Elvis Presley memorabilia in Miami

The Cultist blog provides some close-up shots of some of Elvis's most personal belongings that made their way to Miami. The memorabilia is part of a new Graceland exhibit that I wrote about before. With such large photos showing so much detail, it's almost like making it to the show.

Elvis Presley can be followed by any noun. 'Car show' today.

It's true: search for "Elvis Presley" plus anything else, and you'll no doubt get a King of Rock n' Roll angle on any aspect of cultural life. A car show isn't so exotic, but one's coming up June 1 and 2 at Graceland, so timeliness wins the contest today.

About those new details of Elvis Presley's life in 'Through His Daughters Eyes' Graceland exhibit

CNN's video goes over a few of the factoids revealed in a new Graceland exhibit, "Through His Daughters Eyes.". But who has time to wait for a medium you can't scan? Here are the new artifacts of the Presley mythology that are revealed:

1. A little white jacket that belonged to Lisa Marie caused some controversy about wearing animals. Or not. Something about the fur being fake or real. The guy describing it is not clear, and the reporter doesn't try to get him to clarify.
2. Baby footprints of Lisa Marie.
3. Elvis's wallet. What does the King of Rock n' Roll keep in there? Same stuff as all of us. He is not a god! Or gods are just as human as us. Right, in the wallet: a picture of Lisa Marie. A BankAmericard. An insurance card.
4. The gold belt that was worn in "Elvis on Tour." Elvis also wore this belt in a photograph with Richard Nixon.
5. A white shoe of Elvis's next to a white shoe of Justin Timberlake's. See the connection? Shoes. White.
6. Elvis's custom-made, handle-able-by-gloves-only gold sunglasses. "TCB," for "Taking Care of Business," is inscribed on the side of the glasses. Katie Perry's Elvis-inspired sunglasses that she wore on an American Idol appearance.
7. Bruce Springstein's jacket. This is featured because he was described as a big ol' Elvis fan and the most famous wall jumper at Graceland. He did that deed in 1976.
