>> My favorite thing about the
00:01
book, Dolly, is you've known
00:03
exactly who you are from since
00:04
you were little.
00:05
How would you describe your
00:06
signature style?
00:07
>> Oh, gaudy, I guess.
00:09
And now it's fashionable gaud,
00:11
you know, or a little more
00:13
defined gaud, but gaud just the
00:15
same.
00:16
I just like a lot.
00:17
When they came out with that
00:19
saying, "Less is more," I
00:21
thought, "Oh, that does not
00:22
apply to me."
00:23
Well, we said, "I look totally
00:25
artificial, but I'd like to
00:26
believe that I'm totally real
00:28
for it counts."
00:30
>> And Dolly's taken readers
00:31
behind the scenes in her new
00:33
book that spotlights her most
00:34
unforgettable looks from the
00:36
1960s until now, as well as the
00:38
woman who had the earliest
00:39
influence on her sense of style.
00:41
>> I was always into the makeup
00:43
and the clothes 'cause I was
00:45
impressed, as I've often said,
00:47
about the lady that was
00:48
considered the town tramp in our
00:50
hometown, but I thought she was
00:52
beautiful because she wore red
00:54
nails, red lipstick, she had
00:56
yellow hair, short skirts, and
00:58
she'd twist down the street, and
01:00
I wanted to be just like her.
01:02
>> And Dolly opens up about her
01:04
56-year marriage to husband
01:06
Carl Dean.
01:07
You talk in the book that Carl
01:08
Dean called you the Q-tip.
01:10
He's like, "I can see the little
01:11
Q-tip coming from wherever she
01:12
looks."
01:13
>> I know, because I'm so tiny,
01:14
and then I always have that big
01:16
hair and the big blonde.
01:17
>> Does he have any other fun
01:18
nicknames for you?
01:19
>> He calls me pee-wee.
01:20
>> Pee-wee?
01:21
>> Because I'm little, yeah.
01:22
>> I love that.
01:23
>> He calls me pee-wee most of
01:24
the time.
01:25
>> I love that.
01:26
>> And then you have a book.
01:27
There are so many pictures to
01:28
pull out.
01:29
But tell me about Cher, Dolly.
01:31
>> Oh!
01:32
>> Oh!
01:33
>> Bob Mackie designed this
01:34
outfit.
01:35
I was on her show.
01:36
I just loved watching her show
01:38
and just how beautiful she was
01:40
and all that.
01:41
>> And then this one, you and
01:42
Oprah.
01:43
She was on your show.
01:44
>> She was.
01:45
>> And y'all sang.
01:46
>> She's a better host than she
01:47
is a singer.
01:48
>> [ Laughs ]
01:49
>> ♪ Let it shine, let it
01:50
shine, let it shine ♪
01:52
>> When I think about all your
01:53
successes in the book, you talk
01:54
about big hair and a Cadillac.
01:56
You made it.
01:57
What do you consider success
01:59
today?
02:00
What does success mean to you?
02:01
>> Big hair and a Cadillac.
02:02
>> ♪ Let it shine, let it shine,
02:03
let it shine ♪
