What is this silly fad?

[Erin]

I'm sure this has been talked about before, so what, we'll talk about it again. My girlfriend (very normal 28yr old with a 23mo old daughter, engaged, homeowner, drives a mercedes) wants one of these in one tooth - a real diamond. WTF is this?

That''s nothing - Behold, eyeball jewelry.

a great way to ruin natural teeth

I think the economic term for it is "conspicuous consumption."

 

[fuffi]

I absolutely adore diamonds (I make my living looking at them) but I find this utterly repulsive.

 

[Blue824]

eww i''ve never seen that diamond in a tooth before...so not a fan! i''m not sure what I''d think if I saw someone with that either...

as for that eye thing, *shudder* that so grosses me out! I remember when that was all over the news and I just don''t understand what compels anyone to do that!

 

[jennysue]

my eyes are watering just looking at that one!

 

[pearcrazy]

Teeth are a precious commodity, especially as we get older! I''d never to anything that wasn''t necessary to alter their appearance.

This isn''t new. Mick Jagger had one of these back in the early 70s. I read that he first had an emerald but people kept tellinghim he had a piece of spinach stuck in his teeth-- so he changed it to a diamond.

The tooth doesn''t bother me (not that I would even consider it) but the eyeball jewelry is really gross!

My sis put one on herself - when she came over and smiled and said ''allo'' we all told her she had some food stuck in her teeth...

she wouldnt have it that it didnt look good.

silly mear

Is there an emoticon for projectile vomiting?

Great Idea...but wrong position. If the diamonds were set on the biting edge of the teeth you could eat rocks all day long!!
