Lock 'n' Roll



You probably already heard about a swatch of Elvis Presley’s hair, which was sold for $18,300 at a Chicago auction on Sunday, Reuters reported. The locks, believed to have been snipped from Presley when he joined the Army in 1958, were among about 200 items of memorabilia collected by Gary Pepper, who was president of the Tankers Fan Club for Elvis devotees.

Note: The hair was not DNA-tested, but authenticated by “an expert in celebrity hair".

Which begs the question, so how does one become an expert in celebrity hair?
