Imagine Seeing a Smile Like This Coming at You in the Dark


According to the New York Times, LED "fronts" that give wearers glowing, multicolored smiles are a huge hit with Japanese teens. (I'm not sure how much faith I place in the Times' trendspotting.)

The adult in me thinks this doesn't look terribly healthy--or attractive. The girl mastermind in me thinks a set of glowing teeth could really scare the socks off people who don't follow Japanese fashion trends.

  3. Considering Japanese teens lived through the ko-gal faze in the 90's, I don't doubt it.

  9. Actually, I think it's just that the top half is the same as the bottom half of the picture, so everyone appears at least twice.

  13. I'd believe almost anything being described as a youth tend anywhere in the world. No matter how bizarre, inexplicable, or just a plain ol' style non sequitor. After all, I've spent all this morning riding with a bunch of middle aged cyclists, who think glowing, fluorescent hi-vis yellow tops and shiny lycra black bottoms make a matching, balanced wardrobe. Expecting better judgement from teens? Why?

    But yeah, this does look creepy.

  15. I was freaked out enough the first time I woke up and saw the cat's eyes glowing back at me in the dark. She may have been a psychopathic bird assassin a lousy disposition (definitely not a "morning cat") but I miss her.
