The Kiss...

My favorites are vintage photos from forties and fifties about pin-up girls and sailors.

There is a photo that I like particularly and it is called “the kiss”. It is very famous, and it is about a kiss between a sailor boy and a nurse girl and it was taken on the V-J Day, Aug. 14, 1945 -- World War II was finally over and everybody were celebrate in the New York's Times Square. This photo was taken by a photographer from the “LIFE” magazine called Alfred Eisentaedt.

I love this photo because I think it is so beautiful and perfect, I like the black and white and the old costumes. Also I like this one because there is a mystery about it. Nobody knows who are the sailor and the nurse; so many people have said that they were and even many facial experts have participated in this search, but there is not enough evidence to prove who the real couples are.

I think we will never know the truth, but it is ok because the mystery makes this photo more interesting.

Personally I really enjoy taking photos; actually it is one of my favorite hobbies.  Now I do not have a camera because mine does not work, but I always use my boyfriend`s camera and we take it anywhere we go.

In addition I like to draw these old photos, and I collect old magazines form USA and I have some Chilean old magazine too form the forties, fifties and sixties, because I like the vintage fashion and the kind of hairstyle from those photos.

 

I add to this post the famous photo “The Kiss”, that in fact is my profile photo since I made this blog, and a draw (I am sorry if it has not good quality) and a photo of mine.

Paedophilia in the church...

That is a very difficult topic. Personally I think that paedophilia cases in the church are not an exception, probably before this cases were hidden and now are exposes because people are most prepared to denounce without fear.

 It is terrible, but I think there is a paedophilia ring in the catholic church, and I say that because some time ago I read in a newspaper about a handbook founded in a brasilian church that explain how to abuse kids, particularly, poor kids.

Priests are men just like any man, so chastity are not good because it is not natural or healthy for anyone, and I am sure that this is the main reason of the paedophilia.

I don´t know for sure if the catholic church is loosing followers, but actually I hope that happens because it is impossible to keep the same confidence to the priests now.  I know how important is spirituality in a person life`s, and I agree we can believe anything but we need to understand that priests are not saints or something like that, they are persons just like us, and even worse.  

In fact the bible says in a passage that we can find god in anywhere, even under a stone, so it is not necessary to go to the church.
