Thanks Grace. I'm not really an Elvis fan, but I have a sincere appreciation of who he was. My mother and aunt were fans though. What I remember is their excitement, which was a very positive thing for me.
Drinne: Could be. Perhaps someone will commission him too.
Melissa: Last night I watched The Prophesy. Seen it before, but was inspired by certain aspects. So, sigh, I reached for notebook and pen. Still, I WAS on the sofa.
Always referred to him in that phase of his career as Velvis - either for Vegas Elvis or Velvet Elvis (would the plural be Velvii? My Latin was 30+ years ago...)

Do you mean the 1995 Christopher Walken film, or the 1979 giant-mutated-bear film? Both are interesting, in their own way...
I've been on a Japanese samurai movie kick recently, mostly as an excuse to re-watch Yojimbo, one of my top three movies.
David: The 1995 film about the war in heaven. I've been thinking about this lately, this theme that comes up in many religious and horror films. I talked about it in Dark Dreamers (Beth Gwin/Stanley Wiater). There comes a moment when one (the protagonist) is forced to put aside his/her beliefs and accept something different. That moment of letting go can be the true heart of horror, or an epiphany.
I also decided, watching it, that the only concept of Hell that works for me even remotely would be a temporary one---like a jail sentence, only even less pleasant.
I have way too much fun making custom Poppets. Thanks, Wendy!!!

It's not just Elvis (inspired) Poppet, it's Vegas Elvis (inspired) Poppet. That really is far too cool for words. Love it.
OMG does that mean that there could be a Jailhouse Rock Poppet Elvis! That would be awsome.
Amazing! Hope you're enjoying some sofa time this weekend.

Way too cute.
You have to insist that the recipient quotes the the "thank you...thank you very much" line!
