.. Can't they just let the dead rest? Would you want people auctioning off parts of you long after your death like nick nacks to placed on a shelf? How is that not inappropriate? I'm actually going to go with utterly ridiculous, so no I wouldn't be interested. What are they going to clone Elvis? XD

I am certainly not interested. Elvis was before my generation - and even if he wasn't, the idea of paying money for any dead person's hair gives me the creeps. As to whether the sale is appropriate...I can see both sides of the argument. On the one hand, selling a dead celebrity's hair or other body parts seems very uncouth and rather gross. It seems to exemplify our celebrity obsessed culture in the worst possible way. However, Elvis also has a legion of dedicated fans who might not feel the same way about having his old hair. For one of them, the hair might give them some sense of happiness and a feeling of connection with their idol that means more than I might understand. Also, if it was his cape or a pair of shoes that was being sold off, no one would think twice. For his fans, his hair is just another aspect of the things that made Elvis "the King".

Have no idea who he is, but hair is a simple byproduct, it can be easily replicated, so I'm not sure why its appropriate or not. People collect weird things, period.

I'd love to have some of his hair to give to my ex fiance, whom I believe his daughter more than even she does her self. She was married to my friend, Christian Brando, and is trying is suing the Brando Estate now as she stands in his shoes...but she has lied to me so much, and we are not getting married. Her name is Deborah Delaine and goes by the last names of both Presley and Brando.

She told me she tried to get some of Lisa Marie's hair out of her head at the Club Lingere, but could not get close enough. She's needs DNA to prove who she is, but she'll be a decietful liar regardless.
