This week's Sunday Paperweight is written with a slightly heavier heart, following the deaths of Dolly Parton and Tim Curry, who both died on Tuesday at the age of 80. Curry's first job out of uni was in the original production of the musical Hair in 1968, and only five years later was catapulted to fame by his fearless performance as lingerie-clad Dr Frank-N-Furter in the Rocky Horror Show. Fittingly, yet unintentionally, this week's edition features fishnets, wigs, face paint, and generally dressing up throughout. Losing Dolly Parton in the same week feels especially cruel, and this week's Greater Things is dedicated to her.
If you're one of the hundreds of new subscribers who joined this week, especially those who listened to our editor, Cal, talk about our ambitions for Paperweight on the Quiet Riot podcast, we'd like to offer you a special welcome. We're so delighted to have you, and thank you for supporting our journey to a print publication.
Here's what's coming up this week:
Darkroom: Geoff Sobelle’s contemporary portrait of America as a falling-apart circus

At Home: A Paperweight playlist for a rainy Sunday
En Route: 20,000 Avios on offer from British Airways Holidays
