Are you people crazy?

Alright, you know how I feel about piercings, and people who turn themselves into absolute freaks. I don't much care for it. Tattoos are fine, great actually, but for me I don't really want to be turned into a pin cushion, nor do I want to be stuck by one.

Just my opinion - you're welcome to share your opinion with me, should you choose.

When I saw this, I knew it would be my topic of today. I actually saw the picture months ago and forgot about it. When I saw it again today, I couldn't let the opportunity pass me by once again.

This is apparently the new fad...although I don't know where. Europe maybe? They're cutting edge, they're always ahead of us in the fashion department aren't they? I haven't seen any of these around here in lil Ol' Portland Maine. Now, that's not to say that they're not here - I've seen some pretty 'cutting edge' folks on Congress Street. Remember that big picture window I get to sit behind everyday? ;) Lots of people walk by that window...

Anyway, on to the fad. It's called - yes, you guessed it... Eye Jewelry.

I call it N-A-S-T-Y! WTF is someone seriously going to do with this thing? Where could you wear it? Honestly, wouldn't you feel like you had something crawling on the side of your face? I would be swatting at it. What about when you look to the side? Does it catch on the lower lashes and make your eye twitch? Not only would you look like a freak with one of these, you would look like a freak with a twitch. Nice.

I just can't imagine how this is practical or suitable to any situation! Is it supposed to be attractive? Cause, uh...it isn't. No, really, it's not.

There's even a video for crying out loud!

And if that isn't bad enough, these folks took the eye jewelry even further.

Gross.

Oh yeah, and there's a video for this too...



The procedure costs $3,900 per eye...

Gee, it kind of makes me sad that I only have two eyes...NOT! This kind of stuff makes me sick.
Literally the second video did. I couldn't finish watching it.

I can't stand looking at it anymore while I am typing this.

Rock on with your bad self, and keep this crap outta your eyes!

4 out of 5 dentists DO NOT agree!

About a week ago, we had a conversation with my daughter about piercings and tattoos, and then I did a blog about it - sharing with you some lovely photos of why I thought it might be a poor choice to pierce her face...She opted not to get the piercing, and instead wants another tattoo instead.

Well...we've all heard those commercials on TV and radio advertising some 'mouth-type' product and the announcer going on and on about "Bla, bla... 4 out of 5 dentist's agree...bla bla bla" right?

Yeah.

This morning, I found an article on the internet describing some new fad as being the 'white collar' tattoo. Here's a photo. Yes, that is a tooth.

Not just any tooth though, that is a FRONT TOOTH.
OK, so techincally, it's a crown, but it's still the tooth that is
in the front of your FACE!

Now, who doesn't love Abe Lincoln? The dude aboloished slavery, had his face carved into the side of a mountain, we still celebrate his friggin birthday AND he's on our money! He acheived some serious status... Does that entitle him to take up residence in our mouths as well as our hearts? Uhm, not if you ask me...

Hey though, don't be discouraged, if Abe isn't your favorite president, how about good old George Washington?












Still no?
OK, how about David Letterman? Amy Winehouse? Oh! I got it! ELVIS!!! Yeah, now that is what I'm talking about...

Maybe, you're not so fond of putting something like a tattoo on your front tooth. (Although I can't imagine why, it seems like such a great idea...) Not to worry, there are still back teeth! No need to put it right out where everyone can see it all the time, make em work a little! It might be fun to let them think you've been blessed with some back tooth decay that has the likeness of Mickey Mouse or a rooster! Trickery at it's best! Then, think of the fun you'll have when you pull your cheek aside and show them what it REALLY is!

Completely stupid!

There are a ton more pictures of these 'tattooed teeth', but I can't stand looking at them anymore. If you want to check out the rest of them on your own time, feel free to go to the website where I found them... http://www.toothartist.com/

I don't imagine that your dentist will destroy a perfectly good tooth, in order for you to get one of these (YES, it does require a visit to the dentist to get one) and if you would actually consider asking your dentist to destroy a perfectly good tooth just so you CAN get one - may I also recommend the following website.... www.psychologyinfo.com/directory/

Rock on with your bad self...
