Elvis and his tan

[dreambear]

Does anyone know what factor lotion Elvis used? Doc?

He used factor 86 before the "on tour" movie....

You know..I was gonna stay out this...but in all honestly. I remember reading Elvis hated "laying out in the sun", where did that tan come from?

[EagleUSA]

He didn't always have to lay out for that tan. Even in the '70's there were products that artificially created darker skin.

[Rob]

Elvis did lay in the sun. We know this from photographs and film footage. However, let's get to the main issue here.

Did he use Coppertone?

I came across this picture yesterday, and could not believe how brown E looked!! Don't know about fake tanning lotion, looks like he got a tin of brown boot polish out before this show



BTW Scott just ignore your knockers, they are harmless really (for the most part!!).

Loved "The Tan & His Music" quip though, very good

[Ezzz]

He was into those tanning pills that were all the rage in Hollywood in the 70`s, was`nt he ?

what ever he took, it made him look damn good. even i, as a guy, would love a tan like that, i'm trying to get a bit of one at the moment, though not as dark as Elvis. Elvis looked good with or without a tan, he was just blessed!

Is this where I find the missing "Elvis CoStar Bares All?" thread.

I'm lost.

Oh, and while I'm at it, which Elvis Tribute Artist has the best tan? I'm thinking Alan, circa 1979, as seen at the Scranton Pennsylvania Legion.

Obviously, that thread is hitstory.

You were spending too much time there anyway!

Personally, I think Elvis reached the absolute peak of tandom when the Jaycees named him one of the "Top Tan Outstanding Young Men In America"...........

[scotch]

I'd love to have his tan from "Love Me Tender".

..and before I get any snide remarks, I grew up watching The Incredible Hulk on a Black & White TV, and I could tell the guy was green.

[Rob]

Wait just a damn minute! The Hulk was really green??!!

Just too add a bit, EP's favorite movie was the Tan Commandments.

[Rob]

EP's favorite movie was the Tan Commandments.

We never really got a definitive answer on this.

Anyone?

This may be the single funniest topic ever posted on this forum.

Revived for the enjoyment of all our recent new members.

I enjoyed it! Thanks Doc.

I found this pic...

[JaneTLC]

I think his best tan was the Bonja airplane shot of 1970.

That single photo is better that all the photos on that Azlee (or whatever her name is) thread put together.

[Rob]

Thanks for the reminder, Doc.

Did we ever get to the bottom of this?
