Darling Dolly

Last night I was at Costco and came across the collector's edition Dolly. Inside were three of Dolly's cd's which includes her all time best songs; Jolene, 9 to 5 and I Will Always Love You. When I was little I saw Dolly on T.V. and liked her because she always seemed so happy. But I soon figured out that the name Dolly is synonymous with big boobs. I mean what hand motions would you use to charade Dolly? I wrote Dolly off as a crazy celebrity with nothing to offer. A few years ago Kath gave me a Christmas mix which included a Dolly song, and the ache in Dolly's voice and lyrics surprised me. Fast forward a couple years to an art journaling night with Chantel: we listened to a dolly album a couple times that night. I fell in love. Dolly's smile and laugh doesn't match the bitter desire in her music. I was in music heaven today on my way back and forth from school. Check Dolly out and be ready to fall head over heels.

Love it. I feel the exact same way about Dolly. I need to invest in more of her music. She is seriously a crack up. I love that I get to see more of you than just your awesome swimmingness on your blog! So fun!
