Its no disease that, its one of those nice sounding medical terms that is a recent entrant into the fashion world. Remember Anorexia Nervosa & Anorexia Bulimia they were doing the rounds on the fashion circuit for some time too.
The inspiration to write this piece were my dentures, every morning over the years as I brush my teeth, I cannot fail but notice my gap tooth and many a times sleepily pondered over ways to get them closed, probably a gold filling a la M N Nambiar, or a neatly cut Swarovski planted there, or at the very least simply fill the gap with some plaster from paris!!!
Picking up the day’s newspaper with coffee in hand and my tongue stuck between my famous dentures, I read an article which screamed Gap-tooth in vogue! It’s the new fashion statement!!! Viola!! In the hope that some part of my body was close to attaining designer status I continued reading the rest of the story and with each paragraph I was desperately trying to widen the gap with my tongue out of frustration. Unfortunately the male version of the gap tooth did not make it to the in-vogue status.
Until recently I was suffering from a phenomenon called midline diastema sharing my misfortune were singer Elton John, model Jessica Hart, stateswoman Condoleca Rice and porn star Belladona, already an impressive company to be in, I thought. Overnight the women from the group were catapulted into the league of aspiring super models and many are now trying to desperately widen the gap between their teeth. Guess you will soon get to hear more tongue in tooth replies replacing the tongue in cheek ones at beauty pageants and page 3 interviews…
Waiting for the day when receding hairlines and some extra fat around the waist instead of gelled / spiked hairdos and six packs will be in VOGUE too!!! Going by the new world order it might just happen sooner than we expect. Got to start really working on it!
