Who said the higher the hair the closer to god

In 9 to 5 , Parton is not only the most physically feminine-presenting character, she is also the most traditionally womanly, playing the same charming, generous, witty Southern Belle as she does in her everyday life.

And in one of the best on-screen examples of pink-collar validation, her character, a personal assistant and secretary, demonstrates the value of emotional labour. Regardless, a slew of recent reviews Rolling Stone [], Filmnerds [], Punchnerds [] and others indicate that the film is attracting a new generation of viewers. If Jake wins, Freddie will cancel her contract. Ten years earlier, she had ended her seven-year business partnership with Porter Wagoner, an association that kick-started her career.

By Dolly had wanted to strike out on her own. Porter agreed — on the proviso that he got to produce the song, which went on to become one of the most successful in pop music history. The film problematises any simplistic reading of the moral or ethical dimensions of a woman using sex as a bargaining chip.

Jake is operating in a world that not only expects, but requires, her to use her body as a commodity, whether as an object to be looked at onstage, clad in a tight, sparkly dress, or as part of a financial bargain. Dolly, like Jake, is a pragmatist. Throughout the film Jake remains in control over her own body and decisions, adhering to her own principles and morality. And while Stallone has publicly regretted his involvement in the film, Dolly has maintained that she is proud of what they made, and that some of the songs on the soundtrack are her best.

To denigrate a film that so many people worked on would be unkind. At the end of Rhinestone, it is kindness that causes Jake to call the bet off, despite the risks to herself and her career. Only in fantasy do they enact bloody revenge. There are many warnings about vanity, pride, and over-adorning, but hair is a clear symbol in the Bible. A friend who really struggled through today texted me a SOS.

We will not be outdone by Elton John and Ru Paul! During a deployment, a dear friend identified my need to go to the ER by the simple fact that I came to church without curled hair or heels. She charged me in her typical Patton-esque fashion. As women especially Southern women we know that if a friend is in the hospital for an extended length, you care for the deep needs. You bring a meal, watch the kids, and visit.

These are deep needs. Today my friends and the Holy Spirit teamed up to perform triage. Rather than wallow in self-pity, frustration, or anger, I battled through and emerged uplifted with a correct focus.

It shows in the perks of my roots. God is interested in impacting all of me- getting into my heart, my head, my life, and even my hair. Scripture declares that he knows how many hairs I have on my head, after all. Excuse me but my roots are showing!! I better make an appointment ASAP!!! Love it Kaitlin!!! Go hair!!!
