BEDROOM FURNITURE LINE LETS CUSTOMERS SLEEP WITH ELVIS.


Byline: Amy Raisin Staff Writer

CANYON COUNTRY - Twenty-five years after his death, Elvis is alive and well, raking in millions - he's the highest-grossing deceased celebrity this year - with his name on everything from postage stamps This is a list of postage stamps that are especially notable in some way.

The best-known stamps:
  • Treskilling Yellow (Sweden)
  • Penny Black (Britain)
  • Blue Penny (Mauritius)
  • Inverted Jenny (U.S.
 to furniture.

The latest in the merchandising blitz bearing the pelvis-shaking legend's name is the Elvis-inspired bedroom line.

But winning the rights to sell the Elvis Presley Collection - Homemakers in Canyon Country is the exclusive vendor in the Santa Clarita Valley The Santa Clarita Valley is the valley of the Santa Clara River in Southern California. It stretches through Los Angeles County and Ventura County. Its main population center is the city of Santa Clarita. The valley was part of the 48,612-acre (19,672.  - comes with some interesting rules.

Among the proscriptions specified by Elvis Presley Enterprises Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. (EPE) is a corporate entity created by the "Elvis Presley Trust" to conduct business and manage its assets.

After Elvis Presley's death, Elvis's will appointed his father, Vernon Presley, as executor and trustee.

Homemakers, with two showrooms on Soledad Canyon Soledad Canyon is a long narrow canyon / valley located in Los Angeles County, California between the cities of Palmdale and Santa Clarita. Soledad Canyon contains the localities of Vincent, Acton, Ravenna, and Agua Dulce.  Road, is honoring the distinct requests and has displayed the king-size beds, dressers, night tables and framed records with a cardboard cutout cut·out

``We had it advertised in the window and people have been calling for months now,'' said Juda Toledano, a floor decorator at Homemakers. ``They said they don't even care what it looks like. They just want it.''

For those who are familiar with Graceland or imagine lots of red velvet when they hear the name Elvis, the new bedroom furniture is tame and modern compared with the images of white polyester jumpsuits studded with jewels.

The ``Love Me Tender'' mirror, for example, is heart-shaped and done in a subtle gilt. And one needs to look closely at the brass knobs adorning the cherry-wood finished ``Graceland'' dresser to see the EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) A protocol that acts as a framework and transport for other authentication protocols. EAP uses its own start and end messages, but then carries any number of third-party messages between the client (supplicant) and access control  - for Elvis Aron Presley - written in flourished script.

Elvis fans can stay with the standard pewter handles on the light wood- colored ``Hollywood'' set, or they can upgrade to handles that feature Elvis' initials.

For those unsure about investing in the entire bedroom set, consider the framed, gold-plated 45 rpm records complete with album cover. Each record comes with a certificate of authenticity A Certificate of Authenticity (COA) is a seal or small sticker on a proprietary computer program, t-shirt, jersey, or any other memorabilia item, especially in the world of computers and sports, which is designed to demonstrate that the item is authentic. .

For information about the Elvis Presley Collection, call Homemakers at (661) 252-3068.
