Never wears the same outfit more than once?
Surely just for stage, though.
I mean, she'll own a pair of jeans for everyday right?

I'm thoroughly against this "never being seen in the same outfit twice" celebrity culture. It's bad for the environment (clothing shouldn't be disposable landfill), anti-feminist (men aren't subject to the same pressure) and encourages rampant capitalism.

Her song "9-to-5" was written by a woman who never worked 9-5 in her life.
She is mostly known for her big boobs and singing style.
She's also had a lot of facial plastic surgery which isn't exactly feminist..

I love her. So very, very talented, so wise, so generous and so completely herself.

Apparently she never wears the same outfit more than once, She must have an enormous wardrobe. Shock

Yeah many layered is what she is

You all need to listen to the podcast ‘dolly Parton’s America’. It’s amazing.

Married for over fifty years! Amazing.

I've always liked her, I (unfortunately) don't know her but she seems very nice, intelligent and caring.

She's an inspiration. Her music is so enduring and her literacy programme is wonderful - plus she's fantastically witty (but rarely bitchy) and well known for supporting other women coming into the industry.

Ooooh I’m a big Dolly fan. What documentary is this?

sunsalutations · 25/12/2019 22:43

She's fabulous- I have huge admiration for her.

I remember listening to her on Womans Hour, about children's books. She is many layered.
