Elvis was what every woman wanted to have and everything a man wanted to be....

There are tons of men that probably have a better looking face (symetric, better teeth, better skin, etc.), but it's the smile that makes Elvis magic I guess (saying that as a normal straight guy). Many people around Elvis said that Elvis had that special thing that made you wanting to be around him. Others said that Elvis gave you the feeling that he really liked you, that you were special.

I guess that such a great personality and charisma is visible through the smile and the eyes.

I guess I have to disagree that there were/are men with a better face. Elvis looked like a greek god or an ancient Egyptian Pharaoh...I know what you are trying to saying Albert - but if you ask most people even those who knew Elvis, he was the best looking man that they had ever seen... he was stunning and his presence was only enhanced by his Charisma. he was a prince from another planet but a King on ours...
Veronik, I know you are looking for a woman's prespective and so far two men have answered, but Elvis had that effect on us all - not just women.

True, it has actually been documented by serious i.e. unbiased (thus not Elvis fans) historians that Elvis' features eerily resemble those of ancient sculptures and prints, weird but true. The man had a perfect profile.
Add to that his interesting ethnic mix (olive skin in combination with light eyes, high cheekbones, wide yet sharp nose, long eyelashes, full lips) that only completed his unique, exotic look

But what truly made him so irresistable, in my opinion, is the fact that his gorgeous looks exuded both innocence and danger. He looked like an angel on the one hand, and very, very dangerous on the other - verrrrrry intriguing(sp)

AKing,you're right.I am sorry for leaving the guys out.We can also admit when a female is beautiful.I am sorry once again.I love both of your response.
Jerry Reed said once while visting Elvis backstage in Vegas:"Dam he is the best looking S.O B. that I have ever seeing."And you're right he was unique.He had all the ingridients.LOL.YUMM!!I loved everything about him.Nothing that I would take or add.

Happy New Year guys!

A females perspective....well here goes...
Elvis' looks were indeed quite unique, but there was something else that no-one has had since. The word 'charisma' has been thrown around, but it doesn't quite get there as far as Elvis is concerned. Elvis was the whole package. He could make a girl sink to the floor just by a look, or even a glance. I love watching the man move, whether its on stage walking towards the Sweets during Suspicious Minds, or lazing on a surfboard in Blue Hawaii. As far as being a female Elvis fan, it's probaly a bit difficult, because Elvis is the yard stick to which we tend to measure any other man we meet. And no-one quite measures up. To all the husbands and partners of female Elvis fans, don't feel badly, because you have been chosen as the next best thing, and thats a pretty mean feat. Elvis must have been a photographers dream, even the candid pictures are fantastic. To see the way his eyes lit up when he was with Lisa, or to watch him concentrating on a song or music is as exciting as watching him on stage or in any of the movies. The best way to describe Elvis is to allow him to have the last word.....'so I just keep singing the song'......EP

[P.S. Annie]

The way he moves.............. looks at the camera........... , smiles (o my )................his boyish charm and like Cherokee said he looked like an angel but..............




I have not enough words to descripe his charimsa..........

[Joe Car]

I'm a happily married man and openly admit that EP was the best-looking guy I ever seen. My wife (who's really not a fan) says "his face was flawless". I think about the interview he did from Graceland after coming back from the army and how beautiful he looked, you know the interview where he mentioned the upcoming Sinatra show. Then in TTWII where he and the guys were sitting around the laughing toy before the show, he was tanned, fit and looked unbelievably great.

[ComeBackChick]

Its his face! Those cheekbones, that smile, he had the best smile!!

[minni1]

OK, here's my $.02. You could take any one of Elvis' physical attributes, and say, "Yes, this turns me on, i.e., his gorgeous eyes, beautiful smile, chiseled cheekbones, fine @$$, sexy chest, etc." And, you would be %100 correct. But I think, mostly, it's his beautiful soul shining through that makes him so special.

[Lindnet]

I love everything about Elvis, but I have to say that I'm particularly fascinated by his lips! He had the most beautiful shaped lips I've ever seen on a man or a woman! No wonder every woman in the audience wanted to kiss him!

