TOP ELVIRA IMPERSONATOR IS REALLY A MAN



ATLANTA (Wireless Flash) – One of the world’s top Elvira impersonators has a shocking secret: she is really a he. 22-year-old Atlanta actor Patterson Lundquist has been imitating Elvira since he was a teenager, doing up to 50 appearances each Halloween. He says it’s always fun imitating Elvira, despite the pain caused by wearing five-inch heels and a heavy bouffant wig. Lundquist says many folks mistake him for the real Elvira when he’s done up in full regalia – which includes a massive chest piece that replicates Elvira’s bountiful cleavage. Despite his success, he says most other Elvira impersonators have slagged him off with catty comments. According to Lundquist, “Many of them are very fake people, very defensive about their look or full of crap altogether.”
