Sophie Simmons' Sweet 16 Set for Season IV?

Last week, the Gene Simmons Family Jewels crew filmed the so-called birthday party of Gene's daughter Sophie, in Los Angeles, CA, which is apparently to be broadcast next March as the series' season première.

My assumption is that this would be Sophie's Sweet 16 party. According to several online sources, Sophie's birth date is July 7th, 1992, which would mean she's been 16 for nearly four months now.

With reality shows such as MTV's My Super Sweet 16, it seems to be the likely premise for the Simmons family's own reality show. Perhaps Sophie and her mother Shannon Tweed play a role in getting Gene to go overboard. Regardless of that speculation, Sophie will no doubt come off much classier than the brats on MTV, I'm sure.

Professional makeup artist Nicolle Landre was hired for the event, and will appear on the episode. In a recent interview with the Modesto Bee, Landre said "I'm not really comfortable with it. I wore black, if that says anything. I really like being behind the scenes."
Her most noteable work to date includes doing body paint on the famous "painted ladies" of the Playboy Mansion for events by companies that rent the mansion for use.

Gene Simmons Halloween Costumes

One of the things that made KISS bassist Gene Simmons (as well as the rest of the band) so popular to begin with was the outfit. The Demon, Starchild, Space Ace and Catman were each incredibly designed characters with their own unique wardrobes and makeup.

Many fans of Gene have worn some form of "Demon" costume to concerts, and a whole lot more have surely given tribute to "The Demon" by wearing one for Halloween.

Around this time of year, Mr. Simmons is sure to make a killing off his unbelievably marketable persona.

Below is a number of items for those of you looking for Gene Simmons Halloween Costumes.

Gene Simmons Makeup

As you already know, the makeup is the most important and distinguishing feature of the Gene Simmons "Demon" look, unless of course you are adamant about the distinctness of The Demon's extemely long tongue!

Cinema Secrets' KISS EZ Makeup FX includes cream makeup, applicator brush, sponge, puff, setting powder, detailed instructions, and is an officially licensed KISS™ product.

Masks

A more pricey option is the KISS Demon Collector's Mask. This shares a more exceptional likeness to the facial features of the real Gene Simmons. It was sculpted, hand painted, and even comes with the hair and tongue. This is also an officially licensed KISS™ product. Being a collector's mask, it may not be suitable for Halloween costumes, so buy at your own risk.

A mask more suitable for Halloween would be the Official KISS Demon Half Mask, made of durable latex with a 1" elastic band and a foam nose piece.

Hair

The Adult's Kiss Halloween Costume Wig captures the style of The Demon's hair quite well.

Gene Simmons Costumes

The Deluxe Adult Kiss Costume. Sizes Adult Standard or Adult XLarge.

Costume Accessories
