(Warning: some smokin’ m2m sex in passing. On the other hand, there’s some Elvis and some ZZ Top.)
Yesterday: a posting on cartoons from the 1991 book The World of Charles Addams, from a used copy recently acquired by Juan Gomez. In which was secreted a cigar-box label, all fresh and unused:

Occasionally, a cigar is just a cigar. But, as I pointed out in my cigar posting, it’s almost always some kind of symbol. And, not infrequently, it’s a penis.

On to Las Vegas, as celebrated here:

Viva Las Vegas is a 1964 American musical film starring Elvis Presley and actress Ann-Margret. Directed by golden age Hollywood musical director George Sidney, the film is regarded by fans and by film critics as one of Presley’s best movies, and it is noted for the on-screen chemistry between Presley and Ann-Margret. It also presents a strong set of ten musical song-and-dance scenes choreographed by David Winters and featured his dancers. Viva Las Vegas was a hit at movie theaters (Wikipedia link)
You can watch the title song as performed in the movie here. First-class glitzy cheesiness.
As a bonus, you can watch the 1986 ZZ Top cover here. Focused more on the music and the Las Vegas milieu.
So: from Charles Addams through cigars and m2m sex to Elvis Presley and ZZ Top.
