Proof that I make a product that will last!

Barry,

Just want to say thank for a great job on my boots. They are 4 years old now and still in great shape. Thanks also for telling me how do touch ups to keep them looking new. I wear them often to some shows and such and they hold up with no problems.

When I was looking for a pair of Destroyer boots I was looking at a few people you stood out from the rest, and there were some people saying some negative things about you so I figured you must be good if they are taking time to do that. Bottom line is, they were wrong, I bought a great pair of boots that are worth every dollar. Looking forward getting some new stuff soon.

Cheers,

Glenn

HELPING CHARITIES WITH !

KISSONLINE FAN LETTER

KISS,

My name is Dr. Terry Traster, I'm a pharmacist in a small town in Illinois and I do charities and benefits with my Gene Simmons "Destroyer" costume. I have done benefits for individuals who are stricken with diseases and are having hard times paying their bills, charities to raise money to try to find cures for cancers, annual street festivals and many more. The response from people when they see somebody who looks like a member of the HOTTEST band in the world is invigorating! Everybody wants to take their picture with me and it puts a smile, but sometimes a scared look on peoples' faces.

I met KISS at the meet and greet in St. Louis this year and told Gene what I did and framed the conversation to let him know when the media is kicking him when he is down there is somebody out there that is spreading the good word of KISS and how much good they do like how much they support the Wounded Warriors Foundation. Gene asked me to write this and told me "If you inspire just one person, you have made a difference."

I am writing this as a challenge to all the members of the KISS Army that can afford one, BUY A COSTUME AND DO WHAT I DO! A couple of years ago I was asked by The Salvation Army Toys For Tots to do their benefit to buy Christmas presents for kids that otherwise wouldn't get any. The best Christmas present I ever gave or received was knowing that just by putting on my costume and showing up to this benefit I was going to help children get Christmas presents. Every year I do a free street festival in the beginning of August. There are a fair number of physically and mentally challenged people at this festival and when they ask to take their picture with me and I see how much joy I have brought to them and then their caregiver tells me "You have no idea what this means to them, their favorite band is KISS." it makes the money I spent on the costume and the time to put on the make-up seem completely insignificant.

I first wanted my costume in order to have the best Halloween costume possible, which it is. Then I was asked to do my first charity and the satisfaction I got from that was way more than I ever could have dreamed of. From there it has snowballed into something that gives me great pleasure and brings a lot of good to a lot of people and charities.

It's Christmas time now and it's the time for giving. Think about how much joy and pleasure KISS has brought to you or maybe somebody you know. Think about buying yourself a costume or somebody you know that would pay the good deed forward a costume . I have done a lot with my costume and you can too. Let's make 2013 the year the KISS ARMY goes into our local communities and spreads the good of the band that has done so much for us. Buy a costume and let the charities in your community know you are interested in donating your time to their causes. I guarantee you won't regret it!

A MONSTER TESTIMONIAL

Barry Carr,the name is known by thousands of Kiss fans,me being one of them decided to give Barry a message to have a Monster Gene Simmons costume made.I talked with him cumulatively for a couple of hours to make sure he could do it in the time frame I had prior to Kiss Kruise II.I had paid the first part of payments as planned and was waiting on a check to finish paying payments.He kept things in motion to help make deadline but due to being a sub contractor my payments are never in a timely manner so I had to drive to his home and then went to his shop since there was no time to ship after final payment.He was within hours of being finished so me and my wife hung out and talked while he custom fit my armor.I also had the privilege of airbrushing my boots myself with his tips on how to best paint shells.After solidifying a new friend outside of social networking me and my wife finished our journey to Miami for KK2 where once on the boat,and no practice for the boots the armor was a hit,I had so many people who wanted a picture with me wearing it.I even got my picture taken on KISS' stage wearing it.Due to no time I could not put make up on in time for that picture.It took a bit of a beating on the boat but thanks to Barry's continued advice and expertise I have since airbrushed it and repainted as needed,keep in mind for anyone who has been on a boat the halls are very narrow so it was hit often since I was not used to ever wearing it or the boots.For anyone who knows Barry personally they will tell you he is a perfectionist and that being said he is in the works of updating the cod piece and is going to replace the one in the pictures for the new one he is completing.I had nothing but a great experience with Barry and would repeatedly recommend him to any of my friends.Thanks to Barry and those involved in making one of my favorite Kiss items I will always treasure.You Rock Brother!!
