The Kiss in Times Square


What an iconic photograph, no?

Apparently, the sailor, after returning from World War II, went around kissing every girl he encountered in Time Square. As it happens, this nurse slapped him.

I love this photograph, and I love it about 10,000 times more now that I know that this was some sort of bizarre sekuhara sailor on a rampage. And that the lady had her revenge.

I'll post about the most famous photograph, possibly of all history, next. :)

:D can't wait


And, despite knowing the backstory, I still read into it all our confused notions of spontaneous romance and devoted love.
