The Leon Chrisoulis Collection
How long have you been a KISS fan for, what was the first KISS record you heard? I’ve been a fan for 32 years. I was born in Australia and, like, all the kids in 1980 were KISS fans. (I remained one!), I can still remember taking my mother to the milk bar every day for my KISS Ice Cream and KISS cards. (I should have kept the wrappers! I regret that! hahaha). My first record was KISS Killers. My mother bought it for me because I was driving them crazy, I was 6 years old then.
What is your favourite piece you own, and which is the most rarest? My favourite piece of merchandise is anything from the ‘70s. I have Gene’s towel with make-up and blood on it (i caught it when KISS came to Greece). My family probably thought that i would get over it, but i guess they were wrong hahaha...
What do your family or partner think of your obsession? I imagine my parents bought me my first KISS record /showbag/calender /mego dolls ...they had no problem. They liked them too in their own way.
