Here in America, we whiten and brighten. A good friend came back from a long trip away with breast implants, a tummy tuck, and teeth whiter than chiclets. Or, as another friend put it, teeth like yogurt. They dazzled us so much, we shielded our eyes.

But in Japan, it seems, a new fashion has women paying to have their teeth re-arranged. No punches involved. Just dental surgery that results in “fangs”, a look called yaeba that men find attractive. Did you know that crooked teeth have an endearing factor, and make women more approachable?

But if the man finds it cute, I ask, does the woman? Does she feel like the perfect object of desire, with teeth made crooked? Does she feel better about herself, pleasing the man by looking more imperfect?

I give up. Come in and get perfect color with the Geo Palette instead. Everyone will compliment you, men and women. And after that, if you want imperfection…just mess up your hair. -JC
