Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton once entered a celebrity look-alike contest as herself – and lost. The contest was held in a San Francisco club. In order to somewhat disguise herself, Parton exaggerated her features with makeup. However, she got the least applause of all contestants, and ultimately lost to a drag queen. Source: Facts.net

That is HILARIOUS. And we LOVE Dolly so much. When asked on a show once what is good taste, she replied, “Sequins is good taste, everyone knows that!”Amd mama LOVES sequins, haha. Love your blog…love your wit and humor.
I thought this was a hoot that she could lose. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
That’s a hilarious story about Dolly……!!! Happy Wednesday.
Hugs, Pam and Teddy
I thought it was hilarious too. Happy Wednesday. A hug to you and lots of scritches to Teddy. 🙂
I’m sure that was hilarious for her. I was sorry to hear about her husband.
Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday!
Me too. It was a funny fact though. You have a fabulous Wednesday and rest of the week, my friend. 🙂
this is hilarious and shows people see what the want to see..
Yes they see what they want to see. I wonder what she looked like. Scritches to Beau. 🙂
Dolly Parton is beautiful inside and out. No way she should have lost.
I agree with you, Duke. 🙂
MOL…I wonder what they thought when they found out that it was Thé Dolly😹Double Pawkisses for a Happy Day and Week ahead to you, Sandee, Zane and the kitties too🐾😽💞
I have no idea. I’ll bet it made them laugh though. Double Pawkisses to you both and a big hug to Granny. 🙂
I love Dolly Parton, and I think I have read about this incident. I’m sure she was quite amused. What an amazing life story she has had. Alana ramblinwitham
I think everyone was very amused. I agree with her life story. Happy WW and rest of the week. 🙂
LOL, that is funny. What a fun test to see what would happen.
I agree with you. It made me laugh out loud. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
Dolly Parton is a beautiful soul. I was saddened to hear about her husband. Happy Wednesday. Hugs.
She is a beautiful soul and it’s sad about her husband. Happy Wednesday, Eugenia. Hugs. 🙂
🥰
I hear this happens to a lot of celebrities. I wonder why.
I don’t know the answer to that. Perception is a weird thing. 🙂
Indeed
We love Dolly, and that is a really funny story. We were so sad to hear her husband passed away.
We love Dolly too. We are sad about the loss of her husband too. Happy Wednesday, my friend. 🙂
Oh my gosh, that is so funny. I bet she found it pretty funny too. She is such a beautiful and talented lady. It was sad to hear about her husband passing away recently.
She is a wonderful person and we’re sad she lost her husband too. Happy day and rest of the week, my friend. Scritches to Gibbs. 🙂
I’m glad you post about her. I discovered things I did not know!
Like this one: ‘You can never get enough books into the hands
of enough children!’
Happy WW, dear Sandee! Hugs and a fabulous week ahead❤️😘!
Well said, Suzana. Happy WW and rest of the week, my friend. Hugs. 🙂
That is a funny story. I like her new song about her beloved husband who passed away recently. Thanks for hosting. Have a great day! XO
Yes indeed, Ellen. You have a great day too, Ellen. A hug to you and scritches to the kitties. 🙂
Dolly Parton was one of the best things about the film “9 to 5”.
I loved that movie too. She’s so talented. 🙂
That’s a funny story. We will check out the new song.
It’s a funny story indeed. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
Goodness! But there is only ONE real Dolly!
You’re right about that. Happy WW and rest of the week, my friend. 🙂
I guess she just doesn’t look enough like herself.
She did such a great job making herself look different she lost. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
That is so funny!

I laughed out loud too, Jackie. Love and hugs, my friend. 🙂
I recently read an interview she gave about Dolly’s husband Carl Dean being absent from her career. She said they shared so many things in their 60 marriage one being a quirky sense of humor. I know Dolly probably thoroughly got a charge out of not winning her own look a like contest.
Sandee thank you for this story. Dolly is Queen of all she does
Hugs Cecilia
She is indeed the Queen of all she does. Happy WW and rest of the week. Love and hugs, my friend. 🙂
I remember when she did that,one of my local (Over the Air) TV channels had a field day with that one. and I think I did a post on facebook about it.
I didn’t know she did this, but it made me laugh out loud. Happy WW and rest of the week, Mike. Scritches to Screwball. 🙂
Dolly is still the reigning queen of country music. I think her album “Trio”, a collaboration with Linda Ronstadt and Emmy Lou Harris is still some of her best work. Just entering that contest tells you something about her sense of humor.
I agree with you, my friend. She is such a huge talent. 🙂
I love Dolly Parton. What happened at that contest is befuddling…
I love Dolly Parton too. It made me scratch my head when I found this fact. Happy WW and rest of the week. Scritches to the pups. 🙂
Dolly Parton is such a national treasure! And I do know that story about her, such a good sport, and a supportive ally now when both drag queens and transgender people are under such attack from our leaders.
She is a most talented woman. Happy WW and rest of the week. 🙂
That is quite the funny and interesting story! Mom always enjoyed Dolly’s performances.
Woos – Misty and Timber
I love all things Dolly. She’s a jewel. 🙂
Dolly always a good sport and favorite.

How interesting, bless her heart for entering the contest in the first place ~I like Dolly Parton’s singing and her wonderful personality and presence whenever she has speaking engagements or interviews. She has so many great songs, hard for me to choose my all time favorite. Thanks for this excellent trivia.
She’s a wonderful person. I love her. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week, Suzette. 🙂

Heeheehee! Sometimes life really throws you a curve ball. I pray you and Mr. Zane have a great wee and, scritches to the kitties.
It sure does. You and Mr. Sweetie have a blessed rest of the week. Love and hugs, my friend. ❤️
That’s hilarious! Imagine losing a look-alike contest as yourself—only Dolly Parton could pull that off! Just goes to show how iconic she is, even impersonators can out-Dolly Dolly! 😂
She did alter her looks, so that’s why she lost. A fun fact. Happy rest of the week, Veronica. 🙂
Oh wow, I think Dolly Parton got the surprise of her life!
I was surprised about this too. She altered her looks way too much. Happy rest of the week. 🙂
