Good golly, Miss Dolly is coming for dinner! Texas-born Los Angeles-based fashion editor (and brand consultant, stylist, and writer) Laurel Pantin might be hiding under the table caressing a sheep, so nervous is she about meeting the legendary Parton — whom she has admired since childhood for her ability to put the Sunday sunset feeling into songs, for her carefully maintained independence, and for a sense of style that proves she has the courage to remain unashamedly herself (among other reasons) — but with our collective six children under six present, and with a spread that involves six kinds of potatoes, we are confident she will wrangle her Wranglers and get in on things. Dolly Parton, Queen of the Appalachians, author of over 3,000 songs, philanthropist, unifier of a divided America, arguable feminist by deed if not by label, and overturner of stereotypes of all kinds, we are ready for you.
