It sure wasn’t about skill, the way I sang a Dolly Parton song (badly - will I ever learn?). It was pure luck, with maybe a little instant karma thrown in for tipping well.
— Glad to announce that Trixie & Beever of bbj handmade pop accessories will be involved with Sheroes #9: Dolly Parton. Expect even MOAR Titz & Glitz, folks!
