This is actually not my first try at blogging. I had a blog for about five minutes a few years ago. This was back when they were trendy (before MySpace became a household word, and now even MySpace is becoming a bit passe--though you'd never know it by watching the patrons where I work), but I lead a very quiet life, and I ended up deleting it because I was boring even myself.
Why "Velvet Elvis"? Well, for some reason I really, really wanted a velvet Elvis painting when I was a little girl. That, and a wooden duck decoy, and a rubber chicken. (Don't ask why. I have no idea.) I got over the rubber-chicken and duck-decoy yearnings, but I still have a soft spot for Elvis, especially in his tackier manifestations. I probably wouldn't turn down a velvet Elvis if someone offered me one now. How could you fail to appreciate someone who introduced the world to something as deliriously over-the-top as the Fool's Gold sandwich?
