Hi, can you tell me everything I need to know about KISS?

I really want to get into this fandom and asking people on Tumblr is more fun that reading a wikipedia article

thx🥰

Welcome to KISSblr! This is going to be fun, and tricky, how do I compress 50 years of magic into one post.

KISS were formed in early 1973 by Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, they found Peter Criss and Ace Frehley through ads. Through 73 they played local gigs, perfected the makeup and released album 1 in February 1974. Two albums a year for the next 4 years and nonstop touring took its toll on the poor boys, Peter and Ace fell victim to the rock star party drugs alcohol thing, Peter left in 1980, Ace in 1982. Peter was replaced by the sweet precious Eric Carr, Ace by Vinnie Vincent then Mark St John (no one talks about him btw) the finally by Bruce Kulick. I don't care what anyone says, this point was peak KISS. They took the makeup off in 1983 and kept on with making awesome music and amazing live shows, right up to the most tragic moment in KISStory, November 1991 when Eric Carr sadly passed away after a battle with cancer. The boys bravely kept going, bringing in KISS's first blonde member, Eric Singer and continued into the 90s the same way they had for their entire career, making awesome music. 1996 saw them decide to reunite with Ace and Peter, that lasted until 2002 when unfortunately KISStory repeated itself. Eric Singer came back and although I would have loved for Bruce to come back as well, they brought Tommy Thayer in to replace Ace, and he proved a worthy addition to KISStory, this was the lineup through to now.

Lineup:

Paul Staney, guitar, vocals (1973 +)

Gene Simmons, bass, vocals (1973 +)

Papa Louie Aesthetics Meme

Since the results from my poll a while back leaned to a whopping mighty YES, I figure now be the time to pose a fun challenge for Flipline Tumblr and those of us who enjoy making graphics, so....drumroll...The Papa Louie Aesthetics Meme!

Before we get to the prompt list below the cut, just a few guidelines:

-tag your posts with papa louie aesthetics meme so we can all see everyone's pictures gathered together

-do your best to make at least one picture for each prompt, though if you're absolutely stuck for inspiration for a few I'm not making it a big deal. If you want to do more than one picture for a prompt that's fine as well, I'm just making the basic guideline of at least one so people not as experienced with editing don't feel overwhelmed

-since Tumblr allows multiple images per post, you can put more than one picture into each of your own posts

-whether you want to do your images in basic 9-picture moodboard style or try different layouts, go right ahead! Whether you want to represent a character with a faceclaim or with their in-game picture, go right ahead with that as well!

Introducting San Juan

In 1508 the Spanish expedition leader Juan Ponce de Leon established Caparra, a small settlement close to a protected bay on the north coast of the island of Puerto Rico. In 1521 the town was vacated and resited to the present location of Old San Juan. In the 16th century, San Juan was the origin for Spanish exploratory trips to little known parts of the Caribbean.

Nowadays the old section of San Juan has an authentic Old World feel with over 300 restored Spanish 17th century town houses. The area also contains many shops, restaurants, bars, and casinos for cruise passengers to sample.

Touring San Juan

Characterful Old San Juan sits on a bluff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean northwards, and the port southwards. This walled and fortified area, now a major historical landmark, was established in 1510. Old San Juan is compactly sized, easy to get around on foot. If your energy runs out take the free bus that runs around the main attractions. Take time to stroll along the narrow cobblestone streets and admire the brightly colored houses, craft shops, and go to the interesting museums.

El Morro Fort

El Morro, a huge fort dating from 1539, defends San Juan from sea pirates. Its full name is Castillo San Felipe del Morro, after the patron saint of King Philip of Spain. You'll find six sets of gun platforms and huge walls that loom over San Juan Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.

La Fortaleza

Don't miss La Fortaleza, San Juan's oldest fort, founded in 1540. Later it was to become the official residence of the governor. Informative tours take you through the sumptuous building, with gilded banqueting hall, tall galleries, and rooms furnished in period fashion.

Cathedral de San Juan

This impressive cathedral dates back to 1592, on the site of the previous cathedral which was destroyed by a storm. Situated on Calle Cristo, this structure with a unique gothic pavonine facade contains the crypt of Ponce de Leon, a Spanish seaman, and the first ever governor of Puerto Rico.

Shopping

Most of the shopping in Old San Juan is to be found in the many shops along Cristo, Fortaleza and San Francisco streets. As an alternative go to the two markets where you'll find a big choice of jewelry, fashions, art and souvenirs. One is located at the Plaza de la Darsena, in front of pier 1, the other on the Paseo de la Princesa, just along from pier 1.

Bacardi Rum Distillery

Rum drinkers may prefer its nickname the Cathedral of Rum. There's a free guided tour and enjoyable trolley ride. After the boring talk about the distillery's early years enjoy a drink or two.

El Yunque

The only tropical rain forest in the US National Forest system. Very beautiful with a totally sylvan atmosphere. Situated about 45 minutes from San Juan.

Cabezas de San Juan Nature Reserve

A fascinating ecological reserve with 7 different tropical habitats. Be warned though, visitor numbers are limited, so a reservation is essential.

Cruise Ideas

Enthusiastic cruise vacationers pick San Juan as an alternative to a Florida port. Thanks to its central Caribbean location, the island provides quick access to wonderful Southern Caribbean ports, like the Netherland Antilles and the Windward Isles. A short flight is a better alternative to the long cruise to these areas from mainland US. The range of cruises on offer from San Juan is wide, including the Leeward Isles (USVI, St Maarten, St Kitts, Guadeloupe), the Windward Isles (Dominica, St Lucia, Barbados, St Vincent, Grenada,Tobago), and the Leeward Antilles off the north coast of Venezuela (the ABC islands ie Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao). See San Juan cruises for detailed cruise departure information. Several major cruiselines offer cruises from San Juan, such as Carnival, Royal Caribbean, PO Cruises, Princess Cruises, Silversea and Celebrity Cruises.

Cruise Ship Terminals

There are three major pier areas in San Juan port. Old San Juan piers 1 through 6, the Pan American pier, and Navy Frontier pier. Most times cruise ships visiting San Juan berth at the Old San Juan Piers, so passengers can walk into Old San Juan. Cruise ships leaving from San Juan will berth at Old San Juan pier 4, or the Pan American Pier, 15 minutes by cab from Old San Juan.

Getting to the Port

From the Airport

San Juan airport is located about nine miles from the Pan American pier and 12 miles from the Old San Juan piers. It usually takes about three quarters of an hour in a cab for the journey. The cost is around twenty dollars. Additional charges apply for luggage, some drivers charging by item.
