Hello Everyone!
I would like to thank all of you who jumped on board and took this journey with me. Thank you again for all your support, encouragement and well wishes.
You've probably heard through my appearances it was a life changing experience in that I learned so much about myself as far as reaching levels I never thought I could ever attain. At times I felt exposed, vulnerable and filled with anxiety. Frustration with myself was a daily bout. But when I put all in perspective…the conclusion is…we were all desperately trying to learn years of training in four and a half days. To learn different styles of dances and their difference in techniques, approach and attitude and look like a professional. Quite a task. I applaud all the wonderful talent I met on the show. I feel I came out a winner in that I met so many people who I probably would never have crossed paths with.
My only regret? I wish I could have danced the faster numbers sooner. We were given the slower and more romantic styles. The only fast dance I had was my second dance the Mambo. This week was going to be the start of all the Latin dances i.e. Samba, Cha Cha, Paso Double, etc.
All that said, I had a great time and would do it all again and I recommend all of you to take on a challenge or something you have always wanted to do and jump in heart and soul. It doesn't matter what people say or think. It is for you…to grow and excel.
Thank you my friends.
Sincerely,
Priscilla
Hello Everyone!
Thank you for all your votes.
There are some very talented stars this season and the competition is intensifying. All in all I am having a great time. It is hard work, grueling hours, time consuming and physically my body has gone into shock
.
The reward is I have met some truly wonderful people and the challenge is
so great…it is life changing. Life changing in that, one can conquer
their fears and reach heights they never expected to reach.I have challenged myself…put myself in a very vulnerable position. I have stripped myself of considerations that would have normally stopped me from making the decision to appear on Dancing with the Stars. It has been inspiring.
My next dance will be the Viennese Waltz. The challenge will be to make it graceful, beautiful and effortless.
Thank you again for keeping me on the show…
Sincerely
Priscilla
Hello Everyone!
Thank you for all your encouragement, support and well wishes.
Yes, I was just as nervous as everyone else and I'm relieved that the first week is now over and all went well. I think the anticipation mounted in the green room while waiting for my time to perform, it was quite overwhelming. All that said, the experience so far has been very good. Everyone is a delight to work with. The professional dancers are fun, full of mischief and very supportive to all. I can see how disappointing it is when one is voted off...a real bond and friendship is formed among many.
I'm happy that we have completed the Foxtrot. Wednesday, the very next day following the ladies initial dance, I had my first rehearsal with the Mambo. This is a very different dance from the Foxtrot: it has lots of movement, it's very fast, and a lot more fun. A real challenge! don't stop watching...my partner Louis always has surprises, he continues to challenge me.
Love,
Priscilla

!Hello Everyone,
Well NOW you know, I have committed to Dancing with the Stars. After much thought, I have decided that I would like to give it a try. I have been somewhat of a fan of the show since it aired. And watched, with admiration, the fortitude, determinism and sheer courage, each star or celebrity had undertaken. I think I am ready for the challenge. It is a time in my life where, if I don't except the offer now, I will probably never do it.
The other reasons are, the show is positive, it is entertaining enough that the whole family can participate and it appears to be a lot of fun. I don't see it as a reality show. THAT, I am not interested in. I see it at as entertainment.
The only time the camera is around is when you are in rehearsals so that the audience can see or be apart of your journey in the competition. This is a bit awkward for me and will take some time for me to get use to.
Day 1
I met my partner for the first time yesterday (Feb.16th). Louie. I liked him. After our introduction he went right into seeing if or how I could move. It has been a long time since I have danced
so needless to say, I felt very awkward. Hopefully he will get me over it. I have had some training in jazz and a little in ballet. In jazz one dances low, knees usually bent. In ballroom dance it is about holding your posture tall body, up. We went through the lesson concentrating on teaching me the fox Trot. WE'LL SEE!
Day 2
Did more of the same. Going over all the steps adding some new ones. I believe the routine has to be one min. 20. OH MY!
I leave for N.Y. early tomorrow to be on Good Morning America on Tues. then fly to Chicago for the taping of the Oprah show. Which I think will air Feb 21st. (not sure).
Stay tuned, I will try to keep you up-dated as much as I can.
Always,
Priscilla
Hello everyone. I can not believe it is this time of year AGAIN! Where has 2007 gone? Why didn't my mother tell me as one gets older, time flies. I will have to speak to her about this. I will now nurture every pleasure moment with my friends and family and appreciate even more what life has to offer and this most certainly includes all of you. You are a gift to me. Most of you have been so wonderfully caring and supportive to me and my family and that in itself means the world to me.
It has been a very busy year of traveling, designing, maintaining business, and corresponding but I do log in to the forum to read your comments, thoughts and concerns or just plain chatting and do take it all in stride and with consideration. I want to thank you for your patience in putting up with my old letter to you and promise I will not let it go that long again.
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and hope for a better 2008 for us All.
Sincerely,
Priscilla
Hello everyone,
As you all know this is a big week for me here in Memphis.

