Hi! First of all, I love ur blog it’s one of my favourites and I really appreciate your nuanced takes and the research you put in to your answers. :)

I wanted to ask you — I read today that EPE didn’t allow Sofia Coppola to use any of Elvis’ music in her movie. I figured he wouldn’t be depicted very positively in it but I kinda hoped it would be a realistic and human depiction of both of them, not like sort of a condemning ‘he’s the villain of their story’ vibe lol. I guess we still won’t know until it comes out… Anyway it got me feeling like perhaps the depiction will be more negative, but maybe EPE just didn’t consent to his music being used because they weren’t included in the movie. Hard to know. Wanted to ask for your thoughts/take on it.

Also, what do you think Lisa would think about this movie being made?

this just made my day 😭, you are the sweetest <3!! I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to show your appreciation, it truly means the world to me that you get something positive out of my posts

also thank you very much for the ask, I really love to be able to have open discussions on here with fellow Elvis fans, especially regarding all the recent events that are taking place 🤧

as for your question, according to the latest interview with Sofia Coppola and Priscilla Presley, it was “Authentic Brands Group” (who owns 85% of EPE) that denied the request to have Elvis’ music featured in the film. As Sofia tells it, it was because ABG only endorse projects that they have originated as they are protective of their brand ⬇️

(quote from the “Hollywood Reporter”)

so I don’t think Elvis’ music not being in the film is indicative of how he will be portrayed, the decision seems more business based than anything else (hopefully 😭). I’m also wondering if this was a funding issue as this film doesn’t seem to have had the biggest budget (they only had 30 days to shoot) and I would assume the rights to use Elvis’ music would be rather costly 👀

as for how Elvis will be depicted… I think I speak for many other fans when I say when this movie was first announced my heart sank 🤧 the 2022 film accomplished so many amazing things for Elvis and his legacy and I think we all felt like this Priscilla movie would jeopardize that. But this recent interview with Priscilla, along with the film’s official synopsis, has given me more hope that this movie will be more nuanced

Priscilla telling Cailee Spaeny, the actress portraying her, to be sensitive towards Elvis honestly made me breathe a sigh of relief 😩

(quote from the “Hollywood Reporter”)

But I think the reason so many fans are still currently dreading this film and biting their nails over the release of it is because of the reception it has received online… particularly by non-Elvis fans

if you have Instagram or Twitter (especially) you know what I mean 😭

people are literally praising Sofia Coppola (even Priscilla) because they think this film is going to be a hit piece against Elvis and will expose how he “groomed” and “abused” her

I can almost guarantee these people and anyone else who have made similar comments have never even read Priscilla’s book, or have ever read about Elvis besides what they see on social media through things like twitter threads on how he was a “predator” or how he “stole” music from black musicians

their dedication to believing whatever they see written about him just proves their ignorance to me. If they haven’t taken the time to research the claims made about him then I just disregard their opinion🤧 I’ve really struggled with disengaging from people who hate Elvis but I’ve begun to learn that nothing we say as fans will change their opinion of him, and no matter what they say, it cannot change who we know he really was

and whenever I do see these people reference Priscilla’s book I’m like… did we read the same book? did y’all not see how 90-95% percent of that book praised who Elvis was? and do y’all not see how Priscilla still defends his actions to this day and says things like “he was the love of my life”? I’m just confused as to why these people think Priscilla wants Elvis to be “exposed” 😭

and like the majority of people who have written about Elvis, Priscilla’s book has the good, the bad, and the ugly, and I expect the film to be that way as well. However, I hope the good completely outweighs “the bad” and “the ugly” just as much as it did in Priscilla’s book

People always hyper-inflate the “bad” stories (of which there are very few) that are mentioned in Priscilla’s book. For example the story where when they were pillow fighting he accidentally gave her a black eye, which is also referenced now as proof that he “abused” her. But they won’t mention how Elvis profusely apologized and felt incredibly guilty, nor do they mention how Priscilla blamed the pills they were taking for Elvis’ temper in that moment, as opposed to Elvis himself

(excerpt from “Elvis and Me” by Priscilla Presley)

I feel like a lot of anger has been misdirected towards Priscilla lately regarding stories like this but in all honesty you cannot blame her for people taking what she wrote out of context. I’ve seen some fans say that she is only out to make Elvis look bad but she very clearly states he was remorseful for the incident

Like I mentioned above, I think 90-95% of her book puts Elvis in a good light, and shows how truly good his character was

One of my personal favorite stories is the lasagna incident, where Priscilla insisted on cooking for the whole group and in her nerves for proving that she could do such a thing, she forgot to boil the noodles before assembling the dish 💀

and this story is just one out of dozens that show how sensitive Elvis was to Priscilla

(excerpt from “Elvis and Me” by Priscilla Presley)

not to mention the very last paragraph of her book where she has nothing but good things to say about him… yet people who hate Elvis think this film, that is based on her book, will be out to “expose” him 😩?

