This past September, I came across a YouTube clip featuring Elvis Presley performing one of my favorite songs, 'Lawdy Miss Clawdy' during his 1968 Comeback Special (officially titled 'Singer presents Elvis'). I've long been fascinated with the King and the video was an awesome reminder of why Elvis continues to fascinate so many years after his death.

An Elvis costume for Halloween is not unusual, but an Elvis costume depicting him when he's not overweight and draped in sequins and a cape is.

Putting the costume together was relatively easy and inexpensive. I found a black Forever 21 leather inferior jacket for $15, leather wrist bands for $8, a synthetic Elvis wig for kids $18 and leather pants from Perfect Touch in Tuscaloosa (most favorite store ever).

Without further adieu...
