Crazy?
I'm reading the new Elvis biog by Graeme Thomson and listening to the albums as I read about them. I'm also listening to the bonus cd's and all bootlegs relating to the period i'm reading about. The trouble is that everytime i read 20 pages i have about 5 hours worth of music to listen to. I hope to finish the book before the year is out!

Now that was pretty well-said. Thank you. I'll have to remember that next time somebody asks me to explain myself regarding that...MegJS wrote:oh and I wanted to say a few words about his sexual attractiveness
He is attractive for me - but not in spite of his receding hair, short height, pasty thighs and rolls of fat bulging from his suit - I love him for that too. Cos it's natural and I love him as he is. I don't separate his songs and his voice from his fat, he's natural and charming and attractive....
and not that fat by the way
Wow, you ladies are flipping me out. I was always questioned as to why I thought EC is so sexy and why would I be attracted to him.
It was like, WHAT?
Hey, I don't care what anyone thinks. He's sooooo sexy.
BLAAAAHHH!!
It's not just that, it's the whole package. I don't think men look at it the same way woman do. Men are extremely visual. They don't give a crap if you look like a Victoria's Secret model and sound like a moron when you open your mouth.

You are so right...a big and solid ass is quite alright as long as the rest of the woman is in good shapeSweetPear wrote:Cope~ I have to say, there are certain cultures of men who appreciate a curvy, voluptuous woman and African American men are one of them.
BUT, it's one thing to have a nice, round booty, it's another to be a big girl all over.
The more cushion, the more pushin'.

Whoa! I must have been too busy to have seen this thread for a few days. I have some comments.
I think Elvis is sexy as well. And it IS the whole package. I do think that is the way most women see men though.
As for curvy women, well, I have many generations of curvy women ahead of me, so a flat, thin shape was never in the cards for me. Having said that, I do get hit on by a lot of African American men. They don't mind telling you that they like the way you look.
Boy, this thread keeps straying. . . . . . . .

The Voice
You are right about that, Spooky. Notice it's the men that don't think he's sexy...
Anyway...the attractiveness... don't you think it all stems from his voice? Such a rich full baritone...packed with emotion. Sometimes smooth and deep.... at times rough and raw...but always captivating. Mesmerizing at times...for me.
I was listening to EC in the car the other day, with a friend who's is not a fan (how could that be?...you know, that she could be my friend...!) And she said: "Wow...what a sexy voice, who is that?"
I said: "That's Elvis Costello...and he IS the sexiest man on earth...other than my husband, of course"!

As a slightly pudgy, short, balding guy, I may not understand the ladies' physical attraction to EC, but I will defend to the death your right to express it!

I prefer to think of myself as appropriately sized and haired for this era of realistic expectations.

Sexy dog
Elvis has always managed to have "presence". He doesn't have the sexiness that would make me want to fuck him on the spot, but when he's onstage doing his thing he is very much "a man".
I'm mostly hertero. I don't want to do anything with a penis. If Elvis asked me to, though, I'd have to say, sure, please, but just don't break my heart there hero...

I'm hearing ya, Rope. It's kind of the same for me......I said kind of. (I just don't have your aversion to doing anything with a penis..... )
But attractive and sexy as I think EC is to me, I can't ever imagine him standing there in his knickers......ever!
(There's a thread.....what do you imagine the man to look like under those jackets and ties?)

That's nothin'! Last week, an 80-year-old man asked me to spank him! He made no comment about my ass, but you could tell what he was thinkin'.spooky girlfriend wrote: I do get hit on by a lot of African American men. They don't mind telling you that they like the way you look.
It's a radiation vibe I'm groovin' on

G2S, you do have the most interesting friends!
I've been driving my husband's 1986 Ford F-150 (old rope could show you a photo), and I've been getting the nods and two fingered waves from Good Ole Boys of all ages. It's a boost to my ego, which needs all the boosting it can get, as do most of my elderly body parts.

Like me, the "g" is silent.

Auto-erotica
We'll never see Elvis dressed up like David Lee Roth, or Micheal Jackson, or Prince, or George Clinton. He's just not a child.
I watched the movie Wattstax a couple weeks ago. It's about a concert that was held in Watts, CA in the early '70s to commemorate the Watts riots of the '60s. All kinds of funk...I don't know who this one guy was, but he was wearing a halter top, tight shiny pants, tons of gold chain, and a huge white afro-natural. He started up the band by stepping to the mic and saying some "real heavy shit". It was like, "Hey, I'm dressed up like Big Bird but, please, take me seriously!"
As for Elvis underwear, I'd be very disappointed if they were anything less than silk.
Mood - You might be surprised at the looks I get in my 1970 F-250. It's kind of junky, but it still makes folks smile. (A nice set of wheels might get me some strange...)

Didnt he once give a pair of his underwear to David Letterman (a la Madonna)? If memory serves they were black jockeys ...
Not that Id know about such things ...
I dont see how it could be any other way.

Ive just always figured that, should that most unlikely of things ever occur, Elvis could only break my heart. He would break my heart and write a song about the pieces.a rope leash wrote:If Elvis asked me to, though, I'd have to say, sure, please, but just don't break my heart there hero...

A worthy goal...
Wouldn't it be great to have your heart broken by Elvis Costello, and for him to write a song about it?
How odd it is for a man like me to be having such a fantasy.
I could write a tell-all book about it.
Or, who knows? Maybe it could work out. We could move to Vermont.
We could perform a duet at our ceremony!
There's no doubt he's the man.

All we've done is bitch about women our whole lives, anyway...
