Miley Cyrus’ godmother Dolly Parton sent her a fully-dressed lifesize mannequin of herself for Christmas. The 31-year-old ‘Flowers’ singer regularly talks about how the country music icon, 78, supports her, and has now revealed she stays in touch by faxing and gave her a unique festive gift last year. She told W magazine: “Dolly’s been like a mother to me.

Actually, I was just reading this fax that she sent me two Mother’s Days ago. “Dolly faxing is 100 percent part of my 9 to 5 fantasy. Journalism for the curious Australian across politics, business, culture and opinion.

“No one else faxes. I literally have to access my lawyer’s office, because the lawyer is the only person who can still receive a fax. “Dolly wrote to me to say: ‘How much do I love you? As much as my heart can hold and as far as my arms can reach.

’ “It gets me choked up. I just love her so much. “Last Christmas, she gave me a whole mannequin, done in her proportions and wearing her outfit.

It’s so major.” Miley opened up about Dolly’s gift after her W interviewer told her Dolly had gushed about her goddaughter in a special message. They told the singer: “Your godmother, Dolly Parton, had this to say about you: ‘She never stops and is always in the loop with all the things pertaining to the business, records, and people I should know and work with.

’” Miley also told how she has given up her wild-child days and now trains in high heels to replicate the hardship of her .