Please stay tune for all the activities here and I will write more details later on.
All my best,

Hello Everyone!
Well…the holidays are upon us and it's hard to believe that another year has passed…I want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your continued support to me and my family.
It's been an exciting year for me one which saw the launch of my bed linen collection, The Priscilla Presley Collection, in Australia, the UK and Canada. We have exciting plans for 2007 including expanding territories and categories as well as a Concept Store…stay tuned for more details. This last year also saw exciting events at Graceland, from our designation from the Secretary of the Interior to a National Landmark, an American Idol stop with the final four contestants in May to a historical visit from the President and Mrs. Bush and the Japanese Prime Minister Koizumi. I'm sure many of you saw the Prime Minister's enthusiasm at Graceland. He was delightful and a true Elvis fan.
Thank you for coming to my web site and chatting…I do read your posts and chats and I take them to heart.
I wish for each of you a safe and joyous holiday season and all the best in the coming new year!
Love,
Priscilla
Happy New Year! It's hard to believe that we are already in the month of February.
Thank you all so much for continuing to come to my site, I have been surfing the site and have been reading some of your forum threads recently.
Life has been quite busy and I am happy to announce that I will be launching the “Priscilla Presley Collection” in Australia at the end of February. My line will start in the home, where my hope is that I can bring to you luxury linens at an affordable price – a true value. It's always been a dream of mine to design a home line and I learned at a very early age, when I was married, what kind of style and décor I found interesting. I am inspired by icons, art, fabrics and the smallest of details.
My partner, Bruno Schiavi is an incredible merchant and designer and between the two of us, we have had a great time developing this line. I hope to be selling the “Priscilla Presley Collection” in the States soon, but for now we plan on an international distribution.
Please take a look in the “Boutique” section and let me know what you think of my first collection.
Will be back in touch soon, until then…take care.
Love,
Priscilla
Hello to All!
I would like to thank all of you for your tremendous support of my web site. I have been browsing the forum, but not as much as I would like because my schedule has been so busy. Once I start to browse, it seems that I can't stop……there are a lot of questions that you have that I'd like to answer…..and I wish that I could get to all of you. But…keep an eye out for me….you never know, I may just post an answer to your question!! Look for some exciting news on my site regarding a line of homewares that I'll be launching in the Spring of 2006. I'll keep you posted with press and any appearances that I'll be making for the launch of my line…I'd love to meet you in person!
Please continue to check in and I hope that you'll like what you see…
Love,
Priscilla
Welcome to my website!
Let me start by thanking you for your patience....this has been a long time coming only because I originally was going to launch my own radio station online. The technology of incorporating it to my site became very complicated and time consuming...much more than I ever expected. So, I decided to just have a simple evolving site.
Please enjoy and let me know how you feel...
Sincerely,
Priscilla
