Lay Hands On The Perfect Elvis Costume To Suit The Occasion
Wednesday, March 10th, 2010 | Uncategorized
Every year my sister-n-law dresses her family in costumes for their annual family picture. Each time I believe that she has come up with the funniest dresses idea ever, she comes up with something even funnier. Her folks is terribly patient with her because they know how vital the family portrait is to her.
This last year, she dressed everybody up as Elvis Presley. Not everybody can find a good Elvis costume at a fair price, but my sister-in-law managed to find costumes for each one of her kids. She has three boys and a girl on the way.
Naturally, the baby-to-be didnot have an Elvis costume, but I wouldn’t be denied if my sister-in-law has one made for her girl as a newly born baby present. My nephews range in age from 2 years to 13 years old. The thirteen years of age was the most patient with his ma. He spent a pair afternoons purchasing an Elvis costume that would fit him. He let her slick back his hair into an oily 50′s style that would make him the gag of his class. He even struck a great Presley pose for the camera. My oldest nephew was a genuine sport for this picture. The two-year-old was a different story. Though my sister-in-law was capable of finding a baby Elvis costume that fit my two-year-old nephew completely, he didnot need to cooperate. He didn’t have enough hair, so they tried employing a wig.
Two the photos were wonderful, except the littlest boy was pulling his wig off his head. Iam not sure how often it took to get the picture right. My middle nephew was six when the pictures were taken. We were shocked to find that they couldn’t find an Elvis costume in his size. My sister-in-law doesn’t give up simply. She made one for him and she probably did it so well, that we couldn’t tell that this was a home made costume. The six-year-old did his best to make a great Presley face for the camera. After each member of the family was dressed in his Elvis costume, my job was to snap the ideal family portrait. This job was much more robust than making the costumes, especially with the tiny nephew pulling his wig off each two seconds. But after about 15 mins of wasting space on the electronic camera, we received the best shot of the 5 Elvis Presleys.