(excerpt from “Elvis and Me” by Priscilla Presley)

obviously we can only really speculate on what the film will be like but I’m just hoping and praying this film will be a massive disappointment to anyone who is thinking it will affirm their opinions about how Elvis “mistreated” Priscilla… that would heal my soul 😩 like if this film is just a total love letter to Elvis I will be laughing my way out of the theater lmaoo

at this point the only reason I’m not excited about this film is just because I don’t think it was done in a way that would reach it’s full potential. That recent review of it that came out of Reddit was kind of what I expected the film to be (lackluster, lacking depth and Jacob not really capturing Elvis’ essence… Coppola’s reasoning for casting Jacob was that since all the females in the audition room were enamored by him he must have had a similar charisma to Elvis but I just do not get that vibe😭 (no offense to Jacob stans)

as for what Lisa Marie would have thought of this film being made, I’d imagine she would act in a similar way to how Riley is. Supportive but not involved perhaps? This film is really Priscilla’s story. Not Elvis’ story, not Lisa Marie’s story etc. etc. so I don’t expect as many people in the Elvis world to be involved with it as they were with the 2022 film. Like I don’t expect to see Jerry Schilling doing interviews for this movie or girlfriend’s/friends of Elvis to give their review of it

I really really wish Lisa Marie was here, I miss her terribly and I still haven’t fully processed her passing, but I believe that Riley is doing everything her mother would have wanted, and I wish the best for her and her sisters 💗

Sun in Libra ♎️💨 Moon in Virgo ♍️🌎

The Moon makes its way from Leo into Virgo as we get our morning going which is good for a workday, shifting into a more detail oriented and focused vibe.

The Moon in Virgo will meet up with Venus in Virgo and they will together oppose Saturn in Pisces. This energy is anxious and creates overthinking especially about how we see ourselves in the long run. There’s a quote by The Buddha that says, “The mind is everything. What you think you will become.” This quote really applies today so be aware of your thoughts today.

A good reason as to why it’s a good idea to have good thoughts as we go forward is because after five very long months, Pluto ends its retrograde in Capricorn today. We’ll be less inclined to bury our deepest hopes and desires. But Pluto is still Pluto, the planet of death and rebirth. Now in forward motion in Capricorn, it has us confronting the darkest parts of ourselves that tell us we can’t and turns it into direct focus towards our potential. This shift could feel really intense for a lot of us so again, focus on the I can and less on the I can’t. This is the rebirth part of Pluto’s energies that reflects on the shadow work done in the past, closing out yet another cycle right before eclipse season.

We are what we believe we are. We create our reality. Take that with you today. All the knowledge you’ve gained isn’t for nothing. ☮️💚✨

Johnny🗣Professor

Shannon: Well we're back and on this one I gotta hand it to you and who you're reppin today the Professor. It seemed my homie Johnny had a shot, but came up short in some ket spots.

Skip:

Shannon: Now dont disrespect the man now. He put up a good fight, it just wasn't enough. That was very disrespectful. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Skip: When you're right, you're right. Let me first apologize to Johnny and you, that was a bit over the line. When you break it down *gesture air quotes* on paper, it would have seem Johnny had the Professor beaten...at least initially. I mean the play for Giants defense against a horrid Chicago offense was astute. I like the push of younger guys like Olave down in New Orleans and Greg Wilson who you could argue is the number one on a bad but maybe ascending Jets team -

*This is where Skip keeps talking run on sentences flailing his arms furiously. So furiously that his clothes fall off him cartoonists and he tumbles to the floor*

Shannon:

Shannon: Ok Skip. In all seriousness, are you ok? Just wanna make sure.

Skip: I'm okay. I'm alright. Truly.

*Production staff help Skip to his seat and he puts his clothes back on*

Shannon: Lets just get through the nuts and bolts cuz you took a big stumble.

Skip: Yes let's do it (nodding in shame).

