So yesterday I was telling one of my students about my fascination with Elvis impersonators (not Elvis himself, just the impersonators) and she said I was crazy. What's that all about? Am I the only girl in the world that thinks crazy 50s style hair and a little rhinestone action is hot? I especially like the way they combine the looks of Elvis. They choose the pre-bloat body (the good ones anyway) the late 50s - early 60s style hair and the rhinestones!!! Woo hoo! I'm also a fan of leather Elvis but the rhinestones just make it a little more special. And who doesn't want to feel special. It's all about the sparkle. I worked with a girl once who had slept with the Elvis impersonator on this cruise she was on. She was my hero. She also ordered a prom dress from a shop in Vegas. Is there anything funner? (Yes I know funner isn't a word).
Maybe I need to go to Vegas.
Or maybe I should befriend one of the rockabilly guys in the park and get him to wear the rhinestones for me! They've already got the hair! And the kick ass dance moves! Do you think they practice at home in front of a mirror? Do they have one of those walls of mirror like you see in the gym? The apartments here are generally pretty small so maybe they just go to the gym and practice their posing while lifting free weights. And if that's the case, do they wear their tight jeans or leather pants to the gym as well? What about the cowboy boots? Or do they wear spandex? Because that's just wrong. I'm just imaging one of them getting off the train to go to the gym with his greaser hair, cowboy boots, leather jacket and shiny black spandex shorts. Ack! Get out of my head! This may very well ruin the whole thing. I'm going to have to go back on a Sunday very soon to get this ghastly picture out of my mind. Ghastly. Is it even possible to say the word ghastly without using some sort of cheesy faux british accent? Not for me.
