Remember the tooth gap craze? Lauren Hutton first made it popular in the 1970s. Madonna kept it alive and it made a comeback with models like Lara Stone and Georgia Jagger. Die hard viewers may recall that in cycle 6 of America's Next Top Model, Tyra Banks actually suggested that the eventual winner, Danielle Evans, get her tooth gap widened.
That was ridiculous enough, but a new trend is emerging in the East. No, not more Jersey Shore trends... even farther East than that - Japan. Girls are actually paying to make their teeth crooked!
What we refer to as "fangs" or "snaggle" teeth, the Japanese are calling "yaeba," directly translated meaning "double tooth." This vampire-like look has been popularized in Japan by famous celebrities and blogs, to the extent where ironically enough, men find women with unattractive teeth more attractive. Blogger Michelle Phan writes, "The crooked, fang-like yaeba teeth are said to make girls more approachable; the imperfection is considered desirable beause it makes the girl appear more endearing and cute."
Beyonce was spotted on a rainy day in New York wearing a black shirt with black cropped tights and carrying a vibrant blue bag that matched her shoes. Love it or rate it?
