Brunch today was at The Top of the Market. It is a fancier version of The Fish Market. In fact it is right upstairs of the Tuna Harbor location. I love a champagne brunch on Sunday! Especially with our crazy group. Notorious (to borrow a phrase), all of them. Just like Tori. Heh.

But the reason I post this is because we were near this very famous statue…

Unconditional Surrender, a 25-foot, 6,000 pound statue by world-renowned artist J. Seward Johnson commemorating a famous World War II photo was unveiled Feb. 10 at Mole Park in San Diego. Unconditional Surrender is a three-dimensional interpretation of a photo taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt of a Sailor kissing a nurse in Times Square, New York City on Aug. 14, 1945, following the announcement of V-J Day…. Unconditional Surrender was previously displayed in New York City in 2005 and Sarasota, Fla. in 2006. The statue made its way here, and will stand at the G Street Mole Park for duration of 2007 before traveling to its next home. The statue is owned by the Sculpture Foundation of Santa Monica, Calif., and is on loan to the Port of San Diego.

Apparently it is the place to get your photo taken. Lot’s of couples were mimicking the pose, all romantic. There are a bunch of shots on Flickr by various people. You get the idea…

Then there is our version:

We are sooo pervy. Look at that girl passing in the foreground. I could tell she was thinking we were total perverts.
