STORY OF THE DAY - PARADISE

I could never live in Paradise, she said. I
don't look that good naked.
Oh dear! I'm afraid I'm ruled out, too. :-(

  1. Have no doubt that our heavenly selves are picked from the celestial equivalent of the plastic surgeon's specimen book.

    "I'll take that one".

    Heaven is perhaps like an Elvis impersonators' convention gone bezerk?

  2. My inner self is 27 years old. 'I'll take that one.'

  3. An Elvis impersonators' convention where everyone is naked is not my idea of paradise.

  4. Certainly not when they all seem to dress as the late-period, obese, drug-addled Elvis, Cathy. Why is that, I wonder? Best not speculate. Libel laws.

    I mentioned Elvis conventions because I was thinking of multiple souls choosing the form of one or another beautiful person fashionable at the time of their death. Eternity being what by definition it is, there would soon be billions of folks resembling a multitude of long-forgotten celebrities. Hypatia, anyone? Heliogabalus? Not that either of these will be up there, but you get my drift. Or might shape-shifting be the Heavenly order of the day?

    OK - more than enough for one evening.

  5. Actually, I've never thought Elvis particularly beautiful, even at his best.

  6. They do indeed seem to tend to dress as late Elvis, Lapin, and a good look it ain't.

    But I'm with Mimi, I never thought Elvis was all that beautiful either.

  7. Elvis was a dog, let's be frank! Now if my 19yr old self could be resurrected ...well, that's another thing.

    LOL.

    The greasy, slicked-back hair with the greasy lock hanging down on the forehead was not the thing in my circle at the time when Elvis rose to fame.
