How . . . appropriate.
On This Date, February 18th in 1974: Kiss released its self-titled debut album on Casablanca Records. The album eventually peaked at number 87 on the Billboard 200 album chart. Five songs from the album — including “Cold Gin”, “Strutter” and “Deuce” — remain permanent staples in Kiss’ live set to this day.
You can look at the above cartoon in one of two ways: either this is the band Kiss dressed / made up as a bunch of Hello Kitties, or it’s Hello Kitty as the band Kiss. Either way, the crossover appeal is fairly transparent , as both Kiss and Hello Kitty have merchandised every item imaginable from T-Shirts and Toys to Coffins and Vibrators. Let the battle for the title “Kings of Corporate Whoring” begin!
Thanks to Hello Kitty Hell For the Image!
The part where the Mom “borrows” Paul Stanley for the night is my favorite!
OK, I know this picture combines two of my not favorite things: Gene Simmons’ face and cats. But it’s getting close to Halloween and, you know, cuteness.
