I love that heidi klum, international super model and tv personality, was like “I’m going to be a worm for halloween” and went for the most horrifying hyper realistic version possible and was quoted saying (in said worm outfit) ‘I want to put a smile on peoples faces’. ma’am I am gagging but I love that for u

A monstrous turtle emerges from the muck.

It’s gigantic.

Look closely - a typically-sized Midwestern turtle sits next to its foot.

It must be close to its size-limit, with a possible 30-inch diameter shell and weighing well in excess of 100 pounds. It’s possible that this beast is 40+ years old.

In 2 minutes flat lmao

Fun fact: Dolly Parton is not blonde. All her blonde dos are wigs. When she goes out with her husband, because he doesn’t want to be in the public eye, she has her real hair and wears more typical middle aged southern lady outfits and people just…. Don’t recognise her. She just Clark Kents her way into maintaining a private life.

She’s the real life Hannah Montana

Wasn’t she Hannah Montana’s aunt 😭?

I have to add some details because their story is pretty cute

At 18 Dolly moved to Nashville. The very first day she was there she met a guy outside the Wishy Washy Laundromat. Her husband, Carl Dean, has said “My first thought was I’m gonna marry that girl. My second thought was, ‘Lord she’s good lookin.’" 

After 2 years of dating they wanted to get married but her record label said no because women are more profitable if they’re single. They eloped at a little church before the label could stop them and put off their honeymoon so Dolly could focus on work

In 1966 Carl accompanied her to a dinner/awards ceremony, it was his first time going to an industry event. After the dinner he said to his wife “Dolly, I want you to have everything you want, and I’m happy for you, but don’t you ever ask me to go to another one of them dang things again!’” And she never did

He lives a quiet life in Nashville and runs an asphalt business

For their 50th anniversary they renewed their vows at their home in front of family and friends, it was the wedding they’d wanted but couldn’t have when they first got married

GOALS

Bless Dolly.
