You've seen them in parades. You've gasped at their jumpsuits and marveled at their hair. You've swooned at their songs as they croon with their perfectly upturned lips, and you've smelled the sweet scent of engine oil and pomade as their scooters roar past -- but do you really know who are the Krewe of the Rolling Elvi? You may know them as New Orleans' most outrageous krewe, but in this first-ever expose', KRE Confidential draws back the curtain on these unforgettable hound dogs and heartbreakers. See who these sequined superstars really are when they're not wearing their blue suede shoes. But watch out -- you might just find yourself falling for one of these hunka' hunka' burning loves! The Krewe of the Rolling Elvi: the King is dead. Long live the Kings! ",,,,The blank spot on the American cultural canvas that Elvis left behind has morphed over the decades into a kind of pop cultural void that we have been trying to fill in ever since. Ray has personally taken it upon himself to fill the void by offering us this beautiful photo archive chronicling some of the men and women who are dedicated to breathing life, pleasure, and play into their creative salutations to the King of Rock 'n' Roll and his beloved bride..." -- Elena Creef, Professor of Women's Studies, Wellesley College REV.
