You're right, which got me curious so I went a'lookin.
It appears like this video was from 1987, late enough into the 80s that I could see someone like Dolly, a bit of a leading fashionista of the time, having a "lesser" hair style by this point.
Their hair, while big, is not the big hairspray hair you find even barely earlier 80s. Now, obviously big hair was still a thing in the late 80s, even early 90s, but it would, especially back then, have had a lot to do with where you lived and how current or behind your areas culture was with what was going on mainstream. Remember this was WAAY before the internet and cell phones put everything everywhere nearly all at once.
So true. I'm from Oklahoma and we had bear claw hairstyles until the late 90s. We are so fashion backward, women here still wear the Miss Me-style fancy ass-pocket jeans a la '12.
Regulation of CFCs and HCFCs is some shit I can get behind. Reclaimed R-22 specifically is worth a lot of fucking money, and wouldn’t you know it, I fill tanks all the time when I do system change outs.
Hate to break it to ya but everyone did not trust the science. I remember being ridiculed at my evangelical youth group for talking about the ozone hole in the late 90's early 2000's. The seeds of today's conservative idiocy were laid long ago.
And this is a fashion advantage the women of black america have had for many decades: wigs and braid-ins. Their average hair texture is very workable and versatile, making changing styles relatively easy even if labor intensive.
They're both wigged in this clip, and Dolly usually is, but wigs aren't nearly as common today except in our black communities.
I realize now this was an almost entirely unnecessary tangent but I think the history of black haircare is fascinating. It's older than time.
Something fascinating to me today is that many black women are encouraged to "go natural", but in fact maintaining those natural curls can be way more work than just wearing a wig!
It really can take a lot of work to repair the natural curl and texture, but after that it isn't nearly so bad. Some leave-in conditioner, box braids to help hold it in overnight, and a silk or satin cap for bed. Doesn't need to be every night, either. There are protective styles that are practically maintenance free except washings.
I had a perm for the beginning of the year, 7th grade. The problem is my hair has a natural curl to it, but didn't like holding perms, so it fell out pretty quickly. But for a while there I was STYLING.
I had to be out of the house at 6 am, so I got up at 4:30 in order to wash, dry, curl, rat, and set my hair every morning. It's a good thing I wasn't really into makeup or it would have taken me even longer to get ready.
I had big hair for one semester before I burned out and opted for vintage 1930's finger waves instead.
80s hair looked bad in the 80s. In fact 80s fashion was mostly awful. I hated all that black and white shit, big hair, shoulder pads, crappy synth sounds and so on. I made the best of it wearing a t-shirt with an unbuttoned plaid shirt on top of it, skinny jeans and basketball shoes. I was so ready for 90s grunge. The 90s were a huge relief.

