Imitation Elsie visits Graceland again and leaves her mark on the graffiti wall outside
This is IE's SECOND visit to Graceland. She just loves ELVIS.
The first room seen on the tour is the white living room with the music room in the background. Oh yeah, and those peacock stained glass windows.
The blue curtain shrouds the upstairs. No one goes upstairs (except Lisa Marie of course!). 
After you walk through the dining room and kitchen you go downstairs and see the TV room fashionably decorated in bright yellow, royal blue, and white with mirrors everywhere. Elvis wanted to watch more than one channel at a time so he had three TVs installed. This room also includes a bar area.
Across the hall from the TV room is the pool room. The walls and ceiling are covered in fabric. Its very dark.
The jungle room awaits at the top of the stairs.
After you've seen the inside of Graceland you head to the office and then to the racquetball building. On the stairway leading to the court the intials EP greet you.
The court is transformed into an incredible display of records and quite a few of his costumes

After Tupelo, IE headed to Graceland Too in Holly Springs, MS
There's this interesting place in Holly Springs known as Graceland Too. The owner of this spectacular home is a very dedicated ELVIS fan. His museum is open 24 hours a day and admission is just $5. What a deal. Knock on the door and you can take a gander at all the stuff he's hoarded, uh, collected, over the last who-knows-how-many years.
Unfortunately he didn't answer the door when we visited. We waited a few minutes between loud bands on the black, spray-painted door. We asked the neighbors and were told he had visitors until late in the night. Maybe he was sleeping.
IE and the gang were very, very disappointed that they could not get into this place and have vowed to return again. IE plans on doing it with the next year at least.
He has a few cars in the side yard behind heavily fortified fencing.
Here's a short video shot walking along Graceland Too.

IE spends time at the coolest places and has so much fun. Here she is posing before the huge banner that greets you when you get to Tupelo.
This is the image found on the back of the t-shirts sold at the festival this year.

Imitation Elsie visits the birthplace of ELVIS - again!
This is one of the many floral memorials found in the modern chapel at the birthplace.
See that tiny speck on the corner of the porch? That's IE sitting there. This church was moved to the grounds.
Around the original home you will find markers with a note from various years. Imitation Elsie visits Birmingham
IE is in Birmingham, Ala-BAMA!
IE loved the variety she found at the Original Pancake House.
