Plain Talker Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Yes thank you Solomon I had a very good Christmas (I spoiled myself really) and a fab. N.Y.E. - what did you do? I read somewhere that Elvis was originally blonde and dyed his hair black, Lisa Maria was blonde too Elvis was not exactly blond, but he was definitely more a lightish brown. I heard it was some pomade-y type stuff he used, to slick his hair back, that made it turn so dark. Have you seen the photos of Lisa Marie, these days, and her lad who's about 16/18 years old? Talk about the apple not falling far from the tree!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We both sat in admiration of the sheer charisma and energy of the man. Elvis was Mr.Charisma and that's why he his memory and popularity still prevails today.

True Lisa does resemble Elvis, the son bears a very slight resemblance, though I maintain the real beauty of the family is Priscilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Talker Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 True Lisa does resemble Elvis, the son bears a very slight resemblance, though I maintain the real beauty of the family is Priscilla I personally think she's had a bit too much "work" done, in recent years, and now is beginning to look too artificial, and "pulled" but I agree that, 20 or 30 years ago, she was very pretty. Lisa Marie definitely has her daddy's eyes and mouth, and her son had inherited them, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cressida Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I know what you mean PT, though red lipstick has never been a favourite look of mine, I thought she looked lovely in the documentary, and also in the films with Leslie Neilson (Naked Gun series) Oh and I have seen photos of Elvis when he looked blonde, though never ginger - the black hair suited him the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