She did! I haven't seen the episode but I did hear her talking about it, apparently she enjoyed it but had a lot of anxiety because her costume style is so elaborate the quick changes were difficult 😅
The laugh, the dimples, her confidence, talent…
Maybe the best thing though is that she just exudes authenticity. She’s sexy, but she gives the vibe that she’s fabulous for her, not for anyone else. She knows who she is and isn’t playing a version of herself for the cameras. Self confidence without arrogance. Very few people walk that line well.
Yeah, whenever I hear that laugh, I just feel a smile creeping. There’s something so special about Dolly, let’s go with the laugh for now. She has an unmistakable laughter, one that is so pure and full of childish joy, it’s contagious. Incredibly so. Dolly is one of the things that symbolizes “Christmas” most for me. Her Christmas music is what truly gets me in the holiday spirit, and there isn’t much in this world that I find as magical as that. Just the pure joy of it.
"come* to tennessee, we're playing your song"
we used to get tennessee tourism commercials in georgia in the early 90s. that little jingle has stuck all this time.
Have you seen the episode? Because my guess is you're reacting with hindsight.
A ton of people do this. "Oh my god look at how much the anime opening spoils for anime onlies!" Said from a manga reader. I rarely if ever hear anime onlies complaining about anime openings, even though there are blatant spoilers in there, they just don't pay that much attention.
Hindsight makes it seem worse because you have a bigger perspective, and start dreaming up what "could" happen.
The Moclans: The most emotional species in the universe. Watching Gordon yell at them was the most cathartic moment in the season.
Well until...until the eyeball scene.
Met Patti once and she tried to feed me. She is just as cool and gracious as she seems. You'd think a legendary diva would have a bad attitude...not her
Everyone did. I was helping a friend on the set of a music video. They were shooting at what I believe is/was one of her homes in Atlanta. If I remember correctly, it was an OutKast video.
Ok I'll just say this outright. I don't even care about your taste in music, your taste in women, or anything of the sort. At the end of the day, it's impossible for anybody in their right mind (at least IMO) to not have a giant level of respect for both of these women, their talent, and their overall contribution to their craft.
I’ve watched this over and over. I don’t think I’ve ever been so charmed by or attracted to a woman, no exaggeration. Her smile and her laugh. Oh my god.
in case you guys missed it: Dolly recently had a small (but immensely vital) guest role on The Orville!
and it was so fuckin fantastic, i almost teared up...
one of the background story arcs from S1 and S2 became foreground in S3: the forced transsexual surgery of a daughter born into a species that purports to only breed males, the struggle of acceptance in a very dogmatic society, and the minefield of cultural relativism among the more tolerant and open societies in a galactic federation.
the first element of this story arc back in S1 (IIRC) featured Dolly Parton as a sort of side joke (being mentioned as an inspiration, Jolene being played a couple of times), and in a recent episode she made an in person appearance. Still lookin gorgeous, btw.
Wow that's a lot of hair.
Oddly enough not for the 80’s
Excited to see how long that streak lasts for the 80s because big hair hasn't made it back like that
We teased a little bit with the big hornet nest hair cuts in the two thousands.
Goth/scene had a bit of the big hair energy going at the same time, too
Hairmetal 2 electric boogaloo
The Ozone layer is still recovering. Also: These were wigs.
Without aerosol Aqua-Net? It is very unlikely.

Dolly has never had "big" hair. She has Dolly Parton hair. Everyone else had big hair, Dolly has always been consistent & unapologetic.
Dolly had other oversized assets to make up for it.
Ha, she still does!
So true. I'm from Oklahoma and we had bear claw hairstyles until the late 90s. We are so fashion backward, women here still wear the Miss Me-style fancy ass-pocket jeans a la '12.
I guess you weren’t alive in the 80’s. That’s just another day at high school.
Hair so big it caused a hole in the ozone layer.
Remember when the entire world got together to ban CFCs because everyone trusted the science and took the danger seriously.
The good ole' days...
Pepperidge Farm remembers.

All that Aqua-net. Sorry Australia
So glad straight Avril Lavigne hair was in for my years. I can’t imagine how long it takes to do 80’s hair.
A lot of women had perms so they could start the day out big and go from there

Ahhh I forgot about the Perm rage. I wanted one as a very young child in the 90’s. Thank you mom for saying “never”.

Ha I’m glad you gave it up. That stuff was not healthy for your hair
It being normal at the time doesn't magically reduce the physical amount of hair present in this video...
No one said it did?

You take that back about the Synth sounds! Right now! You are going to make Gary Numan cry!
Don't worry, Thomas Dolby is gonna blind them.
The 80s was just a bad taste party. Excess excess excess. I’d take even the brown and yellow from the 70s before the 80s.
Everything about the 70s was better than the 80s. Music, fashion, weed instead of coke.
True story: Dolly is about 5'2" and wouldn't leave her bus until she was 5'7". Between the shoes and the wigs she wore, she achieved this goal.
Higher the hair the closer to god as she'd say.
Dolly has used wigs forever
She is very open about her extensive wig collection
Someone asked Dolly Parton how long it takes to get her hair done and she said "Oh honey I don't know, I'm not there when it happens."
Things no one ever said to Jada Smith.
Yer gunna get slapped.
Cause she’s bald!
KEEP MY WIFES NAME OUT YOUR MOUTH!
You win the internet today sir
Keep these ladies away from an open flame.
That's the perfect amount of hair
Lots of talent too.
You should see the bushes.
Has Dolly ever hosted SNL? Seems like she would be a good fit for that.
She did! I haven't seen the episode but I did hear her talking about it, apparently she enjoyed it but had a lot of anxiety because her costume style is so elaborate the quick changes were difficult 😅
_"Takes a lot of time and money to look this cheap, honey!"_ - Dolly Parton.
Gotta keep all those tattoos covered up.
Yeah! Her secret tattoos are my favorite Dolly lore
I think the only thing i remember is during the monologue, they installed a camera directly above her. I have no idea why. /s
Just Dolly’s laugh puts pure joy in my heart. I love her so much. Their singing is beautiful too.
I was just about to comment on how I have always loved her laugh. Such a wonderful person.
Don't sleep on LaBelle! They are both American musical royalty, treasures of our culture and wonderful people.
It's that dang precious dimple. Even now it makes me smile when Dolly smiles.
Dolly is one of the most beautiful people ever, in my opinion.
as good as she looks physically, what makes her really beautiful is, how good of a person she is. Especially as an A-List Celebrity.
The laugh, the dimples, her confidence, talent… Maybe the best thing though is that she just exudes authenticity. She’s sexy, but she gives the vibe that she’s fabulous for her, not for anyone else. She knows who she is and isn’t playing a version of herself for the cameras. Self confidence without arrogance. Very few people walk that line well.
You and me both. That woman is everything people should aspire to be.
It’s like receiving a warm hug.
Her laugh and, in her interview on Fallon, the way she was "flirting" also seems my kind of flirting
She has one of the most infectious smiles I've ever seen
Yeah, whenever I hear that laugh, I just feel a smile creeping. There’s something so special about Dolly, let’s go with the laugh for now. She has an unmistakable laughter, one that is so pure and full of childish joy, it’s contagious. Incredibly so. Dolly is one of the things that symbolizes “Christmas” most for me.

