I’ve been posting about the great clothing bargains that can be found post-Labor Day, and I had to share this story with you all. Many of you know that I’m a devoted KISS fan, and while I don’t have too many crossovers between my coupon life and my KISS life, occasionally the two do mix.
Paul Stanley was in town this weekend for his art shows (in addition to being the greatest frontman in rock, he’s also a painter and sculptor) and we were helping out KISSonline at his VIP reception and Telly Award presentation. During the event, someone mentioned they liked the shirt Paul was wearing.
Paul said “Oh! I do too. I bought it yesterday at Macy’s in Chicago after I did the morning news. It was 50% off!”
Love it. Even rock stars enjoy a good sale. Paul went on to say he liked the shirt so much, he hoped there would be time to go to the Macy’s at Woodfield to look for another one. (Smart shoppers do stock up on the things they like!)
My husband suggested we take a quick break and head over there with our friend from KISSonline, as it wasn’t likely Paul would be able to shop before they closed … and that’s how we found ourselves picking out another shirt for our favorite singer.
Which, of course, was also 50% off.

Jill, I find it amazing that You went with all in the family. How great is that? You are teaching your kids to love (or at least like) Kiss and their music..
I’m a big Elvis fan (huge huge )plus I didn’t know how much I like Michael Jackson’s music until he died…so my kids have shared the love that I have for Elvis since they can remember..they can be anywhere and hear an Elvis song (even if somebody else is singing it) they will call it out with pride and tell me that’s an Elvis song.
recently, after MC died – I began to listen to his music over and over..the kids finally started asking me about it..we watched lots of videos in youtube… I feel that sharing the love you have in specific music with your kids creates a nice bond..something that will make them think of you. I’m so happy to sit here and read about your day and see in the picture not just you and the hubby but also all your kids in it. You trully Rock!

Don’t leave us hangin! Did you bring the shirt back for him? What did he say?
By the way, I will never forget the moment I met Gene Simmons over 10 years ago. I never expected it, but I was totally star-struck. He actually asked me if I was OK! Ha!
