Ahoy Sailor!

There has been a large influx of sailors to Southern Charm lately. They all seem to be assembling in the ports of the sim, making eyes and pouting their lips at all men who are passing by.

"Do you think they could be, you know, uhmm.... professionals?", the Duke of Erat whispered to his consort the laird when they passed by one of them on their morning walk.
"Whaddaya mean by professionals? Speak out, man, use your words.", the laird replied irritably. He never appreciated mincing words or riddles.
"Well, you know..." the duke waved vaguely.
"No, I don't, or I wouldn't have asked, sweetums. Now speak clearly or shut up!"
"Do you think that they could - maybe, possibly - be whores?", the duke tried again with a deep red blush on his handsome face.
"Oh that! Well, of course they are! They know there are a lot of single gay men living here and some of them spending an inordinate time on hook-up apps and collecting all the gay porn produced in the world, not excluding the worst gay porn ever produced (i.e. "The Centurians of Rome"). So of course they come here to do business... Although, my security tells me, they seem mostly to be doing each other because the sim dwellers aren't showing much interest."

As proof that this blog is heterophilic I am now posting the iconic picture that is mentioned by my dear friend Diana in her comment on my earlier post "Just Because It´s Cute".

Hey, most of my family and best friends are heterosexually challenged, actually even my mother and father. I usually make sure to have at least three of the poor things at every party I throw.

I found this background story to the picture on the blog A History of Total Health.

"Edith (Shain) was a part-time nurse and student at New York University on the day President Harry Truman announced the Japanese had surrendered. She and a friend, at work in Manhattan at Doctors Hospital, took the subway to Times Square when they heard the news. Still wearing her nursing whites, Shain joined the crowd in expressing their impossible-to-describe exhilaration that the horrors of world war were over.

Amid the pandemonium, Edith was suddenly grabbed, embraced and passionately kissed by the unknown sailor who’d forgotten his manners in the heat of the moment. Alert photojournalist Alfred Eisenstaedt and naval photographer Lt. Victor Jorgenson seized the opportunity for the image of a lifetime. Jorgenson’s version was published the next day in the New York Times; Eisenstaedt’s shot appeared on Life magazine’s cover."

But it seems there are three women claiming to be the nurse in the picture as this article in the New York Times tells us, "When A Kiss Isn´t Just A Kiss".
