Sheila….I have been told this by a friend who knew a friend,… who knew Elvis while he worked in Las Vegas. She says that Elvis donned that same head-dress and went down to the main floor, to go to the gift shop! He was under the delusion that his outfit would hide his identity!! Or…. alternate theory, …..mine….since he was fascinated by Valentino as a kid, and he had such a great sense of humor…..he decided to be daring…..as a lark. Either way……… he puts Valentino to shame!
// he puts Valentino to shame! // Well, I don’t know about THAT. :) The response to Valentino was a precursor to the Elvis phenom and there are a lot of similarities – you can see why Elvis loved him so much.
I seriously just love him so much in sheikh garb, I can’t even stand it.
Harum Scarum, I presume.
Yes. Promo shot. Dead serious. Brill!
I can’t stop looking at it. I am drawn into its absurd hypnotic glow.
Oh I love this and want a huge blow up on my wall! What is it about it? it is hypnotic! and sometimes it’s hysterical and then it’s just beautiful…..
hahaha exactly. It’s so absurd, and yet so gorgeous.
