All Things Vintage: Kisses AprilA2Z

Posted on April 13, 2016

Good-morning and welcome back, kittens and dawgs for another edition of All Things Vintage!

Famous kiss
Camera that captures famous kiss in Time Square sells for $150,000. Read about it, here.

This photo is perhaps one of the most famous kisses. I enjoyed reading the history behind this moment is in this article at The Telegraph.  Normally, I share my own pictures with my Wordless Wednesday network, but I’m participating in the #AprilA2Z challenge, and if that’s what brings you here today, then you’re welcome to link your URL at the bottom. Since you’re here, I hope you enjoy these vintage photographed kisses.

    I love the hair styles of the girls in the picture with the man with lip prints all over his face. The one girl on the left looks like she’s finding it disgusting that the other girl is kissing him. haha

    My most favorite of all of these photos is of the baby kissing the puppy. Just precious!

    Thanks for another great post and the link to the sailor kiss photo story. 🙂

    Have a blessed day!

      Srivi, Kisses are a universal language affection. Kisses give comfort, speeds healing, and makes one happy inside. I think everyone should get a kiss a day to keep the doctor away. 😀

    I get at least two at the bus stop every morning!! Ha. They would fall under the cut…. and often wet variety. My son stands at the other end of the bus line and gives a subtle nod of his head — so I will enjoy the two from daughters as long as I have them. LOL
    As for Left Brain – well he’s been working a lot and away, so I suspect the next one will be a loooooooong one. haha.
    I love that soldier one – what a great moment in history.

      Les, Well I expect you to get lots of those sweet, messy kisses since you still have young ones. After they getting older, then it becomes a painstaking, embarrassing job. They forget how much they enjoyed doing it and don’t think about how important it means to Mom. Those long kisses are the best! I think it’s great when couples kiss like they did when they dated, you know? That keeps the passion alive in a relationship.

    Kisses are an important part of being affectionate with one another. As for getting or receiving kisses, I can’t recall the last time, probably ten years ago or something like that. If you don’t count my sisters kissing me hello on the cheek.

    Hi, dear Cathy!

    I really enjoyed seeing all these vintage photos of various types of kisses. My favorite is the little girl kissing her puppy because innocent, unconditional love is the kind I most admire. We were discussing Dinah Shore recently and I’d like to remind you that she ended every episode of her TV program by blowing a kiss at the audience, much the same as Marilyn is doing in the pic you posted. Did you know that there is a huge statue in Sarasota commemorating the historic photo of the sailor giving the nurse the Unconditional Surrender Kiss? I have driven past it many times and, needless to say, it’s a real attention grabber. Some locals love it and some hate it:

    If I’m not mistaken, your last picture is from the movie From Here To Eternity (or is it From Here To Maternity? 🙂

    Thank you very much for a great post about kisses, dear friend Cathy!

      Tom, I love all kinds of kisses, but the little girl kissing her puppy is the cutest, sweetest of them all. The innocence of little girl kisses are simply precious and I loved it when my once little daughters filled my face with them. Thanks for the link to the statue of sailor kissing the nurse. I think it’s rather nice. I think I would like it better if it were an all bronze, but regardless I think it’s really neat and would love to see it in person. Oh yeah, the last picture of the kissing scene on the beach is from Here to Eternity, but your title is better. lol
