Dolly Parton’s 1978 Playboy Wig Ornament Raffle Ticket

Handmade by Michelle Perez

What’s queerer than Dolly Parton’s boobs? Dolly Parton’s wigs. And this particular wig from the October 1978 issue of Playboy tops them all. While some straight men may have purchased this issue for their usual jorkin’ it purposes, The InQueery has recently discovered data that the majority of sales of the Dolly Parton issue was actually to the gays. No matter if you love her because “Jolene” comes off as pretty sapphic or because she said “it’s a good thing I was born a girl, otherwise I’d be a drag queen” it’s clear that we queers will ALWAYS love her. And I-I-I-yeeee-I will alwaysssss love you.
