I don't even like KISS, but have you ever thought about how much Peter Criss' makeup sucks in comparison to the makeup worn by the rest of the band?

Gene Simmons obviously has the coolest makeup; I think he's supposed to be a demon. Ace Frehley is supposed to be a spaceman or something.  Paul Stanley has a star over his eye—which, come to think of it, is pretty lame too—but really, Peter Criss, is made up to look like a less than enthusiastic house-cat. 

Frankly, I'm just baffled at how Mr. Criss settled upon his look. If I'm sitting in a room, brainstorming ideas for cool costumes, and my friends are throwing out ideas like wearing leather batwings, fire breathing, spitting blood and wearing spiked plates of armor, I'm sure as fuck not going to follow up with, "hey guys, how about I dress up like an especially tame looking cat?"

i used to call him "kitty face."

this did not please my KISS obsessed boyfriend of the moment.

and by the way... the demon, cat man, star child and spaceman.

cat man makeup was "in accordance with the belief that Criss had nine lives because of his rough childhood in Brooklyn."

we literally watched a movie called "kisstory" on our second date... i shoulda know.
