Here's 4-year-old Pontus Fredriksson celebrating KISSmas in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Just wanted to share a picture of me combining my passion for KISS with the passion for my footballclub FK Haugesund, here in Norway.

KISS IS EVERYWHERE!

Hey Guys!

I recently ran the world's biggest half marathon (the Great North Run in the UK) as The Demon, and I can't tell you how great the experience was! It was like being in The Beatles! (Or KISS!) The crowd response was totally amazing - there's such love for KISS out there! as you probably know! - and I got totally papped too! Interviewed for TV and radio, repeatedly photographed, and even made the BBC's one minute (one minute!) round up of the whole event here - blink and you'll miss me at 14 secs: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/athletics/14966843.stm.

It was a little bit tough running 13 miles in the face paint, suit and wig - Hotter Than Hell, in fact, but it was all worth it! Especially as I was doing it for charity, myself and my friend Clare raising over $2000 for Children With Cancer. I hope to do more KISS fundraising soon! Maybe I'll come out and run the New York Marathon in costume! Maybe I can even get four of us to do it, with the whole of KISS running a marathon! (Has that happened before?) Anyway hope to get to meet you guys some day!

Maybe when you play the UK next! In the meantime I'll continue to help spread the word of Kiss as well as raise more money for worthy charities!

The holes are being drilled, the artificial turf laid, and the props — most notably a giant, starred boot and oversized Gene Simmons head with gaping mouth — placed.

KISS by Monster Mini Golf, an indoor putt-putt course themed after the iconic glam-rock band, will open March 15 at The Shoppes at Harmon Square, owners announced this week.

The miniature golf course was supposed to debut at the end of this year and then in January, but the project’s Facebook page said the opening was postponed by a series of unspecified construction hitches. The new grand opening date coincides with the anniversary of the band’s “Destroyer” album, released March 15, 1976.

Monster Mini Golf, which runs 25 mini-golf courses nationally, signed a 10-year, $3 million lease with the strip mall at Harmon Avenue and Paradise Road. The indoor course will feature 18 holes with custom glow-in-the-dark KISS props, a video game arcade, a KISS gallery, the “Hotter Than Hell” Wedding Chapel, a private VIP room, the “Rock ’n’ Roll All Nite” Cafe and what’s billed as the largest KISS gift shop in the world. A live DJ will play KISS music and staff will lead customers in KISS trivia contests with prizes.

Mega-fans can even immortalize themselves in the venue’s decor. For a $20 fee, owners will post a business-card sized photo of you or a loved one in KISS gear on a restaurant or party room wall. Forty bucks will buy you a jumbo print. Big spenders can shell out $1,500 to have their photos displayed in digital frames at the start of holes Nos. 2 through 17, while the most dedicated fans can spend $5,000 to be featured at the first hole, dedicated to Paul Stanley, or the last hole, an homage to Simmons.

Our family put our Christmas tree up last night and part of it is, of course, a KISSmas tree! We found some of the new ornaments at Walgreens last week and love adding to our collection each year. The oldest one we have on the tree is from the Alive/Worldwide tour in 1996.

I work in a public library, and we had a lawn gnome elf "watching over" us this year. It moves from office to office, and when it reaches yours, you have to decorate it.

Here's what happened when it reached my office.

Frank Marino Featured in "These Boots Are Made For Rockin!" Campaign

Dubbed Ms. Las Vegas, Frank Marino’s role as Joan Rivers made him a widely recognized icon in female impersonation and the perfect DIVA to strut in the KISS boots for “These Boots Are Made For Rockin!” campaign (Photo: © Erik Kabik/ RETNA/ www.erikkabik.com).

Pictured above: Frank Marino’s alter ego, Joan Rivers, shows some leg in the authentic Destroyer KISS boots that are currently touring Las Vegas in celebration of the upcoming opening of KISS by Monster Mini Golf. Divas, starring Frank Marino, can be seen nightly (except Fridays) at 10:00pm in the Imperial Theater at Imperial Palace.

On the heels of the announcement about KISS by Monster Mini Golf opening in February 2012, the KISS boots have been brought to Vegas for a limited engagement throughout the city.

KISS By Monster Mini Golf is the first of its kind and will include an indoor glow-in-the-dark custom-designed, rockin’ 18-hole miniature golf course, a state-of-the-art arcade, the largest KISS gift shop in the world, A KISS Gallery, “Hotter Than Hell” Wedding Chapel, a private VIP Room, FANtastic KISS themed event rooms and the “Rock ‘n Roll All Nite” Café.

Mark your calendars...the KISS by Monster Mini Golf Grand Opening will take place on March 15, 2012.

Stay tuned for more details!

Thanks to Bruce Kulick for sending KISSOnline a photo of this great Beatles / KISS artwork he spotted in frame shop in Los Angeles.

KISS + CFL Champions = AWESOME!

The Hewkarskis attended the Canadian Football League's championship game in Vancouver. We mixed our love of the BC Lions with KISS and here is the rockin' blaze-orange result! The whiskers on Mr. Hewkarski's face are actually his magnificent moustache. We got many high-fives from fellow KISS fans at the Grey Cup - plus, the BC Lions won the game! P.S. We saw Gene and his beautiful wife and kids in the Grey Cup parade - lookin' good!

An ABC News crew caught up with generous gift-givers at a toy donation event on Friday. The "Stuff-A-Bus" event invited people to donate gifts to children, and one man dressed as "KISS Santa," bringing a trunk full of toys to the event... including KISS dolls and action figures!
