Housewife in Hollywood - housewifeinhollywood.com

Elvis had me all shook up since the first time I put on my mom’s 33 of Blue Hawaii. I used to Rock a Hula all over my bedroom.

I’d lip sync and hip shake my way through every Elvis album my mom owned.

I was thrilled when she bought me my very own Elvis album, Elvis Sings for Children and Grown-ups Too.

 I played that record over and over. I cried while he sang about his dog Old Shep and I danced with my stuffed animals to Cotton Candy Land & Wooden Heart.

One day I came home from school and my mom was dusting the furniture in my bedroom with a very solemn look on her face. I asked her what was wrong and she said, “Elvis is dead.”

I found my favorite album and played Old Shep over and over. I wasn’t in a Rock a Hula mood that day. What about you? What’s your favorite Elvis album?
