The Paul Stanley KISS Bust by Illusive Originals Numbered 178 of 15,000. This was during the era when KISS took over Spencer’s, and visiting a Spencer’s store in 1996 was like entering Willy Wonka’s factory. It’s crazy that was over 20 years ago.
The simple joy of shopping malls, music stores, KISS Merchandise, and leaving the house without a phone.

Uploaded a new video to my YouTube Channel…Conjuring the good vibes of Spring by celebrating all that is fun with one of the greatest ‘Spring’ releases of the non-makeup years, ASYLUM.
Happy a good week everyone. Spring will be here before we know it…
It’s summer, and that means it’s KISS MEETS THE PHANTOM OF THE PARK time. So, I spent the evening documenting everything FUN regarding the 1978 made for Television KISS film, KISS MEETS THE PHANTOM OF THE PARK. Enjoy. Or, as the Demon would say, “You’re welcome.”
Do you dream of living the life of a rock star? Do you eat your morning cereal with Root Beer? If you answered YES to any of these questions, enjoy my new video, THE FUN OF KISS EXPOSED
The KISS EXPOSED video played a huge part in the teenage lives of my friends and myself. Today I had some fun remembering all the reasons why…
Having some fun talking the 1978 Gene Simmons Belt Buckle and Album from his Solo Album Promotional Tour.
A new birthday buckle. The glory of becoming an old man, is you score the same fun stuff you would have wanted when you were 8.

I put my own spin on those ‘band lineup’ shirts, by making a new T-shirt, celebrating the man who runs the park, the man who built the park, and the man who maintains order. All bonded together on beautiful, 1978 Corvette Orange.
If these three names make you smile, then we are KISS fans cut from the same cloth.

I have always wanted a LICK IT UP poster, stumbling upon one with the German logo, only makes it sweeter.
For more nerd-ly insight into why I love this album cover, please see my notes below…
-Much like the first album (KISS), the design is simple. Four individuals, no backdrop, no distraction.
-The LICK IT UP cover almost seems like a slight (Non-Makeup) tip of the hat to the bands 1st album cover. The 1974 self titled release, showed the four members, in makeup with a black background. The LICK IT UP cover, shows the four members, NO makeup, with a white background. Almost a ’re-birth’ if you think about it…
-I love the fact, Vinnie is wearing pink, when all the other members are wearing black. Visually…that’s classic.
-I love the fact, Paul is showcasing his wrist watch. Something you would had never seen in the makeup days. The watch tells us, Paul is human. These are not the masked superheroes of KISS, this is plain and simple, four guys in a rock band.
-Lastly, I always enjoyed the remnants of the past that are present in the photo. Vinnie’s ‘Ankh’ necklace, and Gene’s trademark tongue.

For the next edition of NIGHTCAPS FOR THE KINGS OF THE NIGHT TIME WORLD, I present to you…THE PARASITE.
½ Ginger Beer
½ Rum
Garnish with Lime
***Now, in creating a mixed drink for the HOTTER THAN HELL album, I wanted to use “Parasite” as the song title, and thought of using something either colored Green or Blue…but then thought, those would be best used for the Solo Albums, months down the road. Thus…I opted for this recipe, which is quite tasty, however the name ‘Parasite’, and this drink having the look of Turd Water, are kind of a turn off. LOL. Total fun regardless.
Happy Easter weekend everyone. April is here. Spring is upon us. Good times ahead…

Having some fun pitting 1982’s CREATURES OF THE NIGHT against, 1983’s, LICK IT UP, and deciding once and for all, which album, I prefer the most, and why…
Just in time for Saturday Night,
Night caps for the Kings of the Night Time World…
THE BLACK DIAMOND
1 ½ Oz Vodka
¾ Oz Kahlua
Cream
**Essentially, it’s a White Russian, but it’s much more fun calling it a “Black Diamond”, while spinning sone 1974 glory on the stereo.
Have a good weekend everyone…

Guest I would like to see at a KISS Expo…
THE DRESSED TO KILL KID
Even if he couldn’t remember squat, how cool would a photo op / M&G be with someone who witnessed the creation of one of the most iconic album covers ever?
