Paul Stanley returns to Dubai for the third time

Wonder if he’s going to get the live album, DVD and fan packages finished and sent out to all the $uckers who paid for them in 2020?

He had to post this to secure his free stay, otherwise he’d never remind people of Dubai…

I don't get why he would visit a country where they'd want to exterminate him if they had the chance.....

He takes his wig on vacation? Does he wear it thru airport security if he flies commercial or does he have to take it off? How does he pack it? It looks a little rumpled. Does he iron it out or take a few spares along? Not sure Dubai is a place where you can just buy the right wig if you are in a pinch.

Soul Station? That room is the penthouse suite at the Royal. The infinity pool is his private pool. Seems stupid when rich MFers post shit like that but pretend to be a man of the PEE-PULL. You can't see the room rate on the Royal's site. You have to submit an inquiry. Paul can suck a choad. Again.

In Dubai you can buy anything. If they don't have it they'll get it for you but only if you pay enough.

I'm trying to figure out the outfit. It's going on midnight and in the 70s at this moment. It had to be scorching when he primped and posed, wearing a long-sleeved shirt (or maybe that's his pool dress), and the running shoes are an odd choice while posing on one's swanky private infinity pool balcony. For a person who thinks he's the cat's meow, his style is bizarre.

I've grown to realize that people who actively post about how "grateful and humble" they are, are rarely grateful and humble.

Paul's routine is insufferable. I came across his "One Live Kiss" concert on YouTube a few days ago. It begins with a (totally unnecessary) voiceover with Paul talking about how he came from nothing (ie. a regular family in a regular neighborhood) and didn't want to be like everyone else and now he's super rich and famous.

It's one thing to be aspirational. It's another to be a narcissist asshole.

And yes, the Dubai post is 100% an ad. Most people post casual photos with their family members when on vacation, not staged shots that focus on the hotel and barely mention the family in passing.

I was thinking the same thing. I’ve never understood the appeal of the UAE for Western and American classic rock acts over the last twenty years.

Totally. Did he get away with not putting the "sponsored" tag up because it was in trade and not paid? Or does the FTC just not give a fuck anymore.

There's no law that you have to disclose sponsored posts online. Some influencers do it for "transparency" cred, but they don't have to. (And a lot don't.)

No chance anyone paid Mr Miss for this
Mr Miss thinks this is cool cause it’s something Andrew Tate would do

Kiss = Dubai
Rammstein= Laguna Beach

Honestly, I have no idea where you draw the line. Does "free" equal "sponsored"? And who qualifies as an influencer?

If a restaurant gives me free food and I post a photo of it online without a disclaimer, am I breaking the law?

I live in Vegas. If I get a free ticket to show and post a video of it ... is that "sponsored"? There's a lot of gray area here.

When I first saw the poolside picture I had to do a double-take because from that distance he looks a lot like Michael Jackson

Yeh, the fact that there a zillion influencers, and no resources to police them prolly means they mostly do whatever they want.

However, I brought it up, because Paul's stay might be in the $50,000 range? Thats quite different from a microinfluencer showing off their new makeup kit they got for free.

Nope. UAE isn't like that. Perhaps you are thinking of Afghanistan?
