IMAGE OF THE WEEK

This looks like a publicity picture from around the time of Girls!Girls!Girls! in 1962.

DOLL OF THE WEEK

Stella Stevens played in the movie Girls! Girls! Girls! with Elvis in 1962. I have always thought she was pretty damn hot. Though from what I have heard Elvis and her was not that tight. She appeared in Playboy in 1960, pretty nice, worth looking for!

DOLL OF THE WEEK

Pamela Tiffin is the doll of the week. She appeared in many films in the 60's and was a real beauty at one time. Her connections with Elvis was that she was offered roles in three films with him but turned them down. She was offered Blue Hawaii, Girls! Girls! Girls! and Fun In Acapulco. She said the reason she did not do the movies was because Peter Glenville and Dolores Hart poisoned her mind against it. She said Hal Wallis said she did not have to do the movies unless she wanted to. So since everyone had said not to do it, she didn't. She has to to have met Elvis and she considered him adorable and a gentleman. She later said she regretted not doing the movies. I wish she had done a movie with Elvis. I could have handled seeing her run around in a bikini on the beach In Blue Hawaii!

POLL RESULTS

For this weeks poll we had the question which movie set in Hawaii is your favorite. Blue Hawaii was the winner with four votes.
Girls!Girls!Girls! had two and Paradise,Hawaiian Style has two as well.
Thinking about this poll got me in a Blue Hawaii mood. I have watched Blue Hawaii every night this week. I would say I am going to go watch it again tonight. Song below is one of my all time favorites.

Random Elvis Song Of The Week

I am on the lookout for a much needed Elvis item

I am needing a copy of Girls!Girls!Girls! on VHS. It is the only movie I don't have on VHS. I don't really need it, I wont ever use it seeing that I have it on DVD. I fill like a part of my collection is incomplete not having it. A new copy is going for around fifty dollars right now. I think I might have a source on a good used copy. Hopefully I can get it.

The Collection grows

Last week I went crazy and dropped a hundred dollars on Elvis movie posters. It was money well spent. I got replica prints of the original movies posters from Kid Galahad,Girls!Girls!Girls!, It Happened At The Worlds Fair, and King Creole. The Creole poster is the alternate one used back in 58. I will post pics of them when I get them framed and put on the wall. These things are a steal at only 24.99 a pop. I have been looking for these for quite some time. I am really pumped over the IT poster since it is my favorite movie. They have several others that I hope to get in the coming months.

Thoughts on new FTD's

I am going to give you some thoughts about my new FTD's that I got while in Memphis. For those who might not know what I am talking about when I say FTD, let me give you a short explanation. Fallow That Dream records releases material that is not normally part of the usual releases by Sony BMG. Many live concerts and studio outtakes are found on these releases. This is for the serious collector when it comes to Elvis' music. They cost you a lot more than most normal CD's you can buy. It is worth every penny in my opinion though. My favorite CD's come from the FTD label. For a more detailed explanation visit the news and FAQ's section on Elvis.com.
Now to my thoughts on my new CD's. I picked up two movie soundtracks. I am a huge fan of the movies so I always make it a point to buy a soundtrack when I am buying new material. I picked up Girls! Girls! Girls! and Harum Scarum. The Girls CD is great. This has some great outtakes on it. I loved hearing Mama and I Don't Want To Be Tied outtakes. Harum Scarum was also a treat. This is not the best soundtrack the Elvis catalog has to offer in my opinion. I still find my self loving most of the songs on here. I have always liked the songs Hey Little Girl and Go East Young Man. Hey Little Girl has a few extra takes on the album that I enjoyed. I also got Long Lonely Highway. This covers some of Elvis' work in Nashville in the 60's. This will for sure be a favorite from now on. Most of the songs on here are favorites of mine.About sixteen of the songs are previously unreleased material. Shes Not You is my favorite track of this CD.
I am going to take a break now. I will be back shortly to cover the other five CD's I got.
