I was a very young teen when Elvis became really big. Funny, I didn't like him back then. It was only when I saw him in his special he did in about 1966 (?), just him and his band live, that he really impressed me. That colonel really did a number on him. He would've been a much better performer if he wasn't under the Colonel's iron grip.
Thanks for posting this about Elvis. I am a big fan. I saw him twice live in the 70's on tour. He had it all, looks, charisma and talent. Never be another one like him. We miss you Elvis!
Love Elvis ! I think the special was in Maddison square garden in 56if you're talking about the concert where he was wearing a black leather suit Roberta. He was hot ! I'm 23 and I've probably been listening to Elvis' songs for 23 years ;)

My Inspiration
Behind the Inspiration
Many of you might not know I began this blog after being so inspired by Marilyn Monroe and all she was. I'm in love with old Hollywood and Marilyn embodies everything about it that I am inspired by. Who better to inspire me? Over the years, the blog has become less about Marilyn and more about me, my love of fashion, and appreciation for life, however I won't forget the inspiration that started it all, thus the name, "Blonde Episodes."
Blonde Bits By Marilyn
"Ever notice that 'what the hell' is always the right decision?"
"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."
"If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything."
"The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space."
"We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets."
"I don't mind living in a man's world, as long as I can be a woman in it."
"We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle."
"I want to grow old without facelifts. I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I have made."
"Keep smiling, because life is a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about."
"All a girl really wants is for one guy to prove to her that they are not all the same."
"A career is wonderful but you can't curl up with it on a cold night."
"If you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."

I've been watching Elvis movies all day. What a loss to the world. Love that first picture!

The first picture on the post is one of my favourites! :") Elvis stays unrivalled.

My favorite singer of all time. Bar none.
Happy bday to the king!
BTW, I love the new look of your blog, ir;s gorgeous. Did you design it yourself?
He would have ONLY been 76? Geez for some reason I thought he'd be older. What a shame he died. He would have been a cool older guy!

I thought the same as Melanie.
Elvis- My man! Love him...wish I could have been born when he was alive just to go see him in a concert!
