WAFFLES: BOSS! How do you like my Elvis costume? Since the BlogPaws conference is in Nashville this year, Glogirly's making me an Elvis costume! What do you think???
KATIE: Uh, Waffles... that's not a real costume. That's a Photoshopped costume.
WAFFLES: What do you mean? But I have a microphone and everything.
KATIE: Photoshop. Photoshop. Photoshop. But it is true that Glogirly's making you an Elvis costume for the conference. At least she's trying to. You should know... she's WAY better with a computer than she is with a needle and thread.
WAFFLES: What the hello kitty is THIS?
KATIE: Settle down. It's just a first try at the collar. She's got to adjust the shape. Eventually it will have jewels and studs and rhinestones and –
WAFFLES: I don't look like Elvis. I look like Dracula.
KATIE: I was actually thinking the Flying Nun.
WAFFLES: Oh, man. This is SO not Elvis.
KATIE: Well Waffles, at least she's not planning on making you wear sideburns.
It's true. Glogirly is attempting to make an Elvis costume for Waffles. She wants to make a collar and cape that attach to his harness and then embellish it all with a bunch of crystals, studs and rhinestones.After the first attempt at the collar went all Dracula on her, she made some adjustments to the shape and fold. It's a little closer. But she's got a LONG way to go.
As a back up, she's been Googling up a storm trying to find something that's already made or can be custom made. If you happen to know someone who might be up to the task, someone we can hire, please let us know. Maybe we can put her out of her misery.
She still has a few weeks to get the costume together. Mom Paula can't wait to see it in person.

ReplyDeletePoor WafElvis. I so want pictures. Lots and lots of pictures.
ReplyDeleteack phone died. Finally step fold over the edge and pin so that the raw edge of the cape is under the collar. Pin and sew. I see I may have to do a video for it to make a lot of sense.
ReplyDeleteOr if you need me to I can do the collar n cape and send it to you to embellish :)
I bet you're gonna make a pawsome Elvis!
ReplyDeleteWow, my human is planning to slap a cowboy hat on me and call it a day. I should step up my game!
ReplyDeleteI sort of worry about positing this out, but....Elvis is from Memphis, not Nashville. Although they are both in Tennessee. Nashville is more Grand Ol Opry as opposed to Rock-n-Roll. Maybe a bit of Hank Williams, Johnny Cash or my purrsonal fave, Minnie Pearl, would be more fitting? Waffie Pearl would be too cute in his straw hat with the tag hanging down?
ReplyDeletePlease post pics of your progress! Waffles will make a great Elvis!
ReplyDeleteLol hysterically! Waffles pal your facial expressions are too much! M Wants to know if you went to acting school?
ReplyDeleteWaffles, you are so handsome as you are, you don't need a costume. I'd be willing to bet that you'd be happier with a photoshopped costume...
ReplyDeleteMum would so much live near Glogirly ! She loves sewing, and could easily help her, but she sadly doesn't fit in our teleportation tunnel... Purrs
ReplyDeleteIs Katie going to be Lisa Marie?

ReplyDeleteAre you gonna switch from chicken to peanut butter and banana sammiches now, Waffles?

ReplyDeletePease show us the final thing when it is finished!

ReplyDeleteღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
Talk with Coco the couture Cats Mom....she gets all sorts of fancy clothes. We bet her tailor could help!
ReplyDeleteThere are a couple on eBay..You are the cutest Elvis I have ever seen Waffles..
ReplyDeleteWaffles, Glogirly might want to ask Ellen Pilch from 15andmeowing for help in this. She is very crafty and is always making things! The Mom is jealous cause hers is not good with crafty things herself, MOL.
ReplyDeleteWaffles you are going to make a great Elvis. If Katie is going she could be Priscilla.
ReplyDeleteSue B
At least you ain't a hound dog Waffles!
ReplyDeleteWaffles we can wait to see LOVE ME TENDER Elvis outfit!
ReplyDeleteWe think once the rhinestone and sparkle is on, it will look very Elvis and not Dracula (or Flying Nun). It was all about the bling for Elvis... and maybe for W too!
ReplyDeleteDracula ... MOL! You'll be a great Elvis, Waffles! :)
ReplyDeleteMOL MOL MOL!! That's really all I can say!! Welvis has left the building MOL!!!
ReplyDeleteYou will make a great Elvis, Waffles.
ReplyDeleteThere had better be pictures and video galore of this event!!!
ReplyDeleteWe reeeeeeeally wanna see Katie as Minnie Pearl!!!
ReplyDeleteAt least you have a start on your Halloween costume.
ReplyDeleteYou shake us up all the time.
ReplyDeleteI'm all shook up with laughter!!!! My mom adores Elvis! Waffles you will be an awesome Elvis impersonator!
ReplyDeleteThis should indeed be a sight to see at BlogPaws. We know Glogirly with her imagination and creativity is up to the task. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
