it’s good when people say no to you, and other lessons from elvis
Talk about paradox of choice… I have so many idiotic pictures of myself in Memphis, it’s hard to decide which one to share.
Here I am standing on the spot (note the “x”) where Elvis cut his first album at Sun Studios.
(Okay, I’m almost standing on the spot.)
That’s where I heard my favorite Elvis Theory (every fan has one), from our adorable tour guide. She explained that there are two kinds of people in this world: those who love Elvis, and those who just haven’t heard enough of his music.

Elvis was styyyyylin!!!
I feel all disco just looking at this amazing lounge. It makes me want to put on my finest pantsuit, make myself a mimosa, and dance on the carpet while Elvis jams on the piano.
I’m not sure what I like better: the stained glass peacocks or the 14-foot party couch??? The best detail, however, is sadly outside the frame, on the right wall. It’s an oil painting of Elvis’s father, Vernon Presley, which Vernon gave Elvis as a gift. I’d love if my dad commissioned a portrait of himself and gave it to me.
But I think the real point is: we all have a lot to learn from the Presleys.

Wise words from Elvis’s father at Graceland. (Also: if you’re making a sign for your office door today, some great ideas in here.)
