The Evolution Of Dolly Parton

Amusement Park Rides

So how many times has Parton ridden the rides in Dollywood? I would imagine after everything closes she can go around and ride any ride she wants without having to wait in line. That’s the dream, right? Not to Dolly, she has not ridden any of the rides. Why?

She gets motion sickness. She says “My daddy used to say, ‘I could never be a sailor. I could never be a miner. I could never be a pilot,’ I am the same way. I have motion sickness. I could never ride some of these rides. I used to get sick on the school bus.”

Secret Tattoos?

Stories about Dolly being covered in tattoos (in the places her clothes cover her) have swirled for years. She rarely wears low-cut blouses or sleeveless dresses. But every now and then she’ll bend over a little too far or wear a sheer outfit, and it does appear that she has some color going on there. Until now, the tat stories were just considered rumors.

But now, two celebrities have confirmed that the tattoos exist. Roseanne Barr and Jennifer Saunders, of Absolutely Fabulous fame, saw Dolly in a restaurant. After their encounter Roseanne appeared on Craig Ferguson’s talk show and revealed, “I shouldn’t even tell this. Dolly Parton is totally tattooed…She showed me.” Roseanne continued, “She’s got all these awesome tattoos all over body—no black or blue lines, all like, pastel gorgeous bows all over everything.” Supposedly the tattoos are meant to cover up scarring from her many enhancement surgeries.
