I meant to post this last year, but I forgot. This is a picture that my daughter made in kindergarten. I found it in with some papers when I was cleaning her room and it just struck me right between the eyes. First, I thought it was all wrong: “What is that school teaching my daughter about Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr? I mean, she took away his whole essence, she’s stripped away his race, she’s missed the whole point …”
Next Wednesday, Jan. 19 is Dolly’s birthday deliciousness. We’ll be roller skating at World of Wheels on the actual holy day. Yip!Yip!
Adult skate from 7:30 until 10pm. $6 admission plus skate rental.
They’ll be playing her music just for us.
Come wearing the Dolly that speaks to you — whether it’s flamboyant shimmer shammer or shreads of fabric all stitched up and sung about.
Spread the world — the more the merrier.
