━ ✧ ( freya mavor, 23, she/her ) did you hear about loretta ‘lo’ dickens’ new record ? it’s totally bitchin' ! apparently people who have interviewed her say they’re really ambitious & resilient, but they can be sort of disruptive & blunt if you catch her at a bad time. gingham print, coffee fueled all-nighters, the rhinestone covered nail at the end of a middle finger salute. *dolly parton vc!!

howdy folks !! i know i’m super late to the game here because my work schedule today & the next couple days is whack BUT you can call me spencer or sb, i use they/them pronouns, broadcasting from the cst time zone in the american southeast ( because, of course i would be with a dolly vc afvsgbsdfv ) && i’m here to introduce you to my country music child star that’s breaking her way into the mainstream music scene !! if you’d like to plot w her, feel free to go ahead and jump into my ims or give this a like and i’ll come to yours !! this will probably inevitably get way longer than necessary so feel free to just skip to the tldr version lmao

        ♡        name:   loretta rose dickens         ♡        nicknames:   lorie ( to her parents ), itty ( to childhood friends ), lo ( to the rest of the world )         ♡        age:   twenty-three         ♡        date of birth:   july 31 ( yes, she’s a love crazed leo what’s new )         ♡        place of birth:   sevierville, tennessee         ♡        accent:   southern american, specifically appalachian         ♡        gender:   cisgender woman         ♡        pronouns:   she / her / hers

        ♡        loretta rose dickens was born the youngest of six children in the smokey mountains of east tennessee. to say she was the apple of her parents’ eyes would have been an understatement. despite the fact that her father’s career as a coal miner didn’t provide them with the highest income, they made the best of the life they had, and her parents always did whatever they could to give the children the whole world.         ♡        lo first discovered her love for music in church. from the moment she was able, she sang along to every song from her seat in the worn down pews. until she was old enough to join the choir, then everyone was singing along with her. she was a natural, and was doted on by all the other members for her talents.          ♡        while her passion for music never waned, it never occurred to lo that it could be a career. but soon enough her parents and their friends were encouraging her to perform more publicly than just the church. by the age of eleven, lo was featured on a number of local tv programs and radio shows, and by twelve she and her mother were signing contracts to record her first few singles. suddenly, she was being played on country music radio stations across the country. it was all uphill from there; suddenly she was a teenager and going a few hours away to nashville once a week to record music while she finished school. after graduating, she moved to nashville full time, and lived there for a couple of years before bigger opportunities had her packing up and taking the cross-country trip to los angeles.          ♡        since her move to la, lo has been experimenting with her music a bit outside of the country bubble. these days, most of her tunes have more pop-sounding melodies, but she never forgets to add her own southern twist. her aesthetic and music mixes elements of classic country with the gaudy, over-the-top elements that characterize the era. ( the “ it takes a lot of money to look this cheap ” dolly quote is the most lo thing ever ok )         ♡        her music hasn’t been the only thing that has changed in recent years, though. just as she mixes styles with her music, her once virtuous country girl image has been tainted with the growing sex appeal she conveys, and she had become much more outspoken and short with interviewers and critics. that’s not to mention that she’s been caught being promiscuous with a number of other stars, as well as been seen partying maybe just a little too hard. older followers of lo and more conservative country music fans ─ who make up a considerable portion of her audience ─ are alarmed ( some even outraged ) by what seems to be a spark of rebellion coming from the once pure child star. 

ℙ 𝔼 ℝ 𝕊 𝕆 ℕ 𝔸 𝕃 𝕀 𝕋 𝕐

        ♡        to begin, lo is super outspoken and blunt. not to say she’s unnecessarily mean, because she’s not, but she isn’t afraid to tell it how it is. especially if it’s about something she cares a lot about.         ♡        she also ( generally ) is a do no harm but take no shit kind of person. she’s not gonna go out of her way to be malicious but she will not stand for bullshit. she will shut that down quick. this is one of the things that’s got her put into that ‘at risk’ category, because she has gotten snippy with a bunch of reporters, especially for asking sexist questions. she ain’t gonna have it ok.         ♡        a love addict ─ she wants to love, wants to be loved, wants to be involved with love. similarly, she is the biggest flirt you’ll ever meet, and has a promiscuous streak going. not good at relationships, because in the fews she’s been in she always ended up cheating. just generally a boy crazy mess.         ♡        so so so ambitious and passionate. if you tell her she can’t do something, she’ll do it just to prove you wrong. demands to be taken seriously.         ♡        can be argumentative for that same reason ^ always always always wants to be right. could luck getting her to concede in a fight.         ♡        loves contradictions in everything, which is a good thing because she is one tbh.

𝕋 𝕃 𝔻 ℝ ;

        ♡        lo was a child star on the country music scene for a while before she started dipping her toe into pop-y sounds and moved to la. now she’s kind of in the midst of a post-child star rebellious phase ( think 2012 miley but slightly less loud abt it and minus the cultural appropriation ). that along with her being more outspoken about her views on feminism and other social issues upset the conservative country fans that made up a large part of her ongoing audience, which is why she’s considered ‘at risk’. really just wants to have fun and be young tbh. huge flirt, kinda boy crazy. mixes very strong and intentional sex appeal with the classic virtuous southern girl image. would die 4 her gang.

        ♡        best fiends forever   ─  best friends who are super close but also have a habit of stirring up trouble together. probably a little bit infamous in the media for being mischievous together. could be more than one character, even; i’m always down for a badass girl gang.         ♡        can’t stay true   ─   messy exes, maybe on again / off again, who were together but both of them seemed to always have trouble staying faithful to one another. ( potential for another on again / off again spell if you want and it works ─ but definitely not necessary !! )         ♡        featuring . . .   ─   someone who she collaborates with creatively often !! could be another performer or group, a writer, really any role that would fit could be fun !!         ♡        literally anything else ( friends, enemies, role models, anything & everything ) !! if you have ideas shoot them my way or we can brainstorm !!

She refused to be bored, chiefly because she wasn’t boring.

She was also incredibly confident, with a way of moving and talking that communicated that she didn’t need anyone to tell her she was beautiful or worthwhile.
