If we live our lives the right way, then everything we do can become a work of art.

I'm a puzzle, I must figure out where all my pieces fit
We all love Dolly, right? Her Travelin' Thru is nominated for an Academy Award and it's a free download on iTunes today. Go! She'll be singing it live on Sunday's Oscar telecast. Think she'll go understated with her gown selection? link via towleroad
I see LOTS of cowboy motifs at the Oscars this year... so maybe she'll amp up the C&W element and not go understated. Fringes. Pearl buttons. Emroidered roped steers and rearing broncos.
She doesn't even have 'understated' in her quiver, does she? Does everyone love her as much as we do? I'm not so very celebrity obsessed, but I adore her.
I just want her to have everything as BIG as possible on Oscar night.
I'm not talking about Dolly, but isn't it funny that if you even toss us a HINT of acceptance, a sidelong glance of it, we're following you around tongues out and tails wagging?
I'm a simple guy. I like y'all, but don't tell me you're a "people person", OK?
Also, if you tell me you are "straight-acting", I'll still be polite (Grandma Betsy lives on in me), but we'll be through. I read. I can love you if you don't read much, but if you read really bad shit, then I may not be able to love you. I'm liberal. Way. Who doesn't enjoy a nice trip (or a nice piece of fish)? I've traveled some, and I'll arrange my life so that I always can. Old people, babies (in their case, I think it's because my head/body ratio is similar), and your mother dig me (probably more than you do), and I'm OK with that. Know that if I am into you, I'll be amenable to just about anything. He'll be a lucky man who I aim to please. I'm aiming just thinking about you.

Just a thought.

I think we love her so partly because she's a drag queen made woman.
She hearts The Gays, and we heart her right back.
Nice theory. It's a similar combination (acceptance/drag queen) that makes us love Karen Walker, isn't it?

Still I see myself lying in your arms
When I close my eyes at night
No complex conversation
Ooh to taste the comfort of strangers
