Diastema - The New "In" Thing in Fashion
For those of you who don't know what diastema is, it is the condition of having a gap between your two front teeth, Apparently, this is a hot thing in the fashion world. So much so, in fact, that some people have went to their dentist to ask them to create a space between their two front teeth (a process, which, by the way, is irreversible). Personally, I think this is absolutely hilarious. I have diastema, although I did not know before yesterday the correct term for it....I always referred to it as "gap teeth". For many years, this was the bane of my existence. Especially as a teenager, I felt my "buck teeth" were very much responsible for my not attracting the opposite sex. Sometimes I was made fun of too. Point is, this condition that I spent many years hating because I thought it made me ugly and made me stand out, is now being lauded amongst fashionable circles as "appealing", "unique" and even "sexy". Well, I will enjoy it while it lasts. Take that, fashion world! For possibly the first time in my life, I am fashionable and have something that people want to imitate (even if this thing is slightly odd and I have no idea what would possess a person to actually want to create this basically irreversible condition).
