Everything from tooth paste to Artificial Intelligence has been successfully marketed and sold using our fascination with sex. One of the smartest and most successful business women of my generation, Dolly Rebecca Parton, knows well this principle and has practiced it and still does perfectly.
Dolly grew up poor in the small East Tennessee town of Pittman Center, eight miles from Gatlinburg. When asked in an interview once about who had inspired her bleached blond, big hair, other big assets, and heavy make-up look, she told a story about the most attractive, popular, and sought out women in her little town growing up. This lady dressed for success and earned her living in the oldest profession. She knew that sex sells.
Dolly said that she had heard all the gossip about the women, but thought she was pretty and even as a girl knew that to get ahead in business she would need more than a talented singing voice – something to get and keep their attention, to keep them thinking and talking about her. Two big things in particular. Even before puberty Dolly Rebecca said she knew that if she was not naturally blessed with big breasts that as soon as she could afford them she would buy them. Her investment helped her to build a a booming entertainment business and her amusement park in Pigeon Forge near where she was born has been visited by millions of adoring fans, proving the premise that sex sells.
Your friend fellow traveler and life-long Dolly fan,
