Pathetic ELVIS Costume

[TCB4ELVIS]

I couldn't believe it when I saw it. When is EPE going to step up and put a stop to these people ruining the image of Elvis Presley. Elvis was pretty much in shape his whole singing career. Making a mockery of the image that revolutionized not only the music industry but movies and modeling in the 50's and 70's image.
Isn't the name Elvis Presley a trademark? Can't EPE pull any unapproved Elvis item produced?

It just sadden me to see this

Cheesy is all I can say

Not saying that EPE shouldn't do anything how are they going to pull everything that is looking bad? I think the main thing they should do is stop the ETA's from graceland for starters and than work at stopping all the bad stuff going around.

I second that emotion...If Lisa-Marie can forbid an Elvis ballet production, why can't she do something about people producing products that is embarrassment to man that gave everything he had to provide for her future?

Does the company not have to gain permission to use his name????

So bad on so many levels. I hope they get stuck with it!

1st off I want to apologize for my typos/missing words in the last comment.Sorry

I don't know about getting permission, but it's bad enough when we have these impersonators who make a joke of his image,(not the one's that take the time and money to study the real Elvis sound and image), but to add a fat stomach suit to the cheap jumpsuit really is the icing on the cake for me.

Even overweight at the end Elvis was a very handsome man who took care of himself. The night before he died he went to see his dentist and not until 1975 did the obvious signs of health issues physically appear. That leaves only 2 years of weight problems.

I've seen, Henry the 8th, Costumes with the turkey leg but that was cause of a painting he had done of himself. Even so, Elvis was a great human being and brought so much happiness to the world, something should be done about this image desecration of, "THE KING OF ROCK N ROLL' and the 'MOST POPULAR ENTERTAINER OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY." Titles well deserved by, Elvis Presley.

Elvis is not just a poular singer in usa or Europe , he is an iternational personality , one of the greatest ( or greatest ) singer of the 20the century , an artistic icon and a great human being . It's just a shame to see that some people missuse his name for getting money . Being overweight is not something to make fun of !!!!!! he was sick the last few years of his life but despite of sickness and health problems he was a very handsome man to the end ! he was just overweight the last two years of his life , why don't some people consider that he was the symbol of male beauty all through his life ?!

PURE CRAP IF YOU WANT A GREAT JUMPSUIT GET WITH ME AND I CAN HOOK YOU UP WITH JUMPSUITS FIT FOR A KING

[debtdbruno]

This the worst scum there is. Unfortunately they won't get stuck with it, there's a bid been put on it.
I don't suppose EPE can do anything about things sold on e-bay???

I totally agree with you!

It pains me to say it but its the way of the world today... there are a lot of etas who do a great tribute to elvis and who are dedicated to what they do..i dont have a problem with this.. lets face it he was overweight the year he died but no one could take away his looks, and for me he had that until the end!

I wonder if whoever would buy this suit is trying to do a Tribute to Elvis'
talent or his size at the end. Very shabby, I say.
