Dolly Parton's Youngest Imitators?

Seen below are five disturbing and bizarre photos published in Dolly Parton's 1994 biography, "Dolly: My Life And Other Unfinished Business."  The pictures, presumably sent to Dolly Parton Enterprises by dopey parents, display young girls dressed as Dolly Parton.  If I had to guess, I'd say they're all likely between 3 and 5 years old.  As you can see, they're sporting tight dresses, make-up, garish wigs, and creepiest of all, huge bosoms.  What would compel parents to allow their pre-prepubescent daughters to don such weird attire and pose for cringe-inducing photos like the ones below?  I have no idea.

Hate to break it to you guys, but ALL little girls do some form of dress-up/drag and stuff their t-shirt with socks to create gigantic breasts. It's in the top 3 most common ways little girls spend their time.

I don't know what little girls you hang out with, but the ones I know, and the one I was, don't/didn't go to the extremes shown in the pics above. Not all little girls are, uh... socialized like that.

The sort of look like midget circus performers, but from a horror movie. A movie with lots of CLOWNS.

This isn't about children performing as Dolly imposters but it is releted to the Ancient Queen of Country.

The link is an audio clip of Howard Stern playing clips from her recent Audio Book.
