I made an impulse buy of a $30 Elvis suit 3 weeks before leaving Australia in Jan 2008 to travel for a year.
It's crap....and now it's coming with me.
I don't sound like Elvis, look like Elvis, or sing like Elvis.
I am Crap Elvis.

The suit came flatpacked - Crap Elvis in Sweden

With the wig hastily assembled with an allen key, I arrived in Stockholm, Sweden last night. This morning the King returned to the palace to have a look at the changing of the guard...





Swedish pedestrian crossing. Stupid pedestrian not crossing.
At the Stureplan - Stockholm's most famous square...which is actually triangular.



Changing of the guard. Even more heavliy planned - the changing of the elvis suit without getting arrested.



The Swedish army attempted to thwart this photo with their mini Surface to Armpit missile launcher.



Swedish guard had just come from his part-time clowning job.

How it started....

So there I was in Aussie cheapo shop Spotlight buying a wig for our farewell party before we headed off round the world for a year. And then I saw it. An Elvis suit for $29.99. Who could resist at that price? I certainly didn't.

Actually I should point out that the suit isn't officially an Elvis suit - the store called it a "Rocker" outfit, but I guess in the budget-conscious-elvis-suit market, naming royalties are an unecessary expense.

I further armed myself with a $10 "Greaser" wig (yep, royalties avoided again), and put together with the glasses I already had at home, I now own the crappiest Elvis suit in the world.

On taking it home, it was pointed out that maybe it was a complete waste of money, seeing as I'd just quit work to travel for a year...
BUT NOT IF IT COMES WITH US!!!!