Absolutely gorgeous ladies
They're both just so _fabulous_. Everything from the sparkle to their mile high hair, true divas!
I could watch the moment Patti goes from singing with Dolly to singing the harmony over and over and over. It’s so satisfying.
I friggin love these ladies. Patti's songs in Beverly Hills Cop are the best.
Which songs?!?
New Attitude and Stir It Up.
[удалено]
The songs in Beverly Hills Cop
Well, I can't say I didn't get an answer...
The higher the hair, the closer to God.
Y’all should come to east TN, Dolly is like second Jesus out here
"come* to tennessee, we're playing your song" we used to get tennessee tourism commercials in georgia in the early 90s. that little jingle has stuck all this time.
Wasn’t it Come to Tennessee. We’re playing your song? I, too, loved that ear worm.
yeah, it was. oops.
I'm in middle TN, and I'd take Dolly over Jesus for sure.
Don't tell the Moclans.
Topa understands
I shed several manly tears when they brought what’s-her-name to the synthesized cabin and out walks Dolly.
Shit I just got spoilered
Assuming you're joking because without context you'd have no idea when this happens or who it happens to.
Context clues aren’t very hard, especially if you remember the person who ended up loving Dolly in the second season.
Have you seen the episode? Because my guess is you're reacting with hindsight. A ton of people do this. "Oh my god look at how much the anime opening spoils for anime onlies!"

Dolly Parton is the queen we don't deserve.
If people in the South want to put up statues, it should be of her. They already doing one, despite Dolly's modest protest.
With a take a book/leave a book built into the pedestal?
Thats a fantastic idea
She already has one at the Sevier County Courthouse, it debuted in 1987.
[удалено]
> despite Dolly's modest protest. That's just how politeness works in the south.
This is so cool
Two musical icons
Met Patti once and she tried to feed me. She is just as cool and gracious as she seems. You'd think a legendary diva would have a bad attitude...not her
Hard to have a bad attitude when you're feeling good from your head to your shoes!
Aww I love this! Did you accept? I would kill for one of her sweet potato pies!
Everyone did. I was helping a friend on the set of a music video. They were shooting at what I believe is/was one of her homes in Atlanta. If I remember correctly, it was an OutKast video.
Dolly is so fucking cute.

