The always well made-up singer/songwriter is hoping to share her cosmetics tips with fans, accepting she's as well known for her look as her songs.

She tells Billboard magazine, "When I first came (to Nashville, Tennessee) I really was the backwoods Barbie - too much makeup, too much hair, the big boobs, country girl straight out of the mountains."
And that's not all Parton has planned; she's also penning the score for the upcoming Broadway musical version of 9 to 5 and she's working on an autobiographical musical and a weekly kids' TV show.
