Dolly Parton

                  This week in class, our focus was on country music. I’m a huge country music fan so I was very excited to discuss this in class. Although class was cancelled on Monday, we continued to talk about Dolly Parton on Wednesday. I had heard of Dolly Parton before, but hadn’t really heard any of her music. So, in class on Wednesday we talked about her music and her looks, as well as how people perceive her based on her looks. Her music talks a lot about where she is from and her personal life. Aside from that, people often make generalizations about her based off of her looks. They often think because she has a tiny waist, big boobs, and wears a lot of makeup, that she is a sexual person. However, that is not the case.

                  Dolly Parton is her own person, like many of us, and I personally think that if she wants to wear lots of makeup, have big hair, and show off her body, she should do it. The world now a days is far too judgmental on women and how they show themselves off. If a woman shows her body off sometimes, she is said to be not classy or a ‘skank’ but when women don’t show their bodies off, people also have something to say. The point I am trying to make here is that Dolly Parton does what she wants to do because she wants to not because she wants attention. We are in 2016 and honestly, no matter what you do or look like, someone is going to judge you. I know that it’s not right, but it’s true and that’s how the world is. Dolly Parton is just another great inspiration for women and girls to always be themselves.
