I stumbled across this photo from the archives, and it (of course) set the wheels of my warped imagination running...
One can but wonder what glittering occasion brought Dolly Parton and Diana Ross together for a photo opportunity without hair-pulling and scratching!
Connections between the two divas are few and far between, except:
- Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers' duet Islands In The Stream was written by the BeeGees, as was Chain Reaction by Diana Ross.
- Dolly (with Julio Iglesias) recorded a successful cover of Diana's hit When You Tell Me That You Love Me.
- Both ladies - with their torch songs, spangly frocks, big wigs and on-and-off-stage histrionics - are much-loved gay icons, and favourite targets for drag queen impressionists.
Not least this one...
The one (perverse) connection that I make between the two is courtesy of that stalwart of drag from my earliest days on the scene (still going strong today) - Miss Lizzy Drip!
Happy weekend everybody!
