Hard to imagine any "real man" who'd be threatened so much by Barbie that they'd need to be coerced or bribed to accompany their date to it.

Dolly Parton disagrees with you on this. "Trailer trash slut" is her signature look and she's very proud of it. She loves looking this way, she is famous not only for her magical voice, lyrics, and kindness, but absolutely also for that appearance.

Well, depends what one considers successful? High end hookers, escorts, and gold diggers also do quite well when it comes to parting men from their money. And Dolly is an uneducated, but very talented, originally extremely poor, country girl, easily influenced by her handlers. Not exactly what I’d like my daughters to aspire to.

Because Barbie uses BIRTH CONTROL

Threatened? Not a chance... Bored to tears? Most likely...

Yeah, I'd back the truck up on that one... She's quite the astute business woman... She know exactly what she's doing...

I was going to use the word "nagged". What are the demographics of the audience?

Ruh Roh, first thread I look at this morning and here we have Dolly being looked down upon. Harrumph!

I do not pay much attention to celebrities, but if Dolly is being interviewed, I make a point of trying to see/read it.

Why?

Dolly is savvy in business, highly intelligent, a philanthropist, witty, brilliant with words (with lyrics and in conversation), a gifted musician, a marketing genius, a creative genius — and all that — along with a kind and knowing heart.

America needs more like Dolly.

Nobody "handles" Dolly. She has a backbone of steel. Would I want my grandchildren to emulate her looks, no, but I would LOVE them to have her SMARTS and to be as successful as she is.

"If I hadn't been a woman, I'd have been a drag queen,"
"It costs a lot to look this cheap."
"I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb ... and I know I'm not blonde."

I'm not a C&W fan, but I love her personality, style, and her singing.
The lady is the real article.

I consider anyone who’s made a half a BILLION dollars successful. As for Dolly, don’t confuse not being educated with not being smart. Smart is not giving your song plus 1/2 the publishing right to Elvis because he’s ELVIS. You can bet her handlers weren’t happy about that. Instead she made 10 million off it with Whitney Houston. She does a lot of good for her community with that money too. She’s one of the good ones. And yet most of her wealth is from Dollywood.
