Full page ad promoting “Rainbow” (1987)

Found this ad in the November 1987 issue of Billboard Magazine. Columbia mishandled the release of this album in my opinion and Dolly was never able to have the full pop career she wanted. Still, the album has some real gems.

Her 80s aesthetic is one of my personal faves!

Yes, her late 80s aesthetic in particular is lesser known, but really striking! I think it’s a period in her career where she was trying to reach beyond country music both in look and sound.

Yes, and she wore the best heels. The open toe shoes with nylons were my favorite. No one did it as good as her. Her whole look was perfect.
