Yuppie-dom as a group have now officially jumped the shark

Driving home yesterday, I heard on the radio the advertising for a new business that combines cosmetic dentistry and day spa services.

Their slogan was (something close to): "Why have a perfect smile if your whole face and body aren't just as polished?"

How freakin' shallow can you get? This place is advertising dental laminations and laser whitening to go along with your epidermal peeling and deep tissue massage.

Shallow enough to place an ad in the personals stating "SWF with brilliant straight smile looking for SWM with same." No shit, I saw that one*.

I'm getting to the point where I like seeing a pretty girl with a little gap in her front teeth or a slightly crooked smile, just because it gives her some personality. Everyone nowadays looks like airbrushed Playboy models between the lips.

*Yeah, I see the personals. We've got a couple guys at work who post ads there and want to talk about various potentials. With everyone. Whether you want to or not.

that reminds me of the wonderful line in The Firm, when Gary Busey says something like "I love your crooked little smile," and Holly replies "Well, it's not my best feature." Smouldering!

that was a great line, but it was David Strathairn as Ray McDeere, and his answer to that is just as priceless.

Tammy: You got the account number, you know how to access it? Mitch has verified that the money is there, seventy-five thousand dollars.
Ray McDeere: I love your crooked little mouth.
Tammy: [surprised laugh] Well it's not my best feature.
Ray McDeere: Wow. Well, what is?

I knew girls in two States: Vermont and Connecticut. The girls in Vermont had crooked smiles and a perfect way of looking at things. The girls in Connecticut had perfect smiles and a crooked way of looking at things. I likes my girls au natural! :D
