Hello KISS Asylum, I wanted to share a story about my daughter Corina’s experience at this year’s NJ KISS Expo….

My daughter is 3 years old and loves music!..She became “hooked” on KISS when her brother “CJ” played some of thier videos for her!…So obviously when we told her she would be dressing up like “Gene Simmons” for the costume contest..she was so excited!

We arrived at the Expo and had a great time meeting Bob,Bruce Kulick and the rest of the guests at the event!….Then it was time for the contest!….After touching up her makeup…Corina and her brother “CJ” (lil’ Paul) were ready for business!….She made her way up to the stage…posing for photos on the way…The stage was occupied by at least a dozen mini-“kissers”…Gene,Paul,Ace and Peter look-a-likes!….

But the highlight is when Peter Criss and Gigi came walking out from the side of the stage!….The crowd went crazy!…..Peter made his way behind the stage….The “MC” took a crowd vote for each of the contestants…..but it came down to Corina (lil’ Gene) and Dylan Hayek…(lil’ Peter). With Peter behind both of them … little Corina was posing and flaunting her little tongue … when the crowd response made it clear .. CORINA WAS THE WINNER!!!!

Peter then came over and took a few photos with Corina…and told her she looked GREAT!…but…she did not want to leave the stage!…..LOL…the crowd loved it!…Peter just smiled and laughed…and he began to judge the Adult contest…with Corina still on the stage……..They picked another “Gene” as the winner…the contestants walked off the

stage .. Peter began to give a speech…BUT Corina was still on that stage picking up confetti that was used by a “Paul” contestant!……It was great!!!……

Everyone congratulated her as she came off the stage!…..She was the reigning champion. Thanks to the KISS Expo for a wonderful time had by the Mazzuca Family!!!
