Just wondering if Country’s oldest blonde has any children?
If so, I’ll bet they didn’t starve to death. Those moo missiles can feed a whole Army division.
The only thing that could be fed by what’s inside those particular “moon missles” is a bathroom caulking gun.
Oddly, I do not know. Dolly has been married to Carl Dean for forty years now. The real question is if she is a grandmother.
Dolly has always kept her private life private. I find that nice. Or perhaps she has crazed stalker fans. I find that creepy.
Perhaps you could ask over at http://www.dollymania.net/ or some other unofficial web site.
(Then let me know.)
Probably didn’t get much sun growing up either, living in the shadows of their mother.
Well, in a word, no.
While DP had implants in about 2002, here breasts were a well-know trademark well before then. She claims to have lost weight, and ‘in all the wrong places’ and my Honey used to say. She had implants fairly recently, at about age 55, to restore what she once had.
(After all her career started in about 1959 and her appearance has been as constant as you might expect over that time. When the heck were breast implants invented anyway? So during her mothering years she was not enhanced.)
According to IMDB:
So there you go.
Her kids were the ones with the streach marks around their mouth.
“She was unable to have children of her own because of an allergic reaction she experienced to birth control pills when she was younger”
Could a doctor kindly weigh in on this statement. Has there ever been such a thing as allergen caused sterility?
That does sound like quite the odd statement. Birth control pills are just hormone supplements that supplements what a woman already has to interrupt the cycle. I have never heard of a risk of someone being allergic to them.
I don’t want to go all “waaaa! I’m insulted by your insensitive remark” ('cause I know it was a joke, and it was funny)…but since we’re here to fight ignorance and all…
Breast size has no correlation with milk production.
In fact, I’m not even as big as Dolly, but I am big enough that I *couldn’t *breastfeed either of my babies - my nipples are too big for them to get a good latch on. They’re not monster nipples or anything, but they are porportional to very large (natural) breasts. Even repeated attempts with a certified lactation consultant couldn’t get it working. (Well, not entirely true. We thought we had my daughter nursing for a month, but she lost 2 ounces - because the nipple was filling so much of her mouth, she was actually pinching off the milk supply, not drinking it.)
It was tres annoying to have these huge honkers and hear people say things like “Bet that kid’s never going hungry!” and then come home and pump milk with a machine and give it to her in a bottle - and have an abnormally low milk supply to boot.

As for the birth control question, people can have odd reactions to anything. The second you say a reaction is “impossible”, your next patient will walk in the door with it. Now, it probably wasn’t an “allergy”, strictly speaking (since those are respiratory events.) But we must remember that Ms. Parton is nothing if not a lady, and probably wanted to phrase her “female condition” in the most delicate way possible. It’s entirely possible she suffered cancer, blood clots or endometrial problems which damaged her ovaries or uterus. These are listed as (rare) side effects of the pill.
I’m going to have cards printed up claiming to be a Certified Lactation Specialist. I had no idea there were such people. What kind of test you have to take for that?
No test, just lots and lots of practice.
Sorry, it ain’t about looking at boobies, guys. They take their education seriously. They work in hospitals and with doctors.

Oops, I didn’t realize there’s boobies on that website. Working breasts, to be sure, but maybe NSFW. I’ll alert a mod and have that link broken.
I’m not a doctor, but I am an IMDB contributor. That’s a trivia item in her IMDB bio. Anyone with an IMDB account can update just about anything on an person or movie. The editors don’t have the ability to research every single item. Some fan probably read or heard that somewhere and posted it. There are lots of bad trivia factoids in IMDB.
Ah WhyNot that was my point exactly. With a set of hoots like Dolly’s her kids would wind up with streach marks around their mouths tryings to get latched on. Nothing in that joke was about milk production, for that you have to see
I would just like to add that I read that quote almost 12 hours ago, and I am still giggling like a little kid over the term “Moo Missiles”
I was thinking about pulling out the ol’ “dairy cannons” bit, or the good ol’ “cachungers” line, but no, I went with the new material. I’m glad you were amused.
I remember when she was on Conan a few years ago and he made a joke about her joining the army to which she replied “I tried to, but they told me I had flat feet…I’ll just have to believe the doctors cuz I can’t see them”
Obligatory…
