I saw Jodie Marsh on a television programme recently and was almost blinded by her teeth. People have such bad judgement when it comes to teeth. I detest veneers; I can usually tell if someone’s got them and can’t stop staring at their mouth when they’re talking to me. I just keep thinking that underneath all the porcelain is a load of little stumps. Dentures scare me. There was an advert on television a while back, where two ancient people were kissing and the voiceover asked us to decide which one of them had dentures. Who cares? I was too busy trying to keep down my cheesy pasta.
I’m only thinking about teeth because I was watching an episode of Ugly Betty tonight and I was quite taken with her braces. I can see braces being a bit of a fashion accessory – definitely within my lifetime. Do you think the show producers are going to make Betty’s boss fall in love with her? Or she with him? They probably wouldn’t let that happen until she got her braces removed and had her hair fixed. They’d make her get rid of her glasses too, no doubt. Shallow bunch.
