The amazing braced belly dancer

A friend and I got hired for a birthday party gig last night at an Indian restaurant.  I thought it went pretty well - all the diners seems to enjoy watching me...but then it occurred to me that they might just be staring at my braces!  :(  Ugh, even when I'm all dolled-up and feeling pretty, the braces manage to knock me back to reality like THAT!

Oh, well.

Just a quick update on the Tung Brush.  Several people commented on the whole "bleeding" thing.  It's not like it was a ton of bleeding - it was more like I scraped a little too hard.  And it actually only happened the one time.  You know all the little bumps on your tongue?  I basically scraped off one of those, I think...  Hopefully that makes sense... ???  Overall, I'm really enamored by the brush - it feels like it gets a lot more gunk off of my tongue with much less effort that using my regular toothbrush. 

Now, those pix are a different story.  I'm not good with flossing apparatuses, I guess.   I need to stick with my regular floss - Oral-B Super Floss.  I freakin' love this stuff.  I couldn't get the hang of those floss threaders, but these strings come with a stiff end so you don't need a separate threader.  The Oral Pix, oh those damn Oral Pix.  True, I only tried one, but I managed to stab myself in the gum and let me tell you - that was some blood!  Maybe someone else will have an easier time with them, but I just don't think I have the dexterity for poking little plastic swords between my teeth...

Happy Memorial Day weekend, all...

I'm with on the Super Floss...that stuff is amazing! Shoulda bought stock in the stuff~ Why my Ortho bothers giving out those useless plastic needle-threader-thingys is beyond me...I doubt anyone sticks with those for long :)

I am SO WITH you guys on super floss. Expensive as it may be, I am in love with it - it saves so much time!!

Maybe I'll try the tung brush, if you're enamored with it....

Ditto on the Super Floss. It certainly makes my life much easier.

I love that super floss too.

Ditto on the "people looking at me" thing. I was at a party the other day and felt like I was getting an unusual amount of attention, thought maybe it was my nice new outfit ... then remembered the braces. Damn.
