While scanning Gene Simmons’ personal website for “Headline News,” we came across a letter from a girl who wants to be a "part-time plus-size model," seeking wisdom from longtime model enthusiast Gene. Simmsy illustrated his advice—“don’t put all your eggs in one basket”—with some personal resume history: “By the time KISS started, I had a BACHELOR OF ARTS [Gene’s caps] degree in Education...taught sixth grade for a short time...worked as the Assistant to the Editor at Vogue and Glamour magazines...worked as the Assistant to the Director of the Puerto Rican InterAgency Association...”
One question: Puerto Rican InterAgency Association? What the hell is that? Did he make it up? Google reveals nothing. Anybody know? While mulling, gawk at the above vintage Simmons on the great Mike Douglas Show featuring this exchange:
Mike: “Are you a bat?”
Gene: “Actually, what I am is evil incarnate.”
Actually, what you are is an idiot.
