Back in the 1970's Las Vegas was a playground, not only for the rich and famous, but for anyone with big dreams. Beneath its public glamour and glitz was the private monarchy of Elvis Presley. Most people could only imagine what it was like to be a part of Elvis's world back then, but I lived it. I have written this book without bias or self=proclamation so that I may share the story of what was with those of you who loved him then and those of you who still love and respect him today.
Joe Esposito was Elvis's road manager as well as the boss of Presley's entourage, the Memphis Mafia, and I was a Memphis Mafia Princess. My job was to keep Joe happy, while living the fairly tale lifestyle that surrounded Elvis. It was also my job to befriend the women that Elvis brought with him on tour and to make them feel comfortable in a new environment. I would also keep them company if Elvis wanted to speak privately with Joe or with any of the other Memphis Mafia members.
As the women arrived and left through Elvis's revolving door, I would get to know each one of them personally. I learned which ones were permanent and which ones were not. I kept silent, because my first loyalty was always to Elvis. Because of that loyalty, I was always allowed on all of Elvis's tours, while many Memphis Mafia wives and girlfriends were rotated and hidden from one another.
I was also entrusted with rare access to Elvis's world, and I will always be grateful for the magical years that I was able to spend as a Memphis Mafia Princess.
I am pleased, now, to be able to share some of my special memories of those wonderful years with all of you. I hope you enjoy them.
