Happy 50th Birthday to Dressed To Kill. I wasn't old enough to pick up a record when it came out, let alone wear Gene make-up, but it soon became a favourite of mine in later life!

The official KISS website, kissonline.com, has had a complete redesign including simplification and making it easier to browse for KISS music & videos.

From Pophouse:
KISS (Pophouse) has made a complete re-design of the website. Why? Because the old website was not functioning properly. The backend was outdated and many features simply could not be fixed without a total do-over. It’s also because Pophouse wants to bring KISS into the future, and part of that is working through all the different interactions fans have with KISS, website being one of them. Right now, the functionality is kept as simple as possible – with focus on simplifying the design, emphasizing the music and the music videos and making a serious facelift to the KISS Army. Going forward, Pophouse is committed to continuously improving the fan experience and solidifying Kissonline as the definitive destination for everything KISS.

Happy 29th Birthday to one of the greatest MTV Unplugged albums. Released on 12th March 1996, KISS Unplugged helped kick-start the reunion.

Colouring has positive benefits including mindfulness, relaxation and increased focus and can be enjoyed by any age group. These books provide hours of creative and restful activity that combines the love of the music with the love of the art.

There was a KISS reference on BBC's Richard Osman's House of Games earlier today. It was from the "Is it Spaniel Craig?" round where the 1st answer rhymes with the 1st word of the 2nd.

There's also been a few KISS questions on the latest season of Never Mind The Buzzcocks.

Not sure about the mirrored image though...

Toyah Willcox & Robert Fripp have recorded another KISS related Sunday Lunch, this time it's their version of Lick It Up! 2 years ago they recorded an I Was Made For Lovin' You video which can still be found on their feed.

Thanks to Darren Wells for the info.

It's 10 years since the KISS residency in Las Vegas closed. Such a great show in an amazing city. If you stayed in Hard Rock you were treated to KISS cocktails, cookies, door keys & 'do not disturb' signs!
