"Elvis Royale" tribute rocks Atlanta

Photos: "Elvis Royale" tribute rocks Atlanta with Kingsized, Mike Geier, August 2010.

What?!!! ELVIS has NOT left the building? Sorry, Elvis fans, but as much as we'd like one last encore from The King, it's just Dames Aflame showgirl dancer Tracy Sacan dancing with Elvis impersonator Robby Dean as the band Kingsized performs "Polk Salad Annie" on-stage during the Elvis Royale show at Variety Playhouse on Friday, Aug. 13, 2010.

Elvis impersonator Robby Dean shows off his steps alongside Kingsized band members, Dames Aflame showgirl dancers and other Elvis impersonators during the final number. The semiannual Elvis Royale show features an Elvis tribute band, Elvis impersonators and showgirls. It is semiannual because the show is held on Elvis' birthday and the anniversary of his death every year.

Audience members wait for the Elvis Royale show to start. The show started in 1996 and has grown every year, but has always featured the band Kingsized and the Dames Aflame Dancers.

Dames Aflame showgirl dancers Rebecca Crawford and Beth Del Mero wait offstage for their cue before dancing alongside Kingsized band singer Mike Geier during "CC Rider," the first number of the Elvis Royale show.

Geier, lead singer of the band Kingsized, croons a song from Elvis Presley's repertoire.

Wearing his own Elvis outfit, Elijah Maris, 11 of Atlanta, gazes up at Kingsized band singer Mike Geier.

Surrounded by Dames Aflame showgirl dancers, Kingsized band singer Mike Geier ends the first set of the Elvis Royale show with with a flourish.

Geier's group, Kingsized -- a 13-piece band -- has performed at every Elvis Royale show, along with the Dames Aflame showgirl dancers.
