This
universal site is
dedicated to honoring
Elvis, the
King of Rock ‘n’ Roll,
who exists in all cultures
on the planet earth and in
galaxies beyond. We honor
him by doing business in
his name. By revering his
words, music and images.
By impersonating the
master. By sharing stories
and earthly sightings of
E. By corresponding with
him. By visiting this
hallowed website
frequently and with love.
Say he da King.
Elvis Moments
The
tradition of tossing
scarves to the audience
began when Elvis was
appearing in concert at Las
Vegas in 1969. Originally,
he would toss one or two
sweat-soaked scarves
during a concert.
Naturally, his fans were
ecstatic. Eventually Elvis
tossed up to several dozen
scarves per show. In
addition, scarves were
sold at the souvenir
booths for fans who didn't
catch one during the show.

Oops!
In
1975 Elvis broke the
existing record for
attendance for a single
performance with his New
Year's Eve concert at the
Silverdome in Pontiac,
Michigan. More
than 62,500 fans got even
more than they bargained
for when, during the
middle of "Polk Salad
Annie," Elvis's pants
split. Imagine how
self-conscious he must
have felt with all eyes on
him. This was later
referred to as the
changing pants concert. *

The
Incredible Shrinking E
Most
people do not know this,
but
Elvis once had himself
shrunk so he could date
Barbie. It was done
through a process called
temporary genetic
miniaturascoptomy. It took
only a few seconds for
Elvis to go from his
normal size to the
diminutive form that we
see in this picture of him
and the petite Barbie.
After the date and his
restoration to original
size, Elvis said it was
fun but she walked
funny.
This is
the most requested
picture in the
history of the

Archives.

History
We love
our Tribute
Artists. They are
truly keeping the
faith. See how
they are keeping
history alive,
too, on the Impersonator
Net.
Let us
long remember the
dastardly attack on
America, September 11,
2001. All Americans can
honor Elvis by doing their
part to defeat the forces
of evil that unleashed
this horror. He would have
led the charge to smash
the devil's vermin.

Accepting
one of the "10
Outstanding Young Men of the
Nation" awards from
the National Jaycees in
1970, Elvis said, "I
was the hero of the comic
book. I saw movies and I
was the hero of the
movies. So every dream I
ever dreamed has come true
a hundred times…I
learned very early in life
that without a song, the
day would never end.
Without a song, a man
ain't got a friend.
Without a song the road
would never bend. Without
a song. So I keep singing
the song."
And
he shall bestow it on one
of his own likeness
At
the June 30, 1973, show at
the Omni in Atlanta, Elvis
heard that a woman in the
audience had brought her
seven-year-old son to the
concert dressed as an
Elvis-look-alike. Elvis
had the house lights
turned on so that everyone
could see the boy and then
presented him with a
lavishly embroidered
thunderbird belt and cape.
This was one of Elvis'
most valuable costumes,
studded with real
turquoise and coral and
valued in 1987 at
$75,000.
He
wasn't even a lookalike.
Elvis
gave his white and gold
jumpsuit and cape
featuring the starburst
pattern to the maitre'd at
Tahoe after a show in the
early 1970s. It was valued
at $100,000 in 1987. *
