The Elvis Collection: Pinups 1

I've got more scrapbooks and even a box of loose articles.  I'm still trying (and failing) to get that stuff finished and in order.  These were some loose pinup pictures in one of the scrapbooks.

Elvis on the cover of a trashy romance novel?  No, this was a pinup.  You can even see where these were tacked to the wall.

This was on the back of that pinup.  She's very cute.  Any ideas on who this is?  

This was on the back of one of the pictures.  I don't know who these guys are, but I love the picture.  It looks like a doo-wop group being interviewed by teen show host.

In the Army.

This one is pretty cool.

This is another longer article.  I'm sorry that this is all in pieces.  Mom never anticipated this being scanned into a computer.  This is the last of this scrapbook.

This was longer article in the scrapbook.  I have no idea why there was a missing strip on the first two pages.

This was on the back of the last page.  This is from a magazine called Rock and Roll Roundup.  I thought 50's fans might like this put in too.

Here's some more song lyrics.

Mom also listed her singles and albums, I think.  I'd have to check.  Should I scan those single covers?  Oh, I'd be afraid to move them and toss them on a scanner.  I didn't see anything with a Sun label when I took a peek at the record collection the other day, but there were a whole bunch of originals from the 50's.

These first two pages seem to be a high school report on Elvis.  It could be. 

"Wreted?"  Though my mom came from the Ozarks, I never heard her use that term.  Maybe it wasn't a report.

  

Mom posted a bunch of Elvis song lyrics in the scrapbook.

Movie ads and pictures.

Here's Elvis nicknamed, "The Cat."  I'd never seen this before looking through these albums.

Elvis in a newspaper contest.

Here he's referred to as, "The Kat."

 More magazine pictures and pinups.

Elvis liked motorcycles.  Looks like he's channeling Marlon Brando with this look.  He was a fan of his.
