Another month, another month full of distractions. I have been unable to find time to do any new celebrities in makeup pretty much all summer. I have been working on my new home, travelling and spending time with my family. I hope to find some time in the next couple months to do a few more of the Celebs in Makeup. I really do have a fun time doing them. Anyway thanks for all of you that enjoy this feature of KISS Freaks. It really has taken off and is one of the most hit areas of the site. As always I get a ton of fan make versions. These are a lot of fun to see also. Anyway since I am unable to do any right now, take a look at the new fan made celebs. Enjoy!

Recently I picked up some rare and closeout KISS items. So I put together this special section on KISS Freaks to put these items up for sale. If you take a look at the prices, they are very good compared to what the KISS related shops sell them for. Most items are in short supply so order quick if you are interested before its gone!

Those people on the KISS Freaks Mailing List will be notified FIRST when we add new items. To join our email list type in your email address below then click Submit, then confirm when you receive our confirmation email. That's it!

Just a sample of a great deal. The KISS Camera which is a very rare item! And its only $12.99! Can't beat that. Every week we will add additional items so I can clear out these items. You can order online using credit card through PayPal. If you don't want to do that send me an email and we can work out other arrangements.
[Go See!]
