Elvis’ Fabulous Rings — Part 2
In March 2011, ElvisBlog presented a pictorial essay showing thirteen Elvis-owned rings that had sold at auction in the previous five years. A few more Elvis’ rings have changed hands in auctions since then, but various websites have provided photos … Continue reading
The Evolution of Elvis Tribute Continues
Reference books state that Elvis gave performances in 79 cities in 1956. How many cities do you think hosted Elvis Tribute Artists in 2011? My guess is that it could be ten times that number. Continue reading

Do We Really Need Elvis Barbie?
On September 15, Elvis.com/news featured an interview with the designer of the new Elvis Barbie doll. Maybe I missed something, but I never knew it was already on the market. As you can see, Elvis Barbie is wearing an outfit inspired by his famous gold lamé suit. She is touted as wearing a ‘pompadour ponytail, and can be yours for only $49.99. Continue reading

Bad Hair Day / Good Hair Day — You Call It
My friend Alan Hanson writes a wonderful blog about Elvis Presley. He and I have often come up with similar ideas, but usually they are years apart after time has dulled our memory of the other’s work. This week we both independently decided to do a blog on Elvis’ hair. Continue reading
Elvis T-Shirt Review 3 — Summer 2011
The latest catalog of goodies from Elvis Presley Enterprises just came in, and I always check it out for new items that interest me (or make me laugh because they are so dumb). As usual, the Summer 2011 catalog had lots of new T-shirts, so I clicked on ShopElvis.com to see the entire assortment of available Elvis T-shirts. This has to be the best line Graceland has ever presented. Continue reading
Moving Elvis Mr. Potato Head Parts Around
I’ve done two previous articles on the Elvis Mr. Potato Head figures. The first was favorable, and that resulted in me getting an e-mail thank you message from from Dean Gorby of PPW Toys, the company that makes the Elvis Mr. Potato Heads for Hasbro. I wrote back and asked if I could get some in-house photos of the Elvis Live, as the first model was called. Continue reading
Elvis Scrapbooks — Part 2
Last week we started a discussion on Elvis Scrapbooks and took a look at the first six pages of one I recently borrowed. 50s teenagers enjoyed compiling Elvis items in organized scrapbooks. It should come as no surprise to you that Col. Parker saw the fad for Elvis scrapbooks and marketed a few to meet this demand. Continue reading
Elvis Scrapbooks — Part 1
Throughout his life, Elvis’ adoring fans expressed their devotion by attending his concerts, buying his records, joining fan clubs, and keeping Elvis scrapbooks. Continue reading
Happy Birthday, Elvis

Elvis Mr. Potato Head, Part 2 and 3
Most Elvis websites and blogs noted the announcement of Elvis Mr. Potato Head back in June. Some were actually hostile to the idea, but I liked it and said so. I may be old, but I like my Elvis toys, and this is a good one. Continue reading
