The other day on Oprah

Dolly Parton talked about the time,

one Halloween,

when she found herself between gigs

in a town with a large gay community.

Dolly thought that it would be a

wonderful opportunity

to go out anonymously

and just have her some fun.

As expected, she got lost in a sea of

Cher and Dolly impersonators;

and though she had put on even MORE makeup

than usual

(remember, we're talking about Dolly Parton here)

no one looked at her twice amidst the tall drag queens

flouncing about everywhere.

She even entered a "Dolly Parton Look Alike Contest"

and to hear her tell it,

everybody overlooked the runt!

That's right:

Dolly Parton LOST

a Dolly Parton Look-alike contest.

So remember,

people seldom realize what is right before their eyes.

They are too self-preoccupied to recognize

the Star in You.

But that's OK,

we both know

that you are the

real

Dolly!

Warmly, cloudia
