I was finally granted the opportunity to meet the God himself, Gene Simmons, at Gottschalks in Riverside, Ca.,as well as experience the introduction of the new KISS fragrance, which I do own. That night my husband and six year old daughter became KISS fans (actually, everybody became Gene Simmons fans). It was one of the greatest times of my life! I stood in line with Elvis(actually a cheap impersonation, but surreal, nevertheless), surrounded by a whole bunch of people who, like me, are devoted to KISS. It is truly now a religion, one that I am very proud to be a part of. My only disappointment being that I was so overcome with emotion and appreciation that I became "tongue-tied" and was unable to express myself - I had been rendered, for the first-time, SPEECHLESS ! I will attempt to say now, what I've wished I could say to His Eminence, Gene Simmons, for 30 years . . . You see, I am an incest survivor. One day my grandfather walked into my room, as he had on prior occasions, but on this day he would be greeted by 'The Demon', a giant poster of Gene spitting blood. Well, the simple-minded pervert was frightened so-----------oooo badly he never came back and told everybody that I was a Satan worshiper. So now I must say to "The Great One", THANK YOU, FOR SO MUCH! I am truly a loyal and grateful fan! Anna Cordes, in Riverside, Ca..
