Elvis Aaron Presley was born January 8, 1935 and he died on August 16, 1977.

He was considered as a big star in the era of the 1950's. Presley is labeled officially as an American singer.

This man is also known for being a musician and an actor. He married Priscilla Presley from 1967 through 1973.

It is fascinating to know that Presley has four grandchildren. Before he became this big singer he was actually traveling on the road with his bandmates.

What he is known for is his style of music was labeled as rockabilly. He had the ability to combine country music with the blues.

It is shocking to find out that Elvis never wrote any of his songs according to an article.

What is known is that his label gave him the right to have co-writing credit on many songs because his management demanded song writers give 50% of the credit before Presley would record it.

Elvis's biggest hit during his prime was called, "Don't Be Cruel." Many people loved him during the 1950's because he had so much charisma and he had a baby face.

They loved his voice and how he had this bad boy image. Although one bad thing about him was that he did not eat the healthiest.

He was all about the fast-food and lot of people speculate that this is what caused his heart attack.

Blue and Red Word Search Book

This is an awesome booklet for those who love the 50’s! It has many pages to keep your brain busy by searching for words with just your eyes. I noticed that is has yellow wording and an arrow indicating to open the book. The front page has labeled the 1950’s on it and the author has made sure to put their name on it.

It reminds me of seeing her use them at her doctor’s visits.

This type of outfit melted the girls/women's hearts at the time. Males would wear a leather or denim jackets, white or patter button up top underneath, blue or light jeans, either a quiff hair or leave it natural with some gel in it. I think of the outfits that Johnny Depp would wear in his Crybaby movie with his slicked back hair, leather jacket, and a rebellious but hot vibe. Today we label these type of people as bad boys but back in the 1950's they were called the greasers and apart of the greaser subculture. Looking back at these photos you never saw older men wearing this style, it was mostly teenagers and young adults. Those who dressed this way were definitely very popular in high school. Let's also not forget they added a cigarettes to compliment the look. If any o...

The difference is that women were less shamed about how their bodies looked back in the 1950's such as they did not nit pick about how a woman has arm fat or that she is too curvy. It was more they were judged about how they were showing their bodies so freely and wore scandalous clothes that turned their husbands heads. Which today some people still do that but it is more encouraged now to show your body freely and not judge women on how much skin they show unless it is nudity. Pin up girls mostly wore high-waisted bottoms to show off their curves and hips. They also included high-waisted skinny jeans with buttons on the sides, Capri pants high-waisted shorts, and pencil skirts. It was so scandalous if a woman were to show their stockings, wore a deep V-neck, and showed any clothing items that r...
