I think I forgot to mention that I saw this amazing woman perform a few weeks ago. She’s still got it! At one point she brought out a piano - encrusted with gold rhinestones. ROLE MODELS.

Coat of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
My favourite Dolly song. She is so fucking beautiful in this video - and playing guitar with nails like that is a feat in itself!
She just sings so beautifully, so effortlessly. So inspiring.
"Lots of drag queens dress up on Halloween like Dolly, and that was back when everybody was dressing like Cher or like me. So I thought how fun would this be? I just kind of over-exaggerated everything I am—bigger hair, bigger beauty mark, bigger boobs, if you can imagine. Here all these big drag queens are at least 6 feet tall with their high heels. I was kind of lost in the shuffle. They didn’t take me serious at all. I did it just for fun. It was just fun to tell the story."
� Dolly Parton, recalling entering a Dolly Parton look-alike contest where she came in 2nd place
I just love her so, so much. One day I will be going to Dollywood.
