okay, i admit- i still wear a retainer at night. a black one. with an eight ball on it. and before my seven-year orthodontic fiasco, i used to bend paperclips and wear them in my mouth as fake retainers to impress my friends.
apparently, i was onto something. kiel mead brings nerdy back with a $200 sterling silver retainer necklace available on areaware.com.
and like bronzing baby boots, mead has inspired me to immortalize my own crusty mouth appliance in a precious metal once my teeth have decided to stop moving…
