Okay that is so bad for the eyelashes.  And skin. She sleeps, not only with all her makeup on, but also with her wig by her bedside in case of a hotel evacuation.

She might be on to something.  I never thought of it in those terms.  I would scare small children without makeup.  Says Dolly:

“I sleep in my make-up… I never know, if I’m in a high-rise building, if the building is gonna catch on fire or if I’m in an earthquake, and I just can’t imagine, like, having to get out just looking awful.  “I take my make-up off the next morning and put on new make-up.
“I don’t wanna get out in the street… I don’t wanna get arrested for indecent exposure: ‘Oh my God, did you see Dolly? She was like hammered snot!’”