Have you seen anyone not have respect for either? I've only ever seen high praise for both of them.
When you ain’t got a washboard
Dolly said she would do this when she didn’t have an instrument but inspiration for a song hit, 9 to 5 being one.
Her giggle has always been adorable.
Is there a better person that Dolly Parton?
Fred Rogers? If Mr. Rogers and Dolly had a child would it be Jesus or Buddha?
Jebuddha? Bujesus?
Budje has a nice ring to it. Budje Rogers: The Christ of Our Times, Savior of Neighborhoods and Harmonized Vocalizations
Wouldn’t matter. That child would be loved and supported to be whatever they wanted to be.
Beetlejuice?
Beetlejuice...
Beetlejuice!
Oh God..
Jolene? Heard she’s pretty hot. :) And no. I think there are some that are at her level, but not better.
Fred Rogers, Bob Ross, Dolly Parton, Steve Irwin, all the harbingers of wholesomeness
Keanu Reeves, Steve Buscemi
Lynda Carter maybe. Or at least she’s a fellow queen.
I genuinely don’t think there is
Tom Hanks?
No, he is often an asshole abroad.
Damn I hadn't heard about that? Do you have any examples? I've been trying to read more about that, but my Googles are coming up dry
The only thing I see is qanon nonsense about vampirism or something…
Yeah, I saw something about people thinking he was a pedophile because he became a citizen of Greece
Good lord Dolly was a smoke show then.
I’ve watched this over and over. I don’t think I’ve ever been so charmed by or attracted to a woman, no exaggeration. Her smile and her laugh. Oh my god.
When patti starts singing and dolly instantly harmonized perfectly with her!! Omg it’s too much man. I want 5 min of this pls
I love both of them so much thank you for sharing this iconic performance
Dolly is a five alarm fire of charisma.
in case you guys missed it: Dolly recently had a small (but immensely vital) guest role on The Orville! and it was so fuckin fantastic, i almost teared up... one of the background story arcs from S1 and S2 became foreground in S3: the forced transsexual surgery of a daughter born into a species that purports to only breed males, the struggle of acceptance in a very dogmatic society, and the minefield of cultural relativism among the more tolerant and open societies in a galactic federation. the first element of this story arc back in S1 (IIRC) featured Dolly Parton as a sort of side joke (being mentioned as an inspiration, Jolene being played a couple of times), and in a recent episode she made an in person appearance. Still lookin gorgeous, btw.
Patti's voice is so beautiful!
Absolute gems these two.
Dolly has to be one of the most likable people ever to exist.
The combined damage to their nails cost over a million dollars in repair costs.
Dolly Parton is a national treasure. Beautiful soul of a person. Inside and out.
And I finally get the "Dolly" thing...
LOVE ❤️
Legends.
Brought a smile to my face.
Dolly has the sweetest laugh.
Young Dolly Parton was a babe
Man. I would just stand there all night if someone asked me to choose. And I'm usually a pretty good chooser.
God I love this video.
Seen this clip so many times, it always makes me smile ear to ear. Love them both.
Love everything about this clip, especially their dresses. They are outer space.
Mmmm Paté La Belle.
Beyonce could never.
God Dolly Parton was gorgeous. I had no idea
I would vote for Dolly or Patti for president.
Dolly has the Best laugh in the world, I think! It’s so adorable!
The Queen of the wide-mouth-every-single-tooth-smile: DOLLY.
There is a lot of hair, breast, and talent in that video.
Both of them gorgeous
Talk about the complete package. Beautiful, intelligent, compassionate, and crazy creative. So fucking sexy.
I love them. They are both wonderful, but neither of them lived a life of fabulous wealth and privilege at the expense of their subjects.
..a good time for hair spray stock investments.
What song is that ?
This made me smile while having a really bad week so thank you
❤️❤️❤️
Dolly Parton is one of the reason I’m proud to say I grew up in Tennessee.
Twins
I play my acrylics all the time. It’s one of my favorite fidgety habits lol
Both were/are talented, beautiful and had big hair😄
Holy shit she isn’t plastic
Her laugh makes me feel happy
Gosh I love that laugh
Legendary
Awee dolly is so beautiful
u/savevideo u/savevideobot
I looooove!!!
Damn. Dolly sure used to be smoking hot. She still is, but she used to too.
oh wow i think Im in love
How great! How can you see this and not feel better than you did a second ago?!?!
Love their hair!! 💖
Dolly has the cutest laugh of all time.
This is the most delightful, sweet thing I’ve seen in awhile.
Big hair 🥰
My entire decision making process is based on “what would dolly do?”. She is the queen
I love that video!
What are they doing with their nails?
Rubbing one set against the other rhythmically while singing to create music
Oh cool!
I guess I needed to have the sound on haha. That’s awesome!! I love them
Dolly Parton is the Queen we have, not the one we deserve. Absolutely wonderful human being.
So many comments but hardly any for Patti…
Everyone's racist when they don't deize black people
Love this 🥹
