Yeah I Flirt, I'm Not Blind And

It Was Never A Marketing Tool. People Say That, But I Dress This Way For The Same Reasons I Did When I First Started Doing It. It Still Comes From A Serious Place Inside Of Me. I Get Up In The Morning, And I Think I Just Look Better A Certain Way I Do My Makeup. I Want To Shine, I Want To Glitter. I'm Not Getting Up Thinking, "oh, This'll Get 'em." And I'm Not Doing It To Make A Statement. I'm Just Doing It To Look Like Dolly - The Dolly That I Know And The Dolly That You Know.

Sometimes When I'm Under Pressure, If I Think Somebody Is Expecting Stuff From Me, I'll Do Better Than If I Was Just Left On My Own. I Can Sit Down - I'm A Skilled Writer, I've Been Doing It All My Life - And I Can Get Down To It.

Until I Was A Teenager, I Used Red Pokeberries For Lipstick And A Burnt Matchstick For Eyeliner. I Used Honeysuckle For Perfume.

I Think My Life Actually Changed At 40. That's When You Realize You Can't Ride The Fence Anymore. You Either Have To Get On One Side Or The Other. I Think Some Of My Best Years Were Between 40 And 50: I Got My Priorities Straight And Life Is Good To Me Now. It's Only Other People Who Say, "god, She's 50 Years Old!" As If I'm Over The Hill. I Feel Like I Just Started.

I Love To Make Things Happen, I Love To See Things Happen, I Love To Be A Part Of Things That Are Happening.
