Damn it, I forgot. Yesterday was Elvis Presley's 75th birthday, and there is probably a gazillion photos and honor blog posts around that I can't beat. What I can do is to offer a few un-staged photos of the rock icon.
These pictures are taken by a photographer called Alfred Wertheimer in 1956. My favorites among these are the backstage kissing photos, but all them are beautifully natural and shows a relaxed (and oh-so-handsome) Elvis. I hope you'll enjoy.

Elvis in 1956 was probably his best moment. After that he went downhill - ballads & movies all driven by Colonel Parker.

I'm neither here nor there on Elvis. What I do know is that I like your blog, which is why I gave you an award. So head over to MY blog and spread the love.

Yes, 1950's Elvis is by far my favorite. And look at that hairstyle!

Sadomasochistic poetry is the real thing.

Wow, thank you! Really heartwarming on a day-after-the-night-before :)
I'll always feel a connection with a guy who was attacked in the high school bathroom by scissor happy rednecks...Elvis was a real freak of nature and therin lay the appeal!
