Icon: Priscilla Presley


I've always been much more interested in Priscilla than Elvis.

She gets my vote for best 60s hair!

    i am so insanely jealous of her hair...
    it adds at least 7 inches to her height!

    Love 60's Priscilla's glam-trash look. Sad what happened to her face.

    Jane - Same here! Whenever I tease up my hair, I always aspire to Priscilla-esque height.

    TJB - Haha I know right?!

    Me too! I just loved her and her hair and eye makeup. Tura Satana told me that Elvis modelled 'Cilla's do on hers - and if you look at Cilla's early pix - they're uncannily Tura-esque.

    She was such a fantastically beautiful woman and I agree about her hair- it's amazing! I wonder how she got it quite so tall and got it to stay up there.

    Donna Lethal - I can definitely see the resemblance! I read Tura's account of her relationship with Elvis in the Pamela Des Barres book Let's Spend The Night Together. Very interesting indeed!

    laurakitty - I know right?! Her hair defied the law of gravity! I'm guessing she used a lot of heavy duty hairspray.

    I just watched a bbc doc about her and elvis, she's my new style icon - how the hell did she keep her hair looking so healthy and shiny with all that backcombing?

    I love how most of these are polaroids or candid photos-- Priscilla Presley didn't just look like that for the media; she looked like that EVERY DAY. Beautiful girl with truly tops style. Great post!
