International treasure*
- Interstellar treasure
- Approved
- Dunno. It doesn’t really translate as well to Lemmy -it has gaps between the images, . . . Hmmm. I wonder if i can get rid of those.
  Edit: yep!
I... 100% thought she was a drag queen until the last slide lol
- Well, that's because she's so iconic that many drag performers use a similar look
  
  That totally explains it actually, neat.
  (Just to be clear because I got a bunch of replies, my original comment wasn't negative at all)
- That's a brave admission.
- Uncultured buffoon
- Boo on you. Booooooo.
  
  I think there's some 'truth' to it in some ways. Dolly acknowledges that she plays a lot with femininity and feminine expectations, and that 'look' she has is a costume in many ways. She doesn't dress like that when she's out incognito.
  In the same way drag is a costumed examination of what makes someone look 'like a woman', subverting in some ways and embracing in others
Like for real, if people with wealth were half as kind as her there would be a lot less suffering in this world.
I love that she says: It takes a lot of money to look this cheap!
At the very least
"Honey, I would never stoop so low as to be fasionable" Dolly to Barbara Walter's in interview