[P.S. Annie]

Lips.....aha........mmmmm..............

[mistymorning]

His evey physical quality is unique and perfect, hardly can find proper words to describe him.His smile was exquisite.The crook of his lip reveald in the shyest way a suppressed delight.The flash of teeth molded to his grin like a roller- coaster to its trellis in a perfect match. he possessed a noble bone structure, the eny of Shakespearean advocates, with an immaculate hairline accenting the broad intelligent forehead.The explosion of well groomed sideburns, ending in sweeping flourish at the peak oh high cheekbones gleaned from his cherokee blood and boldness oh his jaw, set the visual stage for a scenario of impending revelation. the wide set eyes which did on occasion betray their dascination for blue to become tinted with smokey gray and greens, were the supreme reward one sought when gazing upon elvis, like a shimmering pool , the beholder tumbled into the depth of them and into the secrets of ages they contained.HE IS REALLY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GUY ONE CAN SEE An ALIVE DREAM< A MAN WHO WILL NEVER WILL BE REPEATED.

[Indre]

Apart from his music, what I love most in Elvis is his eyes and voice. He's perfect on the whole, but those can drive me outta my mind!!
He WAS unique in all aspects, including looks, music, charisma. Again, there will be no one like Elvis againnn!!

[mistymorning]

I agree with you completely!!your touching sentences make me cry!!elvis is soooo lovely!

[Cryogenic]

Interesting topic.

Before I properly begin and add my own thoughts, mistymorning got that little bit of prose-cum-poetry from here:

http://www.elvislightedcandle.org/theman/archetype.html

'Tis a very interesting page. There's even a quotation on it that reminds me of all the other people who've said similar things. I guess there really is some truth in it:

Photographer Sean Shaver in his book, ?Elvis In Focus? comments on Elvis? face thusly:

"His skin glowed, and his eyes had a shine to them that I had never seen before or since in any person?s eyes. I was never able to get a photograph of him that did him justice. I have never had anyone who ever saw him in person tell me they thought the real Elvis had been caught on film.....Here was perfection in the male face. Adding to his looks was the fact that he never took himself seriously. He joked about how he looked....He was like something out of a dream....When Elvis entered the room everybody turned to see him, even those facing away from where he made his entrance somehow knew he was there. Without seeing him you knew he was near, you felt his presence.

"It was not because he was Elvis the singer but because of some invisible power he had. It went far beyond being charismatic. It was a power. It was magnetic. If others had not made the same comment I could not say it, I would not want to sound like something was wrong with me."

Of course, we don't have a living, breathing, three dimensional Elvis to go on anymore. But I'm staggered at the number of people who've said the same things. Priscilla is amongst them. So much for her denigrating or failing to appreciate Elvis or communicate that appreciation to others. I hope that gives the various Priscilla Bashers food for thought.

Elvis looks almost ethereal in publicity photos from Harum Scarum. Maybe it's his skin tone, expression, clothing... or something else.

I do happen to think he was one of - if not the - best looking men in the world. I also think a key ingredient to his looks was the absolute intensity of his features with which he could instantly wax from a look of "I'm gonna kill you" to "Are you enjoying yourself as much as I am?" and anything and everything in between. He had it all. He could also dress up in anything and it totally worked for him - denim trousers, silk shirts, velvet jackets, sparkling jumpsuits, cowboy outfits, doctor's uniforms, jogging tracksuits... absolutely anything. I don't know a single other person on the planet, past or present, who has the range of looks and styles that Elvis did whilst still managing to look infinitely cool, alluring and 100% individual.

But still, if there's anyone that comes close to the "Greek god" aspect of Elvis' looks, it must surely be Christopher Reeve as Superman. Although the comparison is in many ways like apples and oranges, he DOES give Elvis a run for his money in his peak:







Proof that there's room in the world for more than one type of physical perfection. And this coming from a straight male! Don't get me started on all the gorgeous females out there.
