That's a long arse way to describe someone!

I always liked that picture. What lady doesn't want to be thrown down and kissed like that?

They met again decades later and gave this interview 67 years after the pic was taken.
The sailor George Mendonsa was on a date with another woman and says he had had a few drinks.
He married his date....they are still happily together. I love you

Until just recently, their identities remained a mystery, but with the 67th anniversary of VJ Day coming up Tuesday, the time seemed right for CBS News to reunite them.

The photo is one of the most famous from the 20th century -- a moment filled with such spontaneous euphoria it seemed to last forever.

"It was the moment. You come back from the Pacific, and finally, the war ends," reflects 89-year-old George Mendonsa, who says he's the sailor in the photograph that would come to symbolize the end of the war. The sailor, in uniform, is seen with Greta Friedman, a nurse, in her white uniform.

As the perfect strangers embraced and kissed, world famous photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt snapped four pictures, taking only ten seconds to do so.

Having seen nurses patch up his friends, and just hearing the news he wouldn't have to ship out again, he planted one on the first nurse he found.

I've just always wondered what was going on with his left arm, looks like he's putting her into a choke hold Smile

It's interesting to read about the people in iconic images....for eg the sailors date is smiling in the background of the picture....she says she didn't mind at all that he grabbed the nurse, I suppose feelings were so joyous back then trivialities didn't matter.
They went on to wed though....which is lovely.

True Mags....I knew one lovely man who was given a written warning because he called some female 'love' in the office.
Some women are VERY touchy nowadays.

But as this thread is about iconic pictures....this one always touches me. I read  that the man was never identied. Somewhere else I read he was a student and killed shortly after this pic was taken.

Unidentified man stands in front of tanks in Tiananmen Square....1989.
