Dolly the Sheep is named after Dolly Parton
Dolly the Sheep was named after Dolly Parton’s big breasts!
You may be surprised to learn that the first cloned mammal, Dolly the sheep, was actually named after the country singer Dolly Parton! Keith Campbell was the scientist in charge of the project who named the sheep after this voluptuous woman because the cell that the clone came from was a mammary gland cell.
Perhaps I would not know who this country singer was if it wouldn’t be for the sheep since I don’t listen to that kind of music. But here are some some photos of the star! It also seems that she loved to wear pantyhose and stockings.
Being one of the most famous country singers, Dolly Parton was actually invited to pose for Playboy several times, but declined. Her large breasts were quite an asset! But she has a big heart as well because she is involved in charity, philanthropy, and in her Dollywood Foundation project. I would love to hear your comments about this flamboyant beauty!
I wasn’t aware that’s where Dolly the sheep go her name. I did notice Dolly Parton’s fondness for beige pantyhose though. Perhaps that’s where Hooters got their inspiration for them as part of their waitresses’ uniform.
I found out when I was reading interesting animal facts online.
Now they clone dogs in Korea so people can have a duplicate of their beloved pet. I have controversial views on that. If it’s a species going extinct, that’s a different matter.
I’m not a country music fan but Dolly Parton is certainly a legend, her talent is unquestionable but she’s a very down to earth woman despite her flamboyant beauty. In an interview several years ago she said had she been born a boy she surely would have been a cross dresser because she just loved all the girly stuff. Judging by all her photos she’s definitely a girly girl.
Dolly was a star when I was a kid, and yep, she always loved those nude and tan hose…which of course, is one reason I loved Dolly. She still wears them a lot.
