The Elvis Jumpsuit Database

  • Awesome. I couldn't pick a favorite, but I think this Elvis was the cutest.
  • I want a database of all the drugs he took.
  • Elvis never took drugs. Blasphemer.
  • what a cool site!
  • psssst! Elvis is a vampire. That's why he's not dead. Pass it on.
  • I went to Graceland last year and saw many of his costumes on display in his former raquetball court. A railing separated me from the suit he wore onstage in the concert from Hawaii. A railing. That, and some fear of bodily harm from Graceland's crack security team. Since the link doesn't work on forks's site, you can see a decent, but faded picture of the Eagle suit here.
  • Mickey, did you notice that all the jumpsuits displayed at Graceland were a much smaller size than the Elvis who wore them? Graceland has serious image control going on. Aparently the Elvis who lived there never got fat.
  • Elvis never did get fat. Blasphemer.
  • Gone Bad, I was too busy figuring out how much Elvis memorabilia would fit in my car to notice.
  • don't wanna be, bop a da-da your teddy bear bop a da-da
  • Some idolize the young, sleek, svelte Elvis with the tight pants and the swiveling hips but I have always preferred the bloated, drug addled, jumpsuit wearing, TV shooting Elvis of later years. He was the Homer of his time.
