Back in 1958, Elvis Presley joined the military and sat down in the barber’s chair, like so many other would be soldiers, and said good bye to his lovely locks. Well, some totally creepy, but undeniably intelligent individual picked up the clump that fell to the floor and has auctioned it off in Chicago. How much did it fetch??
$18,300!!! Crazy right?!
At the same auction, that included roughly 200 items, one of Presley’s monogrammed, cream, cotton shirts went for $62,800 when it was only expected to bring in $2000-$4000.
I get the shirt – I really do. That can go into a frame and be hung on the wall to admire. But the hair?! What the hell are you going to do with a pile of nasty 50-year-old hair?!?! I have visions of some 50-something widower gluing it to his head before grabbing a bottle of Wild Turkey and heading out to “make an impression” on the ladies of the trailer court.
I’m so grossed out right now!
