Doll-A-Day 2023 #230: Dolly Parton

   Here's a little preview of the doll show from today. It's a celebration of Dolly Parton. And why? Because it's aways a good time to celebrate Dolly Parton, because she's awesome.

As it says, she is a 12 inch posable doll.

  This Dolly Parton doll was made by Eegee/Goldberger, in 1978. It isn't nearly as pretty as the real thing.

Her outfit is pretty on point though, and typical of the kind of thing Dolly wore around that time.

She has Dolly's signature mole, but the hair isn't nearly big enough.

  In 1978 Dolly was seeing a new popularity, following her first million selling single, and her first pop chart top ten single, Here You Come Again", the previous year. She won a Grammy in 1978 for Best Female Country Vocal Performance for the album "Here You Come Again".

  There were other Dolly Parton dolls, made by Goldberger, and other companies. None of them are very good likenesses.

  That's today's doll. Tomorrow we'll look at another one.