Shannon: I see going on your rant about Professor team, he got these young guys but the difference maker truly was Jefferson in that early London game. Homeboy went off.

Skip: Definitely a bounce back performance.

Shannon: Right. And Johnny being too cautious didnt play Godwin, nor Williams who really has been on a roll but nonetheless, he gambled on D.Smith with dem Eagles n boys and lost.

Skip: I agree. Professor and, the league rather, lost Javonte for the year who is an extremely talent running back and I assure you will be a force in this league some day. Jalen (waves hand in so so motion) didnt really have the best performance either. Still. Pretty evenly matched but Robinson, who I like, just came up really really short Johnnys team. That could have been the biggest difference maker for Johnny. I mean this did more for Professor because it elevated (gestures with ✏pencil in hand) Professor out of the cellar in last place and gave him his first win.

Shannon: Yup. Now despite the bottom of the league having all wins, there's 4️⃣ teams (gestures 4 fingers comically) tied at 2-2. He meaning Johnny on the outskirts but the season is still early.

Skip: (Giggles😂) Can you show the audience that 4️⃣ thingy you did?

Shannon:

Shannon: Dont that remind of you of somebody Skip? Yo boy. Thats right👉 YOUR (points at Skip) boy. (Laughs)

*Skip shakes head in embarrassment as the commercial app advertisement begins*

Marriage is a daily pursuit of God and your spouse. Lots of people pursue their partner while dating. You can see it in what you do, what you wear, how you talk to each other, pet-names for each other etc. When they get married they eventually relax and stop pursuing. The key is: Daily Pursuit Great quote to live by: “What you fail to celebrate will exit your life.” - @allanbagg The opposite of this quote is also true. It’s in the small things we say and do and even think. Hint: This can be applied to your health, business, family, peace of mind, studies, relationship with parents etc. So, who and what are you pursuing and celebrating today and how? “Catch us the foxes, The little foxes that spoil the vines, For our vines have tender grapes.” Song of Solomon‬ ‭2:15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ 🦊 The “small foxes” are those thoughts, habits, words that shouldn’t be in our lives and hearts. Pray this: “Lord catch those foxes in my life. Help me to identify them. Remove them even without me knowing about it. Your grace is sufficient, I walk in Your grace today. Help me celebrate what’s right, in every area of life today..” Overtime (Extra thought): If strength to strength then surely this below ⬇️ applies too. Warning ⚠️ Fear to fear. Anxiety to anxiety. Offence to offence. Unforgiveness to unforgiveness. Anger to anger. Tiredness to tiredness. ⬇️ “They go from strength to strength...” Psalms‬ ‭84:7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “…Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’ ””Joel‬ ‭3:10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ . . . . #loaded #marriage #maxedout #blessed #inspire #motivate #love #life #happy (at Somerset West, Western Cape) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChrF_dkMkrd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Some days feeling happy is a challenge for me. Because life is life, and ^**+, well, it just happens. I hate feeling “off”, because when I’m feeling myself, everything just flows. Even problems are easier. . There are some tricks that help me to get back into my groves. . AFFIRMATIONS I’ve been sharing some on my TikTok, but it doesn’t have to be anything complicated or fancy. Just saying to yourself “today is going to me an amazing day!” is great. . SMILE Trust me, there are days when I don’t want to smile. But walking up to the mirror and just smiling at the reflection help. It’s actually one of the tricks I’ve learned from my therapist years back. . MAGIC ELIXIR or “pick your poison”, depending on how you look at it :) Basically, I have a routine that I do that always makes me feel more grounded and, in return, happy: a glass of water + lemon, then a cup of coffee or tea, depending on what I crave that day. Always helps. . “HAPPY DAY PLAN”. Literally, I envision how the day is going to go perfectly, and I imagine a few different scenarios, so that no matter what happens, it’s still “glass half full”. . SILVER LINING MINUTE I look at everything and no matter how heavy things feel at the moment, I try hard to find something good. Even if just one thing. Doesn’t have to be big, just something good. HELPS. SO. MUCH. . CHOOSING HAPPY. That’s not to say that you have to fake happiness and bottle down other feelings, no. But it really clicked for me a few years ago that feeling happy IS a choice. You can feel happy and balanced at the most difficult moments in life, and you can also feel terrible no matter how great life is. Africa showed me first hand what real, genuine happiness is like. Yon don’t have to go to Africa. You can still chose to be happy though. Every day. . Add to my post below! What helps you? .
