Most Kisses Received in One Minute Guinness Record set by Anastasia

Anastasia entered the legendary GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ book this Valentine’s weekend breaking the record for Most Kisses Received in One Minute. Scores of Ukrainian beauties turned out for the passionate event at Club YO! in Odessa where they delivered 118 lip-smackers to an elated member of international dating site AnastasiaDate.com. Proceeds raised by the charity event will be donated to the Ukrainian Red

Cross Society.

The kiss-off took place on Saturday, February 12 during Anastasia’s Valentine’s Romance Tour to the magnificent Black Sea resort where the new record, 118 kisses, surpassed the previous one of 112 set in

2009. Two lines of super smoochers made certain of the salacious record as an electrified crowd watched.

Over 400 guests on hand included hundreds of local Anastasia Ladies plus Romance Tour members, Ukrainian TV news channels and a journalist from Askmen.

On hand to adjudicate, GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ official Lisa Gills said, “It’s been a crazy day, it’s been really good fun seeing everyone come together, everyone’s team work in breaking this record: Brian, Anastasia, all the girls that were involved today. It’s fantastic for Odessa because I don’t think Odessa had a

record and now they do.”

Anastasia’s Ladies from Odessa proved once again that they’re great fun, spirited and the most effective kissers around. Lucky record breaker Brian described the affectionate beauties at the event as “Clearly the most beautiful women in the world – kind, smart, lovely all-around.” He added “It’s just a great experience and I would recommend it to anybody.”

The entertaining fund-raiser was staged in aid of the Ukrainian Red Cross Society which cares for orphans and street children, refugees and other disadvantaged members of society. The donation will come from a slice of the funds raised during Anastasia’s Valentine’s Live Chat-a-thon.

The title from GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ makes something official that we’ve always known – Anastasia is full of the most passionate Ladies in the world…

Thai Couples Break Longest Kiss Guinness World Record

A Thai couple has made history with the longest kiss ever during a Valentine's Day "kissathon" after they locked lips for 46 hours, 24 minutes and nine seconds.

Organizers of the event, which took place at a southern beach resort town, claim it marked the longest recorded smooch in history.

"We didn't think we would find anybody that could break the record," CBS News quoted Somporn Naksuetrong, the manager of Pattaya's Louis Tussaud's Waxworks museum, which organized the competition, as saying.

Fourteen couples had started off the contest at 6 a.m. on February 13, and by February 14 afternoon, half had already beaten the record and were still smooching away on the corridor of an oceanside shopping mall in Pattaya.

A Bangkok couple, Ekkachai and Laksana Tiranarat, emerged as the winner, and they were awarded a diamond ring worth 50,000 Thai Baht (1,606 dollars), and a cash prize of 100,000 Baht (3,213 dollars).

According to Guinness World Records, whose officials will have to verify the latest milestone for it to become official, the previous record of just over 32 hours had been set by a couple in Germany in 2009.

The rule for the kissathon is that couples should lock lips all the time, and if they wish to have a drink they have to do so using straws while continuing the kiss.

And if they wish to use the bathroom, they have to continue embracing each other, while accompanied by contest monitors. But the harshest rule was no sitting or sleeping.

Most Kisses in One Minute World Record set by DJ Paul Winstanley

SHOPPERS in Blackburn have created a new world record — for most kisses in one minute.

DJ Paul Winstanley, 28, said he was “all kissed-out” after he was smooched 110 times in just 60 seconds outside The Mall in Blackburn.

He enlisted the help of 20 women and girls in the bid which saw him kissed on average more than three times per second.

Paul, who lives in Mellor, stepped in at the last minute after his colleague at The Bee radio station Andy Cook had to pull out after developing a throat ulcer.

He said: “It was great fun and I actually can’t believe that we got the record.

"My girlfriend Liz was here watching and I would like to apologise to her for kissing so many girls.

"I think I owe her a box of chocolates!”

The event, which took place yesterday afternoon in King William Street, was filmed and will be sent off to the official adjudicators at Guinness World Records for the record to be confirmed.

The record attempt saw a line of women give Paul a peck on the cheek before rejoining the end of the queue for another kiss.

Couples kiss in Mexico City set World Record

Mexico City puckered up to set a new record Saturday as nearly 40,000 people locked lips in the city center for the world's largest group kiss.

Carlos Martinez of Guinness World Records verified the record of 39,897 people who entered the gated kissing area of the city's Zocalo main square on Valentine's Day, besting Weston-super-Mare, an English town that set the previous kissing record in 2007.

