TIL that Dolly Parton entered in and lost a Dolly Parton lookalike contest at some drag bar in LA in 2012
“All of these other beautiful drag queens had worked for months and weeks getting their clothes and all that, and they were dressed like me,” Parton explained in a 2012 interview. “So, I just got in the line and I just walked across [the stage] and they just thought I was some little, short gay guy. And I got the least applause, but I was just dying laughing inside. I say it’s a good thing I was a girl or I’d be a drag queen.”

God bless DP
And Dolly Parton!

Not just an 80s country singer. One that was mocked mercilessly as a big tit bimbo for years. She came out of that kind hearted and when Unknown Hinson came after her for preaching kindness there was such a backlash that he couldn't play shows for a while and Adult Swim fired him from Squidbillies.

I cannot imagine how hard it is to be as kind, loving, and gracious as she is, but to be surrounded by a world with so much willful anger, hate, and misery.

It was definitely straight-washed for various audiences.

As an artist, I find this totally relatable. "Gosh, please don't erect a statue right now. A statue sounds nice, though. I am not saying not to build me a statue. Please immortalize my likeness."

Dolly Parton is 100% class. One of the good ones.
She'll let you know "it costs a lot to look this cheap."
