KISS,

I wanted to share with you my KISS nutcracker collection I hand painted myself..for my enjoyment. I have not seen this done before, so I wanted to challenge myself to see if I could make it happen. Hope you get some amusement out of this.


Merry KISSMAS,

Michele P.

Hi KISS!

Growing up in the eighties I never thought I'd see KISS perform in make-up - accomplished! I never thought I'd see the original lineup - accomplished and I definitely never thought I'd be taking my son to see them live - accomplished. I've loved you guys since I was 4 years old and now my 4 year old son got his first live KISS experience last nite in Pittsburgh and loved it!! I don't know how you guys continue to deliver but you do and I loved every minute every year and every lineup it doesn't matter. It's all KISSTORY and I thank you for the memories.

KISS!

I wanted to send you a picture of me getting your signatures inked in after the show in Kansas City. I called ahead of time to Mercy Seat Tattoo when I got my meet & greet. Chris, the tattooist, gladly reopened the shop to do your signatures. He's a huge fan too. I just wanted to say thanks again for signing my back. I'll wear KISS proudly for ever. I can't wait for you to come to St.Louis so I can do another meet & greet. I also gave you all pictures of my KISS tribute bike, I really hope you enjoyed them.

Thanks again for 35 years of Rock n Roll!
