Aren't her breasts the national treasures?

Get well Dolly! Back pain is no joke. My girls are big, but hers are ginormous and she's like 2 feet tall.

@NoWireHangers:
Sorry, honey--Dolly's dolls are all her. She was sporting humongus hooters long before breast englargement surgery.

I enjoy Dolly, but when you widdle/inflate your body to her proportions there are bound to be some casualties. It's like forcing a soda straw to hold up a grapefruit. Somethings gotta give.

Her mistake was choosing the solid gold over the silicone.

I notice the next-article link on Reuters is to "Lenny Kravitz hospitalized in Miami, blames Dolly Parton's breasts."

So do I burn a candle or my bra in support?

@LBJeffries:
hmmm. That's not what I heard from this guy I knew who screwed her for a couple of weekends during the 1980s said.

Cacafuego

@heidiho: It's true, I almost ran into her (literally, coming around a blind corner) when I worked at Bullocks-Wilshire back in the 80's. She's a wee thing . . . 'cept for the Winnebagos.

They're probably hitting her knees.

Breasts blame Al Quaeda.

For blowing up their infrastructure.

@Cacafuego: They're fake. They might have been real back when, but sometime after the bone shaving and organ-reduction she brought in these ringers. Her ratio went from buxom to impossible.

@Cacafuego: In the mid-Sixties doctors began injecting silicone directly into breasts to enlarge them. Somewhere around here I've got a secondhand Tom Wolfe book with a story about it. And yes, all those women are dead or crippled now.

Ms. Parton is not alone in that large breasts sometimes slow her career. I suspect that, at any given instant, at least 30% of Americans theoretically "working from home" are actually "fapping with porn."

She calls them her "showdogs".

"I'm sitting in the Dolly Parton tour bus trying not to stare at her breasts. Because everyone (Dolly included) seems in thrall to what she calls 'my show dogs'. Since the age of 22, Parton has had implants to increase her embonpoint to a rumoured 40DD, reportedly insured for $600,000."

I don't doubt she's had a couple of boob lifts and what would amount to surgical foundation work, in masonry terms--boobs that huge require a good deal of buttressing. Also, they're her trademark, now. You can't let your trademarks hang down to your knees. Here's photo of her from the late 1960s (?) that gives an idea of just how well she was filling out her sweaters back then.

The craze for freakishly large hooters is a relatively recent fad, and ones that big you normally see on strippers and porn stars. Interestingly, whoever was dressing her back then was clearly trying to downplay her cans, as monstrous melonds were not considered "lady like"--which tends to make me believe she started off with giant tatas.

Cacafuego

Wow - I'm not that far off - sporting home grown 36DDs...

I believe Dolly & I are almost bosom buddies... so to speak...

@Miss d: Whee, we're twins! I honestly thought hers would be at least an F cup. Do ours really look that big?

heidiho

I blame Dolly's breasts for making Mark leave us.

40DD doesnt make sense ... that would mean that she is really fat, the 40 is the band size, and as i see it DP is NOT that fat, as a matter of fact i would say shes a 34 AT MOST

@Cacafuego: Your avatar is your real photo, isn't it?

@heidiho: *g*

I think hers look ginnormous 'cause she is so tiny…
