Vigil Virgin

In Memphis we have this little thing called Elvis week. People come from all over the world to impersonate, celebrate, and mourn the death of the beloved American train wreck: Mr. Elvis Aaron Presley. The week of ridiculousness is capped off with a little thing his devoted fan club call "the Vigil". A fellow nanny friend of mine who has a great sense of humor and a love of that which is kitch, made us AMAZING shirts (mine said "vigil virgin" as it was my maiden voyage) and we spent 3 hours in line at Graceland inching towards Elvis' grave and watching the freak show unfold.
