Dolly Parton will be missed ❤️🇺🇸 Otago lecturer Dr Rosemary Overell delves into how Dolly turned artifice into authorship – and why that “fake” Dolly was, in many ways, the realest one of all 🩷 Read Rosemary's feature in The Conversation below ⬇️
How the ‘backwoods Barbie’ Dolly Parton turned self-aware artifice into authentic artistry
Dolly Parton’s first hit was titled ‘Dumb Blonde’. The country music legend, who has died at 80, was anything but that.

It's in November, but still ... 'Double Time Touring, Stop The Demo, and 44 Flats United present Punks for Public Housing, a fundraiser for the residents of Naarm’s 44 high-rise public housing towers that the Victorian Labor Government is trying to demolish.'
New Zealanders: I have a question, in the 20th c & 21 c is it common to refer to the former #Yugoslavia as ‘Dalmatia’, or even whole countries eg Croatia as ‘Dalmatia’? I have heard it twice now and 😳 as it seems a tad … old fashioned?? Did Tito not make an impact in #Kiwi land? 1989?
