That woman is fantastic! I've just watched her half time show at the (American) football in Dallas on YouTube

77 in hot pants - she just looked and sounded incredible

I want to go and see her live now

So what if she's had plastic surgery?- its her money, her body, her choice. She's not forcing anyone else to have it and she makes self depreciating jokes about it which shows she's not precious or haughty about it. Lots of other artists modify their looks with tattoos, piercings etc - its completely up to them to decide how they want to look. She's very open about it which I admire- she's honest, generous, kind, and a fantastic song writer. She looks absolutely fantastic to me.

I've heard that she's said 'it costs a lot of money to look this cheap' Grin

She'd been talking about drugs before that, saying she never understood why people would spend money on mind-altering substances when she could buy several padded bras or a new wig with the same amount. Grin

I named my cat after Dolly Parton, they're both fabulous! Miss Dolly Parton Jnr 😍

The marvelling at her looks at 77 is why. All 77 year old would look like that if they could afford it.

No they wouldn't, only those who choose to have cosmetic surgery.

I could afford it now, but I don't want to. Doesn't mean I don't admire a 77 year old for getting up there and being fantastic in the way they choose.

They really wouldn't. 🤣

Blinkityblonk · 24/11/2023 09:06

She chooses to go out on stage in hot pants and big wigs despite being nearly 80, she'd be fine to be noticed! That's part of the iconic look she's created and how she's made her money and charity.

I adore Dolly. Shes the most golden person in the world.
Does anyone remember when she played Glastonbury and a dog was abandoned? She was going to fly him to her home if nobody else rehomed poor fella.

It's also telling when you hear other people talk about dolly, like Miley Cyrus said something along the lines of how dolly isn't aware how iconic she is.
Her sister adores her.

I think if I get a tattoo I'd get "in dolly we trust" around a pink cowboy boot.

I also bought my first guitar because of dolly and called it dolly. My lovely ex boyfriend who is very talented plays it to this day and when DP and I get married he's written a song for us he's going to play on that guitar🥰

I also live by a local library that benefits because of dolly and there is a big cardboard cut out of her, my fb profile (my goodness, I just do not give a flying fuck about being "outed" do I? I might as well just change my name to my phone number) is me giving dolly a big hug and kiss with my then baby DS hugging her the other side.

Going by the scorn regarding cosmetic surgery on here I doubt that "everyone" would. I've seen loads of vitriolic comments about how women should "age graciously" and stop messing with their faces etc.

Have you seen pictures of her as a teenager/young woman? She was always a goddess, even before surgery. And I agree with everyone, absolutely love Dolly. Such a pure heart ❤️.

I have, she's always been beautiful. Even with all the money in the world there's no way I could look as fabulous as she does, not now, and certainly not when i'm in my late 70s 😅

crumpet · 24/11/2023 09:14

She is very clever, and must be tough as nails to do what she has done. I think she is fabulous. There was a brilliant podcast about her which may still be up. Think it was called something like Dolly Parton’s America. Covered a lot of ground, from her early influences to her cultural impact

JamieKnows · 24/11/2023 09:43

I've been to Dolly's house, ner ner ner ner neeeerrr 💕🤣

Seiheiki · 24/11/2023 09:45

I saw her live in Birmingham about 10 years ago. She'd had all of the flowers left at the door for her taken to the local hospice for the patients that day.

She’s fabulous! I love her unapologetic ’look’ and how she describes it.

She really is smart.

I saw her on an interview clip where the interviewer was being quite snipey about her dress sense and she said ' well you know I would never stoop so low as to be fashionable ' !! I really love that

MrsJackRackam · 24/11/2023 09:58

I don't trust anyone who doesn't love Dolly. She's my barometer. It's served me well.
My theory is she takes off the wig, has no make up or nails and can mooch around without being noticed. Helped, of course, that no one knows what her husband looks like. Dolly smart yet again.

Sloth66 · 24/11/2023 10:22

Remember her performance at Glastonbury, she really engaged with that crowd. And yes, the philanthropy. She comes across as a very decent person.

I read a story once where she confirmed that's exactly what she does when she's not working. "Dolly" as we see if her stage persona then when she's off living her 'real' life she takes off the wig, tones down the clothes and make up and no one recognises her. It's genius.

igivein · 24/11/2023 10:37

My favourite Dolly quote was when the interviewer asked how long it takes to style her hair, her response "I don't know, I'm never there when they do it" 😂

murasaki · 24/11/2023 10:42

She's a philanthropist, hilarious, and extremely talented. What's not to love.

friendsfiend · 24/11/2023 10:44

She's the absolute best of us and I adore her. ❤️

@LunaTheCat

Yup. Absolutely. I don't even like country music but I love Dolly!!!!!

You really need to search for her covers of classics ... Stairway to Heaven, Every Breath You Take ....

MonaDaVinci · 24/11/2023 10:51

I love her, I've seen her in concert and she's amazing.

😊You sound fab. Wish you were my FB friend.

I think Dolly is one of the most genuine down to earth people. An earth angel 😇
