A link to my reel I made it myself… so all you editor friends feel free to critique. It’s a little dated so be watching for the newest (more comedic) edition post-holiday season.
Thanks for watching!!
Let’s be honest for a second… I am 23 years old and yes I have braces.
Totally proud of it. The best part is they are on the bottom - no one knows unless I smile too hard or tilt my head at the right angle to give bedroom eyes. Which… doesn’t happen…
However, being 23 with these metal objects in my mouth can create a slight mole hill of a problem. I don’t feel exact orthodontist-patient confidentiality. When I go in to have them “tightened” or adjusted, everyone other than the employees is… 12.
So you can imagine me, in the waiting room with abc family on the tv and tiger beat on the coffee table. Surrounded by other metal mouths in school uniforms. Chances are am wearing yesterdays makeup, applying for big kid jobs via black berry, while slightly hungover. I’m pretty sure I stick out like a sore thumb.
And a lady of my age might have concerns or questions about the do’s and dont’s of braces. 1. What will wine do to clear braces? … I don’t think a 12 year old should/does have that concern. 2. Coffee?? stained??? 3. if I were to get quite tipsy and maybe sneak a puff of a cigarette (gawd forbid) - have a ruined my metal/clear band grin?
Seriously though, can you imagine a 12 year old pondering these questions?!
When I do get to the orthodontist, I get so nervous. I sit in that chair waiting for impending doom like it’s judgement day. Waiting for the teeth cleaner to be asking, “Where has your mouth been?!” “How many subway sandwiches have you torn into like some kind of saber tooth tiger?!” “I hope you don’t kiss your mother with your mouth.”
WELL. I DO. And my mother is fantastic and still loves me despite the metal, or the bandwagon that I fell off of.
I think everyone’s mouth raises a lot of questions so - no one has the right to judge or need to know where it’s been as long as proper maintenance has happened.
Floss, people.
dear facebook,
we must not stare at each other for awhile. Disconnecting is a must. When I muster up the gumption to cut the chord.
So… does Joan Rivers need to moisturize? They say that’s how you prevent wrinkles…
but she goes under the knife. Just sayin’.
