Angel Kiss holds concerts in Tahoe and Vegas
and launches the Angel Kiss Renewal Grant
Program
Don't forget to move your mouse over pictures
for a description "Hello"?, I answered the phone.
"Tory is that you", I heard a voice
say over the static on the line. "Yes", who is this", I answered.
"It is Mela, silly", I heard the
voice on the other end reply. "Where
the hell are you"? I did not answer right away, but paused to
remember all I knew of Mela. I was so very
disoriented and not quite sure who I was.
"I am at the Clown Motel in Tonopah,
Nevada", I finally said. "Well we are all in Lake Tahoe and we
have a concert day after tomorrow, are you
coming"?
"Yes, can I call you back", I asked,
"I'll be there". I hung up. I sat down on the orange clown bedspread,
which had not been slept in, and tried to
gather my thoughts. I knew I was Tory, and I knew that Mela was
special to me, but I could not figure out
the Cheerleader outfit and the guitar - or
why I was out and about without my trademarked
wings and halo. I had no suitcase and my
only other possesion (besides the ridiculous
poms poms) was my Nick I.D. Card which was
tucked into my red hose. I decided to skip checking out of the Motel
since I had no idea how I got there or if
I had even paid. I knew enough to know that
Lake Tahoe was West of Nevada so I headed
out to Highway95 and threw my thumb out for a ride, hoping
that being an Avatar would not be a problem
in getting a lift. After standing in the quickly warming Nevada
sun for what seemed like hours, I realized
I was hitch hiking on the wrong side of the
road. I was major confused. I was finally picked up by trucker from Wendover,
Utah hauling cattle. He was a nice man, and
we chatted about what an Avatar was, why
I kinda looked like a cartoon and my odd
outfit. As we talked, I began to remember
things about my life and who I was. "I
am in a band, called Angel Kiss", I
blurted out for no apparent reason. Then,
as the two of us headed West with 16 Black
Angus cows, I began to recall.
I laid back in the rumbling truck seat as
Grant Lee Buffalo played on the radio and
pretended to fall asleep. I used the quiet
time to sort my thoughts.
"I am Tory - I am an Angel in Moove
- I own and operate a Fashion Magazine with
Mela, and last month Skye and the Designers had a fund-
raising auction to replace one of my private
Jets which crashed in Mongolia". I organized
the memories as if I were putting files in
a file cabinet.
"Since the insurance company paid for
the loss of Angel One, I had decided with
Mela to start a charity grant program called
Angel Kisses. The band Angel Kiss was to bring attention
to Moove and the new Grant Program through
our Global Domination Tour which was kicking
off in Lake Tahoe at Harrah's." It was
all coming back to me in a flood of thoughts
and recollections. I began to feel myself
relax and I drifted off to sleep. I did not dream. "Wake up little missy", I heard
a deep voice say and I felt a hand shaking
my shoulder. "This is where I turn off
for Highway 50, and trust me when I tell
ya that Highway 50 is no place for a lady
hitch hiking". "They don't call
it the Loneliest Road in the world for nuthin'".
He pulled off just before the Junction and
I thanked him for the ride. As I was getting
out, he reached his hand out and said , "Miss,
I want you to take this". I saw that
he had a pair of $20.00 bills in his rough
right hand. "I really couldn't",
I replied smiling, "but thank you so
very much". "Listen little lady,
I trust my instincts and I can tell by your
hands, your outfit and the way you hold yourself,
you are no ordinary hitch hiker - so take
it and if you can help someone else along
the way, then pass the kindness along".
I took the money and got back into the cab
of the truck and kissed the nice man softly
on the cheek. "You are loved",
I whispered. He blushed a teenie bit, I think. I stood in the heat of the late afternoon
and watched as the truck turned left at the
Junction and dissapeared out of sight. Knowing
that the sun would be sinking in a few hours
and seeing no sign of car, truck, mule or
motorcycle, I started walking West.
