Sixty-eight Reasons Why Elvis is the Ultimate Sex God - by Kim Adelman

Abstract: Female Elvis fans still get giddy seeing old clips of Elvis the Pelvis shaking it on the Milton Berle show. Several generations of women continue to sigh over Doctor Elvis exhibiting his sensitive side in the film "Change of Habit". And nothing makes girls melt like watching leather-clad Presley sweating up a storm in 1968. The sixty-eight reasons we're still knocked out by the King of Rock and Roll range from the obvious (number 2: the black leather comeback outfit) to the subtle (number 68: the man even looks sexy disguised as a girl in "Girl Happy"). Quite frankly, there are more than a million reasons why female fans still consider Elvis the ultimate sex god, but a girl's got to draw the line somewhere.

Elvis My Inspiration - by Annemarie Swarts

Abstract: In 2000 at the age of 42, I heard Elvis' music for the first time in my life. The impact was such that I became an instant fan, then collector and eventually the president of the Official EPFC of Africa. Elvis is my passion, my hobby and my inspiration. He represents the best and worst I can be. Through him I came to appreciate different kinds of music and entertainers. He taught me about the infinite possibilities that lies within each one of us. I learned to judge slowly, because I have only walked in my own shoes. Elvis made a huge impact on the world at large, but the biggest impact was on a personal level. Every fan feel blessed by being able to either have seen him, talked to him or heard his music. The voice and the man behind the image touch each one of us on an emotional level and we are never the same again. Elvis leaves us better than he finds us.
