00:00 >> 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.