"We did it! Long live Mexico," said Mexican singer-actress Susana Zavaleta, who serenaded the crowd before the kiss with the classic Mexican ballad, "Besame Mucho," or "Kiss Me a Lot" — also the name of the event.

The Valentine's Day kiss was meant to show love at a time when a crackdown against drug traffickers has led to widespread violence across the country. At least 6,000 people died in drug-related conflicts in 2008.

"More than 35,000 will simultaneously kiss to show that warmth and love are at the core of this capital, the heart of the Mexican Republic," the city's tourism department, which organized the gathering, said in a statement.

The event "is aimed at changing people's attitudes toward human relations, especially between couples, so that respect, equity and tolerance are at the center of any relationship," the statement said.

The giant Zocalo, which can hold 100,000 people, was half-filled as mostly young couples embraced and held one another in a lip lock for 10 seconds.

The kiss was delayed for several hours as organizers waited for people to gather.
As the crowd grew, city workers in cupid wings offered hugs, teenage boys carried signs volunteering their kissing services and couples practiced openly in a country that surprises many with its pervasive public displays of affection.

"We love demonstrating our love in front of everyone and in front of our family," said Lucia Gutierrez, 38, who spent the afternoon rehearsing with Vicente Romero, 34, her boyfriend of 10 months. "There's nothing bad about showing your love."

Benito Zavala, 53, who works in a store nearby, said he didn't have time to go home to get his wife. So he planned to help set the record with his 2-year-old Chihuahua, Onix, who was licking his lips.

"It's a good idea because a lot of people feel the need to share their affection," Zavala said. "They already do it in the Metro, in the street, so I think it's best if they all do it together."

The event also included workshops on violence-free relationships and AIDS prevention.
As soon as the kissing stopped, participants started chanting "Cente!" the nickname for Mexico's most popular ranchera singer, Vicente Fernandez, who followed the smooch-fest with a free concert.

Kissletoe 2008 - Most Couples Kissing Simultaneously World Record

To help kick off this year's holiday season, on November 15, Bloom supermarkets will sponsor an attempt to break the Guinness World Record(TM) for most couples kissing simultaneously at Furman University's Paladin Stadium in Greenville, S.C. The Bloom attempt, dubbed "Kissletoe 2008," will be the featured halftime event during the Paladins' final home football game, against archrival Georgia Southern University. The game will be televised to approximately nine million viewers on Fox Sports' FSN South, kicking off at 3 p.m.

"We can't wait to attempt to break this fun world record with Furman's students, fans and the entire Upstate community," said Robin Johnson, Director of Marketing and Brand Development for Bloom. "Bloom is always looking for novel, creative ways to engage our local communities in our unique culture of being straightforward, thoughtful, and optimistic in everything we do--inside and outside of our stores. We challenged our advertising agency partner, Boone Oakley (of Charlotte) to help us find an unusual way to help the Upstate usher in the Holidays, and they brought us the Kissletoe idea. Of course, we 'embraced' the idea immediately!"

The existing record of 6,980 couples (13,960 participants) was set in Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina, on September 1, 2007. However, Greenville's attempt to break Tuzla's kissing record faces significant logistical hurdles, and Bloom invites community members to bring a date to Furman's November 15 football game to cheer the Paladins and take part in this potentially historic event. Guinness verification requires all qualifying kisses to be on the lips and last at least ten seconds.

To pack the minimum 13,962 sweethearts into a stadium that seats 16,000, Bloom will distribute thousands of two-sided, boy/girl, Kissletoe invitations to Furman University students beginning November 5, along with a 15-foot, giant sprig of mistletoe that will be hoisted outside of the school's student center that day. Additionally, Bloom will distribute promotional Kissletoe air fresheners, both at the game and at the seven Upstate Bloom supermarkets located in Anderson, Greenville, Greer, Mauldin, Seneca and Simpsonville.

"This is one of the more unique sponsorship activities we've been involved with," stated David Nunnery, General Manager of the Furman Sports Network, a division of IMG College that manages the multi-media rights for Furman. "We think this is a fun event that will generate a lot of excitement around the city and bring added exposure to an already big game at Furman."

World Records of 100 strong kissing chain

A French group set up a 100-strong 'kissing chain' in New York's Union Square over the weekend, in an attempt to set a new world record.
Organised by the Institute Bonne Heure, the kissing chain - which saw each person in the line kiss each of their neighbours - was intended to "spread happiness and freedom", according to one participant. The group's attempt has yet to be verified by the Guinness Book of World Records.
