Hmm. This is a new one on me. I've read that he had some stuff done
around his eyes and that it was so minor nobody he knew even noticed, but
I've never heard anything about a nose job.

I am!!
On alternating weekdays. You gotta cast a wide net these days.
Fine by me too, but this guy keeps asking questions like "were his teeth
capped" and "who changed his bed linen after he erm, 'soiled' them". I'm
sure he's a very nice, well balanced person, but his posts give me the
creeps.
But so what? - nobody is being hurt or insulted. Hes justs been accused of
being gay here. Suave - do you have a problem with gay people?
"When he showed up on the set (Loving You) in January 1957, he had been
glamourized -- with the help of one of Hollywood's leading plastic surgeons.
Both he (Elvis) and his high school buddy turned disk jockey, George Klein,
had become patients of Dr. Maury Parks, who was known at the time as the
"nose doctor." Klein's surgery has never been a secret, but Elvis insisted
on it. (it meaning the secrecy of his nose job)
"He wanted someone else to have the operation at the same time," said Joe
Esposito, a longtime Presley confidant. According to Esposito, Elvis' nose
was altered "only slightly." The acne scars disappeared and his complexion
was suddenly flawless. Elvis would go on to be a repeat customer for Dr.
Parks.
Other changes were made as well. Elvis teeth had been capped. And most
noticeably after years of temporarily darkening his hair -- with greases,
oils, and on rare occassion even shoe polish -- he finaly decided to dye it
black. With rare exceptions he would retain that color for the rest of his
life. In, fact, Elvis Presley's black hair became such a part of his image
that many people would never realize he was once sandy blonde."
a note: A few years ago, there was a documentary out . . . which aired on
the romance channel (I taped it)
it was about June Juanico, who was Elvis' girl in the middle to late 50's,
it was called Elvis' Lost Love.
There is COLOR footage taken of Elvis and June, and others, on a fishing
boat while on vacation in Bilouxi (June's hometown), the footage is
interesting, Elvis is sort of chubby, just enough to make you go aw (sighs)
he smokes cigars, fishes some, and this is the ONLY time that I can ever
recall seeing his natural hair color.
June Juanico wrote a book called Elvis: In The Twilight Of Memory, suggested
reading.
Almost everyone and anyone who ever had any kind of contact with the man,
has written a book, I wonder how Elvis would feel about that ? Some of the
books are not so nice, but then there are books like Billy Stanley's book
(Elvis' step-brother) Elvis: My Brother. I really liked that book, I just
had to smile. Read Down at The End of Lonely Street if you haven't already.

When you've had a nose job, you have blood-injected rings around your
eyes for at least two weeks, sometimes a few months. Some (unlucky)
people need almost a year before their face is back to, say, rest.
I mean a real, actual nose job, not a slight thing that doesn't change
your appearance.
I doubt Elvis was ever long enough from the public eye to have been
through this on the sly.
(I can tell : I've had a nose job two months ago and my surgeon told
that kind of stuff).
Why?

Isn't that interesting, since Joe didn't meet Elvis until 1959 in Germany.
He was not a repeat patient of Dr. Parks'.
The one plastic surgery that any of us knew about was done by a Memphis
surgeon. Dr. Parks was in Hollywood.
Elvis did pay for Klein's nose job because George's original nose was huge and
he was self conscious about it. No mention was ever made of Elvis having
plastic surgery back then by Klein, Elvis or anyone else that was there at the
time.
He had no problem talking to us about the one in the 70's and I'm confident
that if he had one in '56 or '57 he would have told us.
Believe what you want.

MJ: All of Hollywood has plastic surgery! I don't know why they point me
out. The press exaggerated it. It's just to my nose, you know. They want it
to be everything. Just the nose isn't enough. Elvis had his nose done- Lisa
Marie [Presley, to whom Jackson was married from May 1994 to January 1996]
told me. They don't talk about that. They single me out. It's not fair.

What is the harm in viewing Elvis with rose-tinted glasses? Why must everything
be the truth and real? Why do we have to know every last detail?
Hollywood is made up of fantasies. It has been successful for many years doing
just that. We all live with truth and reality, some of us like to get away from
it once in a while.

A good point. A few years ago, someone lent me the book 'The Death Of
Elvis'. One chapter describes the autopsy. I read it and it chilled me to
the bone. Surely it can't be morally right to intrude so on another's
private life just because we enjoy his music?
Elvis autopsy!!! How absolutely, fucking twisted and creepy! Do we need to
know all this stuff?
People are buying copies of the 'ambulance' footage, as it carries Elvis
through the gates of Graceland on that fateful night. Why?
People are discussing Elvis' bowel movements on the internet, and justifying
it because it is "the truth".
How twisted and perverse.

I read Bill Stanleys book, and thought that it was a little sad that he and
his brothers did not stay very involved with Lisa and Priscilla after Elvis
died. Billy loved Lisa. I wonder if Graceland takes care of those boys? Last
thing I heard about Billy was he was a race car driver, married with
daughters go BILLY. He had a tough time after Elvis died, not because Elvis
died, but. I don't read very much about Marty, what are you doing these