I walked for about three hours and did not
see one car. I did see a crashed flying saucer
(go figure) but after the oddities I had
seen over the past month, well.....a little
green man with antennas did not really seem
strange. I hitched a ride on a tractor with
a rancher for a few miles at 16 MPH, but
other than that, it was one lonely stretch
of American Highway. As the sun dropped in
the West, setting the Nevada desert afire
with deep reds and blazing orange, I decided I needed
to find a place to camp for the night. It
was going to be a cold night but with no
cell phone and no town in sight, I really
had no choice I found a flat place close to the road circled
by pinyon and did my nightly meditation and
prayers. As the darkness engulfed me and the stars began to appear, I rested my head on my guitar where I could
keep an eye on the road looking East and
laid down . As each star popped into view, I thought
how much alike these stars were to the "NOOBs"
who had popped into the room where the Guardian
had spoken to us. Just as the stars poof
in and out and move from place to place in
our view from this Earth, so do the residents
of Moove . No matter where the stars are in the sky,
they are still stars
- and no matter where,
or what group the
residents of Moove
belong
too, they are still
the same Avatars
- the
same friends. I pondered
this for a long
while until I heard
a distant rumbling. I looked East out into the darkness and caught
a faint glimmer of a light. I jumped up and
ran to the edge of the Highway and watched
as the light came closer. It seemed like
hours as the light slowly reached me; and
when the faint glow of the headlight hit
my Cheerleader outfit, I began to wave my
arms wildly. The light was coming from a
motorcycle and it slowed down as the rider
saw me waving. I raised my arm to shield
my eyes from the light as the motorbike came
to a stop a few feet in front of me. "Well I'll be a pet monkey in a five
dollar circus", I heard a familiar voice
say. "Rider"? I squealed. "OMGAWD
- I can't believe it", I added. "
Mela and Demoneyes
had me come looking
for
you", replied
Rider, "Mela
has
been worred sick
since she spoke to
you this
morning". He
reached back

and flipped the foot pegs down and said,
"hop on, let's
get you to Tahoe".
We rumbled off into
the darkness. I smiled
as the cool desert
air blew through my hair
and I thought of
Rider driving more than
350 miles on a lonely
desert highway to come
get me. "I have
the most wonderful friends",
I mumbled to myself.
We reached Stateline,
Nevada on the South
shore of Lake Tahoe a
just before dawn. I checked into Harrah's and found Mela still
sleeping on the couch in her clothes. On
the coffee table was a wonderful arrangement
of flowers with a card from Daleela and Honeybear
wishing us good luck on the concert. I was
tickled to see a closet full of my designer
outfits and my makeup case. Life was getting
back to normal. After a quick shower, I wrapped
myself in the soft robe from the Hotel, ordered
some breakfast from room service and curled
up and watched Good Morning America. Mela awoke a few hours later and I think
I scared the bejesus out of her, cause she
almost fell into the mini bar before giving
me a bear hug that almost popped my head
off. Once I saw Mela, I forgot all about
the Guardian and my contribution in ripping
the fabric that seperates real from Moove.
Mela showered and we sat in our robes to
talk about the Angel Kiss Program. With 1.7 million dollars of grant money raised
by the Designers in Moove, Mela suggested
that the Crystal Angel match the amount which
will raise total fund close to 3.5 million.
"That is a good start Tory, but we need
to find a Board of Directors", Mela
warned. We decided we needed seven members
of our Board of Trustees and they should
remain anonymous to the residents of Moove
and each other - and come from all walks
of life and lifestyles. We also decided that
neither Mela or myself would have a vote
in deciding if the Grant was to be awarded.
Angel Kiss Grant Renewal Program Details:
Grants will be available
beginning January
1st, 2008 and up

need not be repayed,
but donations are always
accepted.
Mela and I made some calls to a few of our
Guides and Mentors
in Moove to see if
we
were on the track,
we then dressed and
hit
the Casino downstairs.
We both made a beeline
for the Wheel of
Fortune slot game
and ordered
a free bloody Mary
from the "oh
so cute"
cocktail waitress.
I took out one of
the
$20.00 bill the truck
driver gave me back
in Nevada and slipped
it into the machine.
The three spinning wheels went around and
around and the first one stopped on the Wheel
of Fortune picture.....DONG...then the second
wheel stopped.....DONG, another Wheel of
Fortune pic and then the third. As it spun
I watched and then it happened. It stopped
just above the line that would have won the prize they call a progressive........darn,
oh well I still get to spin the Wheel for
more money. "Wheel of Fortune" the machine hollered and just as I
was about to hit the button to spin the wheel,
a odd thing happened. The machine jiggled the third pic and all
three Wheel of Fortune
pics lined up. Bells
went off and lights
flashed. I was sure I
was getting arrested
for something and checked
to make sure I had
my Nick ID. A crowd gathered
and were all cheering
me, but I had no idea
what had happened. I looked over at Mela and she was jumping
up and down like
a kangaroo on a trampoline
and hollering WOO
HOO WOO HOO. "WHAT", I yelled at her. "TORY, you just won 1.6 million dollars
you nut". she yelled back still bouncing
up and down. Well, I freaked out then too. I figure Mela
and I would still
be bouncing like super
balls if the Casino
lady had not come up
and turned off the
bells and whistles and
told Mela and I to
follow her. We went with
her to a back room
and everyone was smiling
and clapping. It
was tooooo kewl. They told
me that I had won
$1,674,053.00 dollars in
REAL money, not CC's.
I was still freaking
when they asked for
my Nick ID and told me
I was the first Avatar
to win anything big
outside of those
computer Casinos. I finally
gained my composure
and they wrote me a HUGE
check and took a
bunch of pics of me - for
advertising I think.
