The Dream King
The Webmaster at the Dream King Web site signed my guestbook!!! That means I have bridged one degree of separation from the Dream King himself, Trent Carlini- the world’s greatest Elvis Stylist EVER!!!!! Trent has a new show at the Riviera in Vegas. I am quite the Trent Carlini fan, you see, I first saw him on the Vicki Lawrence show back when I was in college. (I recorded it and still have the tape…the first hour is the Vicki show followed by Forever Knight, Kung Fu the Legend Continues, Highlander and BRIDESHEAD REVISITED:) Then my mom and I saw his show when we visited Vegas back in the winter of 1996. I remember we were going through a Las Vegas magazine trying to find out what shows to see and the Dream King brochure just fell out. It was as if we were meant to see the show! I picked up the pamphlet and exclaimed, “this is the guy from the Vicki Lawrence show…we have to go!” We were so blown away by his performance we told all our friends who were going to Vegas that they had to see him. Then in 2000 we took my sister to Vegas and we made sure to see the Dream King again. Last November, when I was in Vegas for a business trip I went to see him alone. His performance was just as electrifying as I rememeber except he used the same excuse for getting on stage late as he did the time before- “We’re waiting for a busload of senior citizens whose bus broke down…” My fingers are crossed that one day Trent will perform in Philadelphia.
