   Poor bride… he dipped back toward the camera and she’s probably worried about getting down-blouse cleavage on film.

   BUT it’s still a very cute shot… for swing dance novices.

   We did this pose at our wedding too. Pretty sure it’s par for the course if you marry a sailor. But at least we are actually kissing! Instead of kind of awkwardly gazing down at your spouse who is probably thinking “OMG dont drop me you can see my cleavage whats that on my foot?!”

   The pose in the original is weird too. Especially the way he holds his left arm

   The second photo was made in Times Square on V-J Day, August 14, 1945, which was the day WWII ended.

   I feel like I’m the only one who doesn’t like the original Kiss photograph. The only enthusiasm is on his side while she’s clenching her fist.

     That’s because they didn’t know eatchuder before the picture was taken. He just grabbed some radom woman and kissed her.
     Personally I think the picture is disgusting because of that.

     apparently he wandered the streets, grabbing random girls and kissing them, the photographer set up his camera and waited. The picture is actually entirely uncomfortable because he’s basically sexually harassing her.

    I love what the original pose became in the Watchmen movie.
