New 'official' Elvis photos

Elvis' pr people have posted some rather odd photos.

They are too big to paste here but I am especially intrigued by his pose outside a shop. Maybe its supposed to be something to do with being a 'Delivery Man' - anyone here got a better idea?

Bad pics.....He looks like a guy bored waiting for his wife outside a shop! I like the way they've flipped the photo as well so that you can't read the poster about strokes and osteporosis!

There is an advert for a delivery service next to his left hand (by the bubble gum machine)...is that a subtle Deliveryman thing?

Dang, those pics sure do get big! I can see the fibers in his clothing!

But hey, I've seen those silver boots before! Up close and personal.
And there's that little clover thingy around his neck that I heard some of the people on listserv talking about. Interesting. And no tie!

A rather odd selection of pictures.

I've just been tempted by the fruit of another.

Elvis really needs to stop wearing hats

That's what I was thinking . . . oh no, he's started wearing hats again!

I kinda like the very bottom picture though.

As one article recently posted on this board points out (and as any of us who have seen him in concert can attest), EC's hairline is receding. Perhaps that's why he often wears hats.

Who does Elvis think he is.. Paul Simon?

Oh well, at least he isn't wearing baseball caps.. yet.

I think he looks a little like Kramer in this one:

EC's hairline has been receding for 20 years! Maybe he's trying to avoid having to apply sunscreen!

Does EC buy off the rack? The sleeves of his leather coat are too long!

I noticed during the first show at Lincoln Center his jacket was too long for him, and that he would close his hand and grasp the sleeve in his hand.

EC must have enough dough to retain a decent tailor. What gives?

Maybe he doesnt give a shit?

It's called style, not looking-like-everyone-else.

AH! Bite your tongue, Bluechair....no baseball caps on Elvis!

As for the sleeves and the choices and the whole "look".....I don't think he's terribly into it and just wears whatever he feels like wearing. Even if he thinks it's funky or a bit too much, so what. He may be feeling some pressure to dress a certain way since his musical journey has taken him to some different places.

He looks younger without the funky hats. He may have a receeding hairline, but he's still got a nice dark head of hair.

I like his hair now. It suits him perfectly.