One of the best parts of being a Moove Avatar
is that we do not
have to pay taxes
in real,
so the whole amount
was mine..LOLOL...ALL
MINE. I immediatly
called TorLa headquarters
to have the money
wired into our Moove
account
and then had the
operator connect
me to TorLa
Security. First Gladiator answered and I told them
what I knew of the kind trucker and asked
if he could locate him, and when he did to
alert the account manager at the Moove bank
to wire him $850,000.00 and a dozen roses.
It seemed the only right thing to do since
it was his kind $20.00 gift that made those
"oh-so-lovely" Wheel of Fortune
Pics line up. Mela and I then wandered around, kinda in
a daze really. We found our waitress and
drank a shot of Jaeger toasting the truck
driver and Black Angus cows. We tipped her
$200.00 and from then on, where ever we went,
she was right behind us. It was like having
our very own, personal (waaaay hot) cocktail
waitress. I don't think it was the tip really
- I think that it was Mela looking totally
scrumptious in a Littlith black and ruby
outfit. After playing some Blackjack and some Chinese
poker I never understood, Latin Princess
rang my cell and asked us to meet her at
Harvey's Casino and Hotel in the small bar
off the lobby. We crossed the street and
met with my dear cousin while we sipped a
glass of wine. Latin Princess handed me a certified letter which
I carefully read. It was an offer from the Manager of the Spice
Girls asking if Latin would be interested
in joining the all girl group as "Avatar
Spice". "OMGAWD dear Prima, this
is wonderful, are you going to take it"? Latin Princess smiled at me, and said, "no,
but I am leaving Angel Kiss for a bit after
this concert". I thought she was going
to cry. "I have decided to be the first
Avatar to join Americorps in their "National Civilian Community
Corps" program.
My dear cousin then
went on to tell us
that she had a dream
about
a Guardian and a
rip in the fabric
between
real and Moove and
when she woke up,
she
knew what she had
to do. Mela and I understood and hugged Latin Princess
and we all decided that the Tahoe Concert
would RIP the roof off Harrah's. We all headed
back to our fancy rooms to get ready. After hanging up my wings and putting on
my sexy Cheerleader Outfit and tuning my
ENZO, I met with Tina Marie, Mela and Latin
Princess for a another quick shot of Jaeger,
just to take the edge off, and to toast our
Global Domination Tour. We wiped our mouths,
checked our make-up and headed to the South
Shore Room where our show as to be held. After finding our way back stage, we peeked
out to see if anyone showed up and almost
fainted. It was a standing room only crowd.
I started to get scared a bit, but then I
saw a group of Avatars in the first couple of rows. Princess Sherry, Catwoman,
Twisted Dragon and Pagan - Ray Rad, Rider,
Sweet Jenn, Samantha Sings, Livid, Dana,
Auntie Wood, MysteryMan, KY and JoJo and
dozens more. I relaxed just as the host of
the show, yelled: "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE WELCOME
TO THE SOUTH SHORE BALLROOM THE HOTTEST BAND
ON THE CIRCUIT, THE BEAUTIES OF BAD, THE
AVATARS THAT ROCK, GIVE A WARM HARRAH'S WELCOME
TO ANGEL KISSSSSSSSSSS"! The crowd went nutso as we kicked into "Good
Girls" (last
song to play on this page),
with Tina Marie performing
flawlessly on
the drums. I had
only been on stage for Fashion
Shows and magazine
stuff, but this was different.
This was 2000 people
just looking at us,
watching every move
we made, every chord
and note we struck.
As the crowd clapped and hollered, we played
"Definitely Maybe" and then geared down a bit to "Big Shoes" with a flow right into "Girl of Your Dreams" and then "I Kissed a Girl". Everything just started to come natural,
like practicing in Moove the week before
in our bath robes. I loved it and I could tell by the grins and smiles coming
from the other band members and the crowd,
that they were enjoying it too. We rocked out for three hours, sweating like
prize hogs and enjoying every second of it.
Exausted, we only found enough strength for
two encores and closed out with a medly of
songs. The crowd sang along and except for
the bonfire and marshmallows, it could have
been a a Pep Rally for Homecoming. After the show, we all went and showered
(not together, silly)
and freshened up for
a night out on the
town, making sure we did
not drink too much
so we would be healthy
for the next day
of skiing. Our first Angel Kiss show brought in almost
$30,000.00 in ticket
and merchandise sales
and we ACTUALLY were
asked for autographs
by fans. We were
cracking up. When
we got
back to the room,
we had two messages.
One
from the House of
Blues in the Mandalay
Bay
in Las Vegas and
one from Auntie Craftie
Lady. Both were good
news and bode well
for
"Global Domination
Tour".
