If you’re a huge Dolly Parton fan, you probably know she often wears fingerless gloves.<\/p>\n
They tend to be flesh-coloured or sheer, and depending on the angle or situation, they blend in so well you don’t even notice.<\/p>\n
But the Internet has noticed, and they’re making a big deal out of it.<\/p>\n
Dolly doesn’t talk about them too much, which is unusual for her. She shares stories about her wigs, tattoos, and pretty much everything else.<\/p>\n
A guy who runs a Dolly fan site said she wears the gloves to cover a scar she got after corrective hand surgery in 2010. Someone else said they’re compression gloves for arthritis, while others think it’s to hide age spots.<\/p>\n
And then there’s Dolly’s creative director, Steven Summers, who says she wears them “as a matter of personal taste.”<\/p>\n
In other Dolly news, she’s teaming up with Dionne Warwick to duet on a gospel song that Dolly wrote.<\/p>\n
Dionne explained that Dolly had pitched her one song, which she loved, and then a second song, which turns out to be the duet.<\/p>\n
“It’s called ‘Peace Like a River. She wrote it. And I am very excited about this. I really am. I’ve done so many duets over the years. But this one’s gonna be very special, it is.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
There’s no word yet on when that collaboration will be available to fans.<\/p>\n
