Dollywood

With Hurricane Dolly (currently a Category 2 storm) lashing the coasts of Texas and Mexico today, I thought it would be appropriate to celebrate that other famous Dolly, herself a force to be reckoned with.

No, not that cloned sheep.

I am of course referring to the woman who, though not a Texan herself, very much fits into a certain Texan ethos.  With the big bleached hair, tasteful enhancements, and a striking penchant for any reflective surface she can affix to her person, I would say that Dolly Parton is an honorary Texan.  How can one not be transfixed by the power possessed by that pint-sized package?  This contributor, for certain, is particularly partial to the Appalachian princess.
