This dance costume, constructed over a leotard of flesh-colored fabric with a fitted strapless bodice decorated with stripes comprised of white bugle beads, with a long flowing beaded skirt, was designed by Edith Head for Juliet Prowse’s Lili in the 1960 Elvis film 𝑮.𝑰. 𝑩𝒍𝒖𝒆𝒔.   The gown made a very brief appearance in the 1971 film 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑮𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒐𝒎 𝑮𝒂𝒏𝒈, where it was worn by Connie Stevens as Anna Borg.   This costume, owned by Larry McQueen of The Collection of Motion Picture Costume Design, has been on display several times over the years, including the Oklahoma City Museum of Art’s exhibition Edith Head: Hollywood’s Costume Designer.   Find out more by visiting our website.

Happy Memorial Day. Elvis Presley in G.I. Blues (1960). Elvis served in the United States Army between March 1958 and March 1960 in West Germany. Presley returned to the U.S. in March 1960 and began work on the film G.I. Blues in late April. At the time of his draft he was the most well-known name in the world of entertainment. When he was stationed in West Germany, he met his future wife Priscilla Beaulieu and became dependent on stimulants and barbiturates. This unhealthy addiction eventually led to his divorce, and ultimately his death at age 42 in 1977. #elvispresley #giblues #memorialday2018 #armyveteran #elvispresleyforever #paramountpictures #musicalfilm #normantaurog #kingofrockandroll (at Paramount Studios)

G.I. BLUES | Today is Memorial Day. As we remember fallen soldiers and give thanks to those that served and currently serve our country, let's not dismiss the efforts of those whose US military service has been outshined by their more illustrious careers. Elvis Presley needs no introduction. His voice, his hips, and his snarling lips are not only indelible from pop culture, but continuously help to define it generation after generation. G.I. Blues (originally called Christmas in Berlin) is a film from 1960 that stars Elvis as a soldier stationed in West Germany. What many don't realize is that Elvis actually was stationed in Germany and had essentially put his career on hold from 1958 through 1960 to serve his country in the US Army, where he'd eventually made it up the ranks to sergeant. Some footage used in the film was actually shot in Germany, however none of it includes Elvis himself. QUICK FACTS: While serving Elvis had donated all of his army pay to charity, had begun to study karate (which we all know from his '70s stage persona), and had also met Priscilla while in Germany. Long live The King.
