Good evening Priscilla, this is a great honour!

Hi Priscilla

riley (Jul 24, 2006 7:46:41 PM)
Good evening Priscilla nice to meet you

cillarulz (Jul 24, 2006 7:46:44 PM)
Hi Priscilla. I'm cillarulz, Tara. Thank you so much for giving your time to us. This is very special to me.

glorydaze (Jul 24, 2006 7:46:47 PM)
We Love You!!

zsylvia (Jul 24, 2006 7:46:52 PM)
Thank you Priscilla for doing this chat with us all.

mchase (Jul 24, 2006 7:46:59 PM)
Also, Magic and I want you to know that the staff at Graceland is phenomenal! We were just there and met for the first time in June!

zsylvia (Jul 24, 2006 7:47:07 PM)
Hi Priscilla,

priscillapresley (Jul 24, 2006 7:47:08 PM)
Thank you!

glorydaze (Jul 24, 2006 7:47:37 PM)
We are all Loyal to your Forum!

priscillapresley (Jul 24, 2006 7:48:01 PM)
I am very proud of the staff at Graceland. Thank you for mentioning them.

priscillapresley (Jul 24, 2006 7:48:27 PM)
Thanks for all your support!

magic (Jul 24, 2006 7:48:32 PM)
Thank you, Priscilla. We are all very excited at the prospect of chatting with you. My main question: Of all your post Elvis ventures, which have you enjoyed most--acting, planning and promoting new product lines (jewelry, fragrances, linens, etc.), planning and producing on Broadway, public appearances, writing your books, contributing to documentaries on Elvis, charity work.....excluding your children and grandchildren, of course. Which did you feel most challenging? From julieannboo, who could not be here because of the time difference, “Do you plan to do a play in the UK?”

priscillapresley (Jul 24, 2006 7:51:02 PM)
I think they are all challenging, because when I get involved, I put my heart and soul into it. So nothing is really easy. That could be a curse :)

cillarulz (Jul 24, 2006 7:51:22 PM)
This is a wonderful forum and i have meet some dear friends on here.

riley (Jul 24, 2006 7:51:24 PM)
Do you often read our comments on your forum

priscillapresley (Jul 24, 2006 7:52:27 PM)
I do read your comments and I love how you all interact; it teaches me a few things :)

zsylvia (Jul 24, 2006 7:54:27 PM)
Is there a chance that Elvis & Me will be released on DVD? There's been a lot of interest expressed on various forums.

priscillapresley (Jul 24, 2006 7:58:10 PM)
Right now I don't really have an answer on putting Elvis and Me on DVD. That's a good question. I should check on that.

zsylvia (Jul 24, 2006 7:59:18 PM)
Have you ever been back to visit Bad Neuheim in Germany?

priscillapresley (Jul 24, 2006 7:59:42 PM)
I have so much that I'm working on right now, but I can't say I won't do televison. If the right thing comes along, I'll do it.

magic (Jul 24, 2006 7:59:52 PM)
I am the granny of them all-69, and I feel 17. I never do this!!! I have another question pending, but I'll ask a short one to see if it will get through more easily. Do you plan to be in Elvis Week this year?

priscillapresley (Jul 24, 2006 8:01:02 PM)
Yes, I went back to Bad Neuheim about 8 years ago and it looked very much the same to me, but even more beautiful.

franny (Jul 24, 2006 8:01:29 PM)
When you met Elvis, did you ever have the feeling you would end up marrying him and what is one of your favourite memories of your life together?

priscillapresley (Jul 24, 2006 8:02:37 PM)
I'm not planning on going this year; I will be traveling out of the country. I hope to be there next year though.

mchase (Jul 24, 2006 8:02:42 PM)
Will you be writing another book?

priscillapresley (Jul 24, 2006 8:03:38 PM)
I have been thinking about writing another book. What would you suggest?

cillarulz (Jul 24, 2006 8:05:13 PM)
We would love to hear your story from where Elvis and me left off.

glorydaze (Jul 24, 2006 8:05:31 PM)
Or your life After Elvis!

glorydaze (Jul 24, 2006 8:05:45 PM)
Your beauty tips would be great!

priscillapresley (Jul 24, 2006 8:05:47 PM)
I never thought about marrying Elvis when I first met him. He was very concerned about his career and where he stood with his public.

priscillapresley (Jul 24, 2006 8:07:25 PM)
I have thought about doing both of your suggestions. Thank you!

cillarulz (Jul 24, 2006 8:07:32 PM)
I guess we all like to day dream about your love story with Elvis. Do you think, had he lived, that you would have gotten back together?

cillarulz (Jul 24, 2006 8:07:52 PM)
How proud you must be of Lisa Marie, Navarone, and your grandchildren. I wish them all the health and happiness. Riley has a gorgeous mixture of all of you in her and she is making a great career for herself.

cherrie (Jul 24, 2006 8:08:11 PM)
What advise are you giving to Riley on her modleing. Do you see becoming a Super Model.

