The engraving on that is killer. I've read that she was pretty wild, so I'm sure she appreciated that.

Well I just read that book "Baby lets play house". I got the impression she was wild as a buck, but I am sure you are right. What was it that Elvis said at press conference, "Man I was tame compared to what they do now".

It is beautiful, and seems very sheek.
Natalie was very smart and was super sophisticated-she wanted to be in the "in crowd" the hippist, the wildest, the most talked about, and that shaded her way of living especially during her younger years. I really never saw what drew her to Elvis-since she was very much his opposite. Perhaps because she thought he was just as wild in his private life as he seemed on stage.

Well, opposites attract...at least for a short period of time :D

That's one very good looking cigarette case, that even a non-smoker would like to own :D
