It’s nice to see other people who aren’t obsessed with perfect teeth.

I have a HUGE gap between my front two teeth, and I’ll never fix it no matter how many times the dentist offers!

Speaking of “flaws,” the other day, my trainer and I were talking about my hair and out of the blue he mentioned how much he loves my widow’s peak. No one has ever complimented that before and for years, I HATED it. I decided to own it, finally, because short of shaving it off–which would look ridiculous–there’s no getting rid of it. And here is someone who actually thinks it’s cool.

There is so much beauty and uniqueness in the world. It’s fun to read and write these posts about it.

I have really wacky teeth. My lower teeth in front are really crooked because they don’t fit, and I have peg teeth on either side of my upper two front teeth (they’re tiny, about the same size as baby teeth) which make for some big gaps. I’ve never felt bad about them, but it’s always nice when somebody recognizes that teeth don’t have to be straight or conventionally shaped to make a pretty smile. My teeth have character.

Maybe I’ll post a picture.

Also, people themselves have different taste in smiles, too. I would guess that if you ask people to quantify what they like about a particular person’s, they’ll often have a hard time with it and revert to: “It just fits them.” (I’m guilty of this.)

Personally, I think the phrase “A nice smile” is used in place of “A smile that I [the speaker] like looking at.”