glorydaze (Jul 24, 2006 8:09:00 PM)
I think she looks alot like You!

zsylvia (Jul 24, 2006 8:11:04 PM)
You must be so proud of your grandchildren.

glorydaze (Jul 24, 2006 8:11:08 PM)
sort of a mini-you!

priscillapresley (Jul 24, 2006 8:12:13 PM)
I am so proud of my daughter. She is truly her own person, which is very difficult in this generation where everyone seems to be the same and I'm also pround of how Riley is doing. She too is doing her own thing and has a great head on her shoulders. Shes very grounded, especially for being so young. Thanks for asking!

ladyc (Jul 24, 2006 8:12:16 PM)
Hello Priscilla. I have always loved the way you have taken care of your skin and how you apply your makeup. Can you share what type of skincare you use and makeup line. You have absoulutely beautiful skin.

franny (Jul 24, 2006 8:12:34 PM)
What beauty products do you use now and what did you use when you were with Elvis? I think you look great!

glorydaze (Jul 24, 2006 8:13:06 PM)
A makeup line would be fantastic !

cillarulz (Jul 24, 2006 8:15:24 PM)
yes, a beauty line would be amazing!

zsylvia (Jul 24, 2006 8:15:30 PM)
Maybe do a book on make up.

priscillapresley (Jul 24, 2006 8:17:13 PM)
I never lay in the sun anymore and haven't for many years. This is the number one don't. I don't smoke and seem to be on a constant diet. I make sure I do some form of exercise everyday; my latest is dance because I love to dance. I believe one should have fun with some form of exercise that way its not a chore!

glorydaze (Jul 24, 2006 8:17:26 PM)
I just wanted to tell you what a beautiful job that you have done with Graceland since it opened! I gratly respect you for keeping Elvis' memory alive! and you are a great business woman too!

cherrie (Jul 24, 2006 8:17:28 PM)
I want to thank you personnally for opeing up Graceland for tours. You are a very smart and beautiful bussiness woman. You don't know what a honor this is for me to have this live chat with you and express ny thanks to you

ladyc (Jul 24, 2006 8:17:54 PM)
When you go back to Graceland, do you stay the night in Graceland itself or do you stay somwhere else in Memphis?

priscillapresley (Jul 24, 2006 8:18:44 PM)
I thank you all for supporting Graceland and its staff. It is truly a labor of love for everyone!

cillarulz (Jul 24, 2006 8:18:57 PM)
through magic and mchase graceland adventures i got to see your wedding dress. What a beautiful dress! what is it like to have those things on display for everyone to see?

mchase (Jul 24, 2006 8:19:13 PM)
Is it hard for you and Lisa to visit Graceland? It holds a great amount of memories and emotions, I am sure.

priscillapresley (Jul 24, 2006 8:20:21 PM)
When we go back to Graceland, we usually have dinner there and stay late but stay somewhere else. The tours start early in the morning.

priscillapresley (Jul 24, 2006 8:23:11 PM)
Graceland is filled with memories. When I go back its as if I never left. Its as if Elvis is still there. His spirit is certainly felt!

glorydaze (Jul 24, 2006 8:24:07 PM)
That is beautiful!

riley (Jul 24, 2006 8:24:29 PM)
Many people feel the same, there is a presence you can feel in the house really

priscillapresley (Jul 24, 2006 8:24:35 PM)
To view all the items on display are moments in time.

franny (Jul 24, 2006 8:25:25 PM)
What was it like to live at Graceland?

cherrie (Jul 24, 2006 8:26:23 PM)
Are you still involed with Dream Foudation. This is so wonderful, to give someone there wish come true.

priscillapresley (Jul 24, 2006 8:27:27 PM)
I can't say its hard to visit Graceland because there were many happy times there. It is certainly bittersweet.

riley (Jul 24, 2006 8:28:15 PM)
when you were a teenager and you left germany, didn't you miss your family and could you adjust very well to a whole new lifestyle. Did Elvis help you with that

cillarulz (Jul 24, 2006 8:28:36 PM)
What do you think about all the millions of fans Elvis still has. I think the youngest on our forum is 14. My Jacob knows many of his songs word for word at age 5. Does that still amaze you?

priscillapresley (Jul 24, 2006 8:28:48 PM)
I am very much involved with the Dream Foundation. I have been their ambassador for seven years now.

riley (Jul 24, 2006 8:32:23 PM)
what was the most funniest thing you and elvis ever did. What did he do to cheer you up when you were sad

priscillapresley (Jul 24, 2006 8:33:28 PM)
I think it is incredible that young kids recognize his talent and I am thankful for the millions of fans that still support him. He has the most loyal fan base I have ever seen.

riley (Jul 24, 2006 8:34:04 PM)
can you say the Priscilla of the sixties and seventies is still pretty much the same as the Priscilla of today

cillarulz (Jul 24, 2006 8:34:07 PM)
Is there one thing you haven't accomplished yet that you still hope to do?

