It’s no wonder, why Lisa Marie Presley is a little bit reclusive. A lock of her dad, Elvis Presley‘s hair just sold for $18,300. I think that people should give anyone’s hair back to their family after they die. So this is nuts.
Being raised a Maori in beautiful New Zealand, taught me that chief’s remains go back to their family. It’s culturally correct. Not so in America though as fame supersedes all rationale. Especially with Elvis fans, who go insane for a piece of an American King’s cultural legacy, as this news item shows today.
Over 150 items that once belonged to Gary Pepper, former president of the Elvis Presley fan club went on the auction block at Chicago’s Leslie Hindman auctioneers.
The lock of the King of Rock N Roll’s hair, was believed to have been cut off his head when he was conscripted into the army.
A red ultra-suede tee worn once by Presley, sold for $34,000. And we wonder why the Jackson family are a very private family too. That’s insane!
Meanwhile, Lisa Marie Presley, debuted Elvis’ twin granddaughters Harper and Findlay to the world, via Hello Magazine. Cute. Lisa Marie knew the papparazi would try and get the pics anyway.
I like how she rolls, while her eldest son, Benjamin Presley is following in grandad Elvis’ footsteps as a rocker. She’s a good mom.
