Vidiots is easing our heartbreak over the loss of the eternal Goddess Dolly Parton with a special screening of her rootinest tootinest big screen musical extravaganza The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
Texas has a whorehouse in it! Nothing spells big summer fun like a Dolly Parton musical about sex-workers fighting against the man! Dolly and Burt – two iconic caricatures of femininity and masculinity – star as the local madam and the local sheriff – and sometime lovers. When a big TV crusader Melvin P. Thorpe threatens to expose the Chicken Ranch to public scandal and close it down, Miss Mona doesn’t go down without a fight. Give in to the mesmerizing charisma of Dolly Parton singing such bangers as A Lil’ Ole Bitty Pissant Country Place, Sneakin’ Around, Hard Candy Christmas, and I Will Always Love You – not to mention the men’s locker room dance number – you will never look back!
Dolly Parton – We Will Always Love You!
Dolly Parton was one of one – with a heart even bigger than her hair. She was one of the greatest to ever make us laugh, cry, and sing – sometimes all at once! A community leader who always put her money where her mouth was, Dolly was a constant inspiration to show up for ourselves and one another, and she brought joy that will be dearly missed by the generations of people that adore her and will forever celebrate her impact. We will always love you, Dolly!