mchase (Jul 24, 2006 8:34:24 PM)
We are pretty loyal to you as well! ;)

magic (Jul 24, 2006 8:34:33 PM)
I think you can take a lot of credit for his being so well known among the younger generations, Cilla (and some of us older gals, too).

glorydaze (Jul 24, 2006 8:35:20 PM)
You are the reason his memory stays as strong as it is!

cillarulz (Jul 24, 2006 8:35:30 PM)
yes, i would have never known Elvis if it weren't for you, Priscilla. I became a fan of yours and in turn became one of elvis.

cillarulz (Jul 24, 2006 8:35:54 PM)
In all the pictures that we've seen it is obvious there was a true love between the two of you. That is special to see.

glorydaze (Jul 24, 2006 8:37:00 PM)
Are there any new Elvis Projects in the making Tv or otherwise?

priscillapresley (Jul 24, 2006 8:37:56 PM)
One Halloween, we dressed up as an old couple way beyond our years and went trick or treating to his father's house. We almost had him fooled until Elvis started laughing so hard he couldn't keep a straight face. He would make funny faces at me to cheer me up.

riley (Jul 24, 2006 8:38:34 PM)
could you ever imagine the day you married that your lovestory would be subject of many many books and films. Did you ever both talked about that

riley (Jul 24, 2006 8:38:36 PM)
that is so nice to read Priscilla thank you

franny (Jul 24, 2006 8:38:59 PM)
That's hilarious!

riley (Jul 24, 2006 8:39:13 PM)
you really had good times together, I'll bet. In most films it is not showed enough I think

mchase (Jul 24, 2006 8:40:26 PM)
Will you ever host a contest where perhaps one or a few of us faithful posters could have a personal tour of Graceland? I know I'm pushing it, but it would be a dream come true! I had a nightmare before our trip that I was getting a personal tour from you and had forgotten my camera! Thought I was going to die! ;)

magic (Jul 24, 2006 8:41:01 PM)
Are there any official Priscilla fan clubs?

riley (Jul 24, 2006 8:41:19 PM)
Will there be a second part of EBTP

priscillapresley (Jul 24, 2006 8:42:54 PM)
I never imagined our story would be the subject of stories and books. I think the most upseting part is having someone write about you that has neither met you or they write through other's stories of which other people wrote that they heard from someone else, or they want to change history.

magic (Jul 24, 2006 8:45:07 PM)
So many of the books and videos show bad times more than the good......sensationalize to sell their product, I guess. Which leads me to ask: of those close to Elvis who have written books, which come closest to the truth. And, of those who didn't really know him as a friend but did their research well ?

priscillapresley (Jul 24, 2006 8:45:50 PM)
I have no idea why some films show a dreary picture. I think its because we were very private with our relationship.

cillarulz (Jul 24, 2006 8:46:15 PM)
Elvis by the Presleys was an amazing tribute.

priscillapresley (Jul 24, 2006 8:47:06 PM)
I have not really thought about a contest. Thank you for the idea!

magic (Jul 24, 2006 8:48:10 PM)
I'm glad you were private with your relationship; you deserve that. Of course, I'm one of those who wants to know everything you're willing to tell me. LOL

franny (Jul 24, 2006 8:48:16 PM)
I loved Elvis By The Prelsey's! I thought it was fantastic!

mchase (Jul 24, 2006 8:48:40 PM)
I think we all feel the same way Magic does!

mchase (Jul 24, 2006 8:49:03 PM)
We'd pretty much walk to Memphis (or wherever) to meet with you!

mpowers (Jul 24, 2006 8:49:10 PM)
Me too....GREAT DOCUMENTARY!!!

glorydaze (Jul 24, 2006 8:49:37 PM)
Priscilla will your linen collection be widley available?

priscillapresley (Jul 24, 2006 8:50:10 PM)
Jerry Schilling just wrote a wonderful book, which he is now promoting. I think it gives an insight of a very special time. I really want to support him on a job well done and with such compassion!

franny (Jul 24, 2006 8:50:47 PM)
Will it be available in Canada?

franny (Jul 24, 2006 8:50:55 PM)
I ordered Jerry's book! I can't wait to get it!

glorydaze (Jul 24, 2006 8:51:25 PM)
Thanks Priscilla I will order it asap!

glorydaze (Jul 24, 2006 8:53:11 PM)
Are your linens available online?

priscillapresley (Jul 24, 2006 8:55:31 PM)
Yes, we are currentlly working on distributing here in the states. We'll be launching in Canada in October. I hope to see you there franny; bring all your friends. Check my website for all my in store appearances in September. Also, the linens will be available on line via Cuddledown.com in January.

priscillapresley (Jul 24, 2006 8:57:39 PM)
Thank you all for joining me today. This has been fun. I feel like I know you and hope you'll continue to support the site. I look forward to chatting again! :)
