Perhaps you have seen this photo on the internet. I run into it from time to time, but nobody has ever included a caption or text explaining the story of Elvis and this old car. Continue reading

50th Anniversary Movie Pictorials: Blue Hawaii – 1961
Blue Hawaii was released fifty years ago in November 1961. It was Elvis’ seventh film and was his most commercially successful movie, in spite of a rather skimpy plot. There is lots of great scenery, and 26-year-old Elvis looked in top form in his skin-tight swim trunks. Plus, there’s no shortage of skimpily-clad young ladies cavorting on the beach.

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

As a struggling twenty-six year old free-lance photojournalist in New York City, Wertheimer’s good fortune gained him access to Elvis Presley during that first, heady flush of fame in 1956.

Critiquing the 12 Days of Christmas in July
If you have ever bought anything from www.ShopElvis.com, you probably get their frequent e-mail announcements of items they are promoting. If you are like me, you have received lots of these.
However, I’ve never seen anything like the sales blitz they put on the past two weeks. It was called 12 Days of Christmas in July. Continue reading

Postscripts To Earlier ElvisBlogs — 6
It’s interesting how I regularly uncover pictures on the internet that would have made great illustrations for stories posted just weeks or months earlier. I guess that is the inevitable result of spending too much time cruising around looking for Elvis content. Continue reading
Elvis' Wedding Reception Redo
Lots of Elvis fans celebrate the anniversaries of events in Elvis’ life, including May 1, the day he and Priscilla married. However, not many folks this week celebrated the forty-third anniversary of Elvis’ second wedding reception on May 29, 1967. This event is pretty far down on the list of Elvis lore, but it is still an interesting story. Continue reading

Elvis' Grandchildren Cut 75th Birthday Cake
In the last ElvisBlog article, we looked at the sketch of the winning design for the special Elvis 75th birthday cake to be unveiled at Graceland on January 8. I promised to show a photo of the actual cake as soon as it was available. Well, here it is, and there is a big surprise. Cutting the cake are Riley and Ben Keough, Elvis' oldest grandchildren.
