The way of the smile has always been mostly about the spacing of the teeth, Miss Blue, so you can imagine the outrage among the Village people when it became the newest look - the Missing Tooth Look. Even when a tooth falls out, dropping into the hand when least expected, there is no haste about visiting a dentist, just a quick glance in the little compact mirror in our purse brings a jolt of appreciation at our sudden change of appearance. Haute Couture in the Smile.  Not everyone has a dropped tooth and that is what the outrage is all about! The Cheshire Cat himself, is very hurt that his smile has been tossed aside for the Missing Tooth Look! A sorry story, Miss Blue.

And that is how it is here in the Village, always forward looking, for better or worse.
