Book Review - Sealed With A KISS
by Christa Titus
www.blistering.com
When singer/guitarist Paul Stanley thought of the name "KISS" for his band in 1973, drummer Peter Criss' then-wife, Lydia, wasn't convinced. The group "wanted everyone to remember them just as they remembered their first KISS," she writes in "Sealed With A KISS." "My reaction was the name was too soft, too girlish. Shows what I know."
Turns out she knows a lot. Lydia lived the rock star wife's dream of watching her husband rise to stardom, rubbing shoulders with celebrities like Alice Cooper, buying a mansion as her starter home and partying the nights away. She also suffered the spousal nightmare of infidelity, divorce, legal hassles and financial hardship. Having survived both sides of the coin to become a professional photographer, Lydia looks back on her life in a self-published tome that completely cleans the vaults. Her history is presented in a four-color tome designed like a high school yearbook crossed with a tour program that can sit on a shelf next to the family album.