The first point that needs making is, anyone who buys or borrows a
book called "The Death Of Elvis" is going to be in for a shock if they
expect to be reading perhaps a fluffy document about his favourite
recipes.
>Elvis autopsy!!! How absolutely, fucking twisted and creepy! Do we need to
>know all this stuff?
Some people need to know it, in the way that people "need" to watch
the Zapruder footage, or (if you think about it) want to watch a film
based on the eventual death of several hundred folks on board the
Titanic. What makes these things acceptable is the passing of time,
and it's the reason why the forthcoming movie about Harold Shipman
(notorious British doctor who killed a stack of patients) is causing
so much controversy, coming so soon after the event.
And for the people who don't want to know about Elvis' autopsy, and
who want to only know about his music, then they can avoid all
references if they so wish.
>People are buying copies of the 'ambulance' footage, as it carries Elvis
>through the gates of Graceland on that fateful night. Why?
I have no idea, but equally I have no idea why people spend so much
time tracking down almost unwatchable footage from 1970's concerts.
Of course I do have an idea, and it's that fans make no distinction
between what is good and what is bad, and they only know that it's
Elvis. The possibility that something might be rare is also a draw.
Should someone come forward one day with CCTV footage of Elvis
dropping off the lavvy and going blue, I have no doubt at all that
somebody somewhere will bootleg it and it will become as equally
sought after.
>People are discussing Elvis' bowel movements on the internet, and justifying
>it because it is "the truth".
>How twisted and perverse.
>Surely I'm not the only one who feels uncomfortable about all this unhealthy
>fascination?
Like I said, it's no more perverse than sitting and watching John F
Kennedy get the side of his head blown off in slow motion colour. I
doubt if Jackie Onassis ever pulled up a chair, made herself a cup of
coffee and bit into a chocolate biscuit while viewing it on her large
screen TV, but to the rest of the world, with no personal involvement,
it's one of the more grotesquely fascinating documents of modern
times.
And Elvis is no different, almost a quarter of a century after his
death, than JFK. A public figure with an above averagely interesting
life (and death), about which folks love to speculate.
In the absence of a newsgroup called alt.elvis.bizarre, this is as
good a place as any to indulge ourselves in that speculation.
Richard
>>It was an analogy, that's all.<<
Speaking of which, did Elvis ever fish? If so, did he enjoy it? What did he
like to fish for and where? Did he go up to the edge of the water, strike a
"fisherman" pose, and wait for Charlie Hodge to insert a fishing pole into his
outstretched hands?
Did Joe Esposito ever sue any of the fish Elvis caught?
Really?
Ever see what George "The Ghoul" Klein looks like?
Presumably Dr. Parks worked on Klein's schnozzola either on a Friday or a
Monday, if ya get my drift.
Yet when Elvis went for his Army induction and boot camp haircut his hair was
again light brown, this AFTER filing "Loving You" with jet black hair. What
gives?
>Last thing I heard about Billy was he was a race car driver, married with
daughters <
Is he the toe-headed one who became a preacher after kicking his drug habit?
"He had no problem talking to us about the one in the 70's and I'm confident
that if he had one in '56 or '57 he would have told us."
Did Elvis ever talk about what he'd do if he lost his hair? The thouht must
have, in the back of his mind, really terrified him, judging by the times he
joked about it onstage.
>I have an advertising publishing and marketing company.<
People should read Marty's "Elvis, Portrait of a Friend" that I believe I
read in the early-1980s, in addition to "Elvis: New Revelations from the
Memphis Mafia" (my all-time fave Elvis-related book) to get to know more about
Marty, who has long been involved in the business side of the music industry.
Marty had a lot to do with the great Elvis "comeback" sound from the late-1960s
that we enjoy.
No, I never heard him say anything about it. he might have spoken to Larry
about it as Larry was his hairdresser for a few years.
Marty
He couldn't take his hair dresser with him. Do you know what kind of ribbing
he would have taken in 1958 by his army mates for dying his hair? He wouldn't
take the chance of being embarrassed that way.
Marty
He went deep sea fishing a couple of times in Biloxi in the 50's. Other than
that, I have no recollection of him ever fishing.
We did go to a small lake on numerous occassions and shoot snakes.

I think if Elvis did have a nose job somebody would have written a
book about it by now.
Sorry about the short comment, but I dont really care.
Rach.
Oh if anyone is interested I have had a couple of my teeth capped.
So, I'm not allowed to criticise anything I'm familiar with? What type of
screwed up logic is this?
If watched a public hanging, does that make me a supporter of the death
sentence? If I read the Bible, does that make me a Christian?. . .

Well I read it, because if I didn't, then what worth would my opinion be of
it? Got it? . . . . .hello?
> DON'T BE HYPOCRITICAL!
It's called making an informed decision. Had I have *written* the book, or
even *bought* (knowing of its contents) it, then I would be a hypocrite.
Now stop shouting, you'll bust a bloodvessel!

A little bit. If you observe a crime or a murder without notifying the police,
in some states in the US, they can arrest you too. So, does that make you a
supporter of the crime? The states seem to think so.

We all know it got a little ugly towards the end for Elvis. And we remain fans
in spite of it. So why must the gruesome end always get shoved down our throats
every time the topic of Elvis is discussed.
We're not ill informed, we just prefer other aspects of his career.
Yes, watching JFK's head being blown by a bullet is interesting when you're
discussing the conspiracy of his assassination. But certainly, you can discuss
his administration and his policy without always running this film clip.
So, why can't Elvis ever be discussed or documented without getting into the
before and after thing?

I know, what I was referring to was how his jet-black dyed hair appeared its
natural brown color at the Army induction haircut.
Presumably his hair had been dyed black all the way down to the roots. How,
then, did his Army crew-cut appear "dirty blonde" and not at all dark?

I've seen bestiality pictures, but I wouldn't fuck a goat!
Get some perspective here. I read it because it's a book about one of my

works.
I don't think Thomas Hardy's 'Return Of The Native' is as good as his 'Far
