumbled onto a photo of Dolly Parton today and it prompted me to search for more. I love her. I think she transcends time and space. I saw her perform for the first time on my Birthday 2 years ago in Atlanta. I could have sworn she was singing only to me. She is probably the most unaffected star in the world. Always polite, always smiling. She�s a living caricature of herself, and doesn�t mind a laugh at her expense. Talent oozes out of every pore of her body. She is the most honored female country music star of all time. She has 25 gold/platinum records and has had 26 songs reach the number 1 position on the country charts. All tolled she has sold over 100 million albums worldwide. She has written thousands of songs, many of which were sung by other artists.
Sure she may look a bit on the trashy side, but that just adds to her appeal. She grew up so dirt poor that she shared shoes wore clothes her mother made ( often out of old rags). She idolized �trashy� women because they had makeup and flashy clothes, things she could not afford. So I say go ahead with her sequins, tassels and porn star lipstick. Only she can make that classy.
A tribute to the trashy fabulousness that is Dolly Parton.
