You go to Sonoma County. You are going to take your lady or fella out to a nice lunch, a little R & R, perhaps a drink at the Hotel Healdsburg, a massage, some book shopping, coffee drinking, wine, antiques, and then you get to the Elvis Presley section (yes, section, as in a whole area) of said antique store and your whole world flips upside down and around because you realize not only sheer amount of Elvis  crap/gold that was made in the various body weight eras of the King of Rock n' Roll, but the sheer amount of Elvis crap/gold that you may actually want to buy.  

And this is just the start... antique stores provide most Americans with the ability to see how much waste we can pawn off to others as treasures. Like Star Trek plates, and Eagles' albums,  and Elvis lamps, and old Playboys, and on and on. Its magical really. 

 

For your... um... bookcase?

 

3D Elvis Wall Art? Won't lie, if McFarlane Toys makes it, probably dope.

 

Its a little blury, but black leather suit Elvis was the best Elvis. 

 

You can put this next to your Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee plate you bought from QVC. Don't lie, you have one. 

 

Four greats. Elvis, RFK, T-Jeff, and Abe. I had to place the RFK bust there to get the full impact of my vision.

 

I can just see the dude in the factory somewhere in China laughing his head off on the crap he makes for Americans to purchase. (Editor's note: I looked at the back of this plate, and yes, it was made in China. This was not a stereotype used for effect, it was confirmed on site.)

 

 That is a hair net, right?

 

For all seasons.

 

Isn't everything related to Elvis collectibles? Notice Fat Elvis era has been made skinny... 

 

 Bought this. 

 

This is just so good I can't even type.

 

Here is a rant, not needed, but a rant nonetheless. Why do people still care about Donny and Marie Osmond. They are awful. For decades, we have had to see their faces and hear about this family on TV, in magazines, etc etc etc, and they just annoy me to no end. I am going to use this word: talentless. They appeal to simple-mindedness... they irk me. But this thermos is SICK.

And the Bee-Gees, thermos... I would have my chicken noodle soup in that thing every day all day. 

 

Shameless plug. Just bought these Converse x Fragment Design Chuck Taylor trainers, and I love them. Simple, blue, nice accents, beautiful.
