Stars Can't Shine Bright Without a Great Dentist

Those who work in fashion, those who professionally critique the industry, and those who mistakenly think they are fashion experts as they watch every awards show spend a lot of time focused on red carpet appearances. They obsess over the designer of every dress, shoe, bag, and flashy piece of jewelry. Oddly, none of the self-appointed appearance police focus on the first run of magicians that help the stars to shine so very brightly.

When was the last time you heard someone ask about the dentist who straightened and whitened a famous smile? How often does the dermatologist get credit for a clear complexion on a famous face? Who ever thanks the manicurist who allows the women and men in formal wear to gesture charmingly in interviews?

If presentation is everything where awards are presented, why have we not gotten more specific in the series of people contributing to the photo readiness of the famous? The image detail oriented would all like to know which plastic surgeon to hire or, more importantly, which to avoid at all costs. While you're finding out about who literally raises eyebrows the precise right amount, why not get the additional listing of the aesthetician who shapes the brow once it's in its youngest looking placement?

The artistry of make-up has reached fairly epic proportions just in terms of what people can create at home. Impressive illusion has become almost commonplace. If you're looking for glamour, you need go no further than a department store's array of cosmetic counters. If you want costume not costume de rigeur, the transformations possible now go far beyond the old wax teeth that turned a person into a vampire or hillbilly.

Of course, when it comes to looking good as a human, it takes more than the right shade of lipstick to give you the sparkly whites of a movie star smile. Without a great dentist, the only way to be sure your teeth look white is to merit ridicule with a bad spray tan. Of course, excellent oral hygiene is a critical piece in the puzzling personal regimen necessary for red carpet readiness.

Perhaps it's time for the internet to help in a whole new way. Sure, you use social networking to get recommendations for all sorts of things. Wouldn't it be better to have a list of the brilliant technicians and specialists whose work you see regularly while you wait in line at the grocery? The blog that breaks down the more personal stylists who make magic happen would be fantastic.

Perhaps the celebrities who lie, blatantly and badly, about how much plastic surgery they've had signed nondisclosure agreements with the surgeons everyone should avoid. They can't possibly have a reasonable excuse for withholding the clear and present benefits of the brilliant dentist who keeps their pearly whites brilliant, can they?
