Just like Roxy Versace said, “...Dolly is a spirit animal.” As a Writer at BuzzFeed, I write and curate quizzes, listicles, and articles about everything from pop culture and history to food and fashion. "She has proved that you can have enough and can still give enough because, you know, it's important to think about other people and do more." When I asked them about how they channelled Dolly Parton through their looks, Lush Monsoon said, "We're just hoping that Dolly imparts herself in all of us tonight and we're able to give some of it. And I think all drag queens do carry some of Dolly's essence." Betta added, "It's about being in your superhero costume and your avatar, which gives you the power, the wing, and everything. I heard that her driver for the longest time was a trans man. So even when nobody was talking about queer rights, she was a pioneer in that sense. For us, we didn't grow up with Dolly, but it's something we've revisited. And it's amazing."
