Oh, Ewwwwwwwwwww.
OK-if someone wants them, who am I to say that it’s wrong or bad etc, but…
Ew.
(we really need a puking smiley)
Four out of five dentists prefer to taste the food, note the fuel.
No-one else thinks Jaws from James Bond?
IMHO, not sensible, not stylish, not particularly aesthetically appealing. Just a way to show off your bling. Tacky, tacky, tacky.
I did! I did! And I always thought he looked terrible, too (but that was the idea, wasn’t it?).
Kinda makes me want to get a tattoo on my forehead. The horror…
When they show up on Sex and the City in ten years and everyone claims that Carrie Bradshaw was the first to discover them…
oh wait, that was the nameplate necklaces black and Spanish girls were wearing for a decade before Carrie…
Wow, you flyover country people are so far behind the times - we’ve been seeing this on our more thuggish patrons for ages. It does make you blink a bit.
Maybe they should refer to it as “blink-blink”.
They make cheaper removable ones too that you just jam up there, apparently. I had a guy show up for his jury trial in one once. Luckily we came to a plea agreement at the last minute, and I was spared the discomfort of asking him to “please remove your mouth-bling.”
They made me think of braces too. I unfortunately still have the damn things, so next time I see my ortho to get them tightened, I’ll ask if she’ll be willing to glue diamonds to them too. I’d really be one of the cool kids then… 
My job often takes me into low-income urban areas, and last March in Chicago, I was visiting a family in the projects. The 4-year-old boy who greeted me at the door was wearing gold fronts. That was the first time I’d seen someone besides Lil John or Nelly wearing them.
No no no! It’s “taste the meat, not the heat!”
I do remember that some of my friends had little colored beads put on their braces in middle school/high school. But they were rather subtle and you could only see them when you were maybe about a foot or so away from them.
I’d love to get into one of these mall-gangsta’s rooms minutes before they awake with some Crazy Glue. Hilarity!
I’ve been semi-aware of these for a long time since the title character in Harmony Korine’s film Julien Donkey-Boy wore one. Frankly, I thought they might be passe since that is kind of an older movie. I’ve never seen one in real life.
Do you mean the necklaces that have your name written in cursive, usually made out of some cheap metal? I wore one back in the eighties and I’m a white girl from flyover land. The things people will think are trendy…
I kind of like it. Only on a superstar though. That’s a superstar look. When regular people try to get in on those kinds of trends it’s embarassing.
Jeweled braces? …meh… I was hoping for more of this action.
It would certainly improve rap.
This is one of the Google ads right now:
So I clicked on it, hoping to find a nice, clean, set of used fronts.
So hideous, I want them. They’re not used, but they’re cheap. I got a red velvet pimp hat for Chirstmas a few years ago; I think this would be the perfect accessory I’ve been searching for. I think mail-order metal dental accessories is the way to go.
With a name like “grill,” I was expecting something that would cover the top and bottom teeth, like what you’d do with an orange peel. Imagine one of those in platinum, with diamonds spelling our the wearer’s name.
Actually I’d heard of the practice, but I’ve never heard them being called “grills” before.
