So here we are again my friends and I am hoping that this finds you well. I’m back to share a little update about the KPM Adventures in TikTok as another “50” post plateau on the platform has been reached. It’s been just shy of two months since we last discussed this stuff and considering all of the videos that are using space on my mobile this one should have come faster but I was too busy and lost track of my time. I had planned on adding more than a single post per day here but again I slacked and this is not good at all. The main reason is that I will be needing the space on the mobile for some of the upcoming conventions and art fairs since I tend to load up the images from those events. That brings me to this latest milestone which is art in nature. Down on the Highline structure stands a gigantic pigeon statue called “Dinosaur” an while I said “Highline Ballroom” I was nowhere near the now rebranded club. That morning it was chilly and pouring rain and I am really just talking off the top of my head but without any further adieu, behold TikTok #1050.

While off to another adventure I stopped by The High Line to see “Dinosaur” the giant pigeon statue by Ivan Argote. It’s awesome #fyp #foryoupage #thehighline #dinosaur #giantpigeon #ivanargote #publicart #piercingken

Well how about that my friends out there in TikTok land. It seems as though I’m back once again with another step up on the platform and for those who’ve just joined us over here, I am talking about reaching another increment of “50” videos on the TikTok Social Media network. Now to be honest, this is a big one as we have just posted the “1000th” video to our feed and historically speaking have been using this since September of 2022. I created an account on the network at the beginning of 2021 but at that time was just using it to like any of the posts that my friends were doing. I will admit that I went into this quite reluctantly as I didn’t see my brands being something that was Tokworthy. I changed my mind after some discussion with like-minded peers and my having the account under Ken Pierce Media let’s me have a little more creative freedom. So as many of the PiercingMetal readers know, we are always excited when it comes to the band KISS and having these topical items about the band marking our 1000th Video on TikTok was awesome.

Here’s a look at some KISS collection content to come. I’ve secured all of the current “Off The Soundboard” Love CD’s and the famed “End Of The Road” Final Show Parting Gift #fyp #foryoupage #kiss #hotttestbandintheworld #offthesoundboard #endoftheroad #piercingmetal

Once again, it has been a little bit of time since the banner for the Toy Association’s annual “Toy Fair” has hung proudly in the Javits Center. Now I can tell you that a lot has happened since the event in 2023 which was held in the Fall of that year. During the show, they announced that it would be leaving New York City and take place in New Orleans after this one that will begin today at the Javits Center. Fortunately, the decision was reversed and shows for 2025, 2026 and 2027 were locked in and would again be taking place in the winter months. As you know, the general public will not be able to participate in this one and that will find me once again doing double-duty for the PiercingMetal website and “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken” for good measure. Most of you know that with anything that goes online with the two creative angles that another post gets added to the executive branch of my Ken Pierce Media site because that really lets me tie everything together. When I attended that 2023 trade show I felt it was pretty close to being the same as I remembered in the Before Times and this year I am hoping that it has gotten even bigger and better. This years trade show will amount to my 12th Toy Fair and I am really looking forward to seeing the reps that I only get to see IRL when this show comes along. So what is the plan you might ask…

Greetings my dear friends out there in TikTok land, I am saying a very loud and somewhat boisterous “Welcome Back” because I have to admit that I thought when we were doing this the last time back in early January, I felt that it would have been my last broadcast of this nature based on the ban that TikTok was facing. You might recall that the at the time sitting President Biden signed off on banning the social media platform for matters of national security but once Donald Trump defeated him he reviewed this and kept pushing the ban aside. You’re not going to get much politics from me, but I was surely glad that he did that since I felt there were other items overlooked during the Biden presidency that were greater risks to our national security. I am stoked to have gotten right back into the posting of these briefs and now that another increment of “50” has been achieved we can add another notch to our website publishing belt. The short down below comes from the recent NY NOW Gifting Show and one of the booths that I explored. This is called “The Gifting Suite” and many exhibitors leave products to be taken by VIP Buyers and the Media. I love this part of the trade show since it gives me something else to talk about and here now is post #950.
