Elvis has left the building!



I'm cleaning out my closets, I have a gold lame Elvis sort of jacket. Do you want it? I'll bring it in.

"Sure! Why the hell not! Everyone needs one of those! I'm sure I'll find some use for it."

**next morning**

Hahahaha! I wish I had a camera!

I have one, my phone. You know how to work it. "Oh yeah!"

"Wait! You need a rose in your mouth!"

Oh, and my 3d glasses. Gotta wear the glasses. TCB you know.

"Tilt your head." *click*

That jacket is hideous BTW.

I know! That's part of it's beauty. :-)

It's from Italy you know, it has all these strange labels inside it. I'm sure at one time it was very expensive and tré chic.

It belonged to a sightly excentric wealthy woman who never married or had children. She was quite the globe trotter I'm told.

Family friend of my co-worker... She showed me her picture. She's dead now. Ooooh, maybe it's haunted! She sounded like she'd be a fun ghost to have hanging about.

Hmmm if i was dressing you, I'd think you should wear it w/lots of polyester & a shirt open at the neck, showing your chest hair(if you have some)& a necklace with a zodiac sign. & some pants that are a god awful color. Everything should be really shiny & slinky, of course.
Oh, white shoes, too.

DISCO

You know one thing that i thought was funny about the pictures? Those people in the background. Gawkers, I think they are called.

Ahhh. If only. I used to have all that. Rich distant cousins from upstate NY used to send their castoffs this way. They were the country club sort. All manner of horrible golf pants, white shoes galore, polyester disco shirts. All bought from Saks Fifth Avenue. It was truly horrid stuff. I think I still might have the zodiac medallion.

I finally got tired of having all the crap so it went to Goodwill and the Salvation Army. Shame I don't still have it all, it would be "vintage retro" now and fetch a nice price somewhere.

You saw my boobie, no hairy chest here.

re: Gawkers. They weren't looking at me/us. They didn't even notice until I walked by them. They were busy talking baseball.

An ex brother-in-law of mine used to have a powder blue polyester sports jacket & matching slacks. He loved Englbert Humperdink(?) He also had a Van with swivel Caption seats in the back & a bar. He was the bomb back in 1979. The thing about those slinky polyester shirts...they were so touchable.

You mean the gawkers didn't notice that godawful jacket? Baseball must have some appeal!

They sure noticed it when I walked by. Nobody really bats an eyelash when something out of the norm is going on and I'm involved.

I'm really not as wacky as I might seem... but you have to take what you got and run with it.

Did you go see the Blue man group?

Unknown said...

Sure did. Cool, very cool. I know none of the pics came out, I have to get them developed. The show pics on my phone are lousy.
