10 Kisses
Celebrating 10 years of KISS
In 1999 KISS was born.
In 2005 the booklet 'KISS AND TELL: members speak out' was written and edited by KISS to celebrate over 5 years of the group’s existence.
In 2009 KISS is celebrating its 10th birthday.
We wanted to record the multiple ways in which KISS has touched the lives of members - members who joined in 1999 to the newest members; members who regularly attend KISS events to those who occasionally dip in and out; and members who are ‘out there’ to those who aren’t.
Two Kiss members have put together the '10 Kisses' project recording memories and thoughts about the past ten years. Here are the results...
The Big Discussion: Kiss over the past ten years
In June 2008, a number of Kiss girls got together to reflect on the past years of Kiss, and reminisce about their personal and collective highlights.

Party time!
In 2009 we celebrated our 10th birthday at years at the London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival in April following a screening of the film 'I Can't Think Straight'. It was great to see so many people there!
