I like Dolly Parton. Not her country music or her flamboyant, "trail-park trash" style (that's her own term). I like her honesty and her big heart. I like it that she embraces her roots and makes no apologies for simply being who she is. I like it that she accepts other people as they are.
Dolly has just published a new memoir in which she supposedly tells an anecdote that I found very funny in the kind of ironic humor that appeals to me.
It seems that, just for a lark, she once entered a look-alike contest dressed as herself. It was primarily a contest for drag queens, with several other Dollys and a few Chers.
She lost. Admittedly, she had camped it up a bit more than usual, so perhaps she was just too over the top for the judges.
