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
I read that, thanks to the way she has dressed all these years, dressing regularly gives her anonymity and she can go anywhere without too much trouble or attention
what’s interesting is that we’ve only ever seen her dressed up and gorgeous so we just assume that she wakes up looking like that every day. Oh but what I meant to say was her look doesn’t seem entirely over the top, she just looks like a natural beauty, but I suppose if she didn’t put any effort in at all she would be unrecognizable and that is interesting.
Boo on you. Booooooo.

Now I’m curious what she looks like with no makeup, would nobody recognize her?
And oh my gosh isn’t she like 80 years old now?

I bet her husband and Reba McEntire would be the only two people who would know.
