In praise of yaeba
Looking at the magazine rack this morning, I was struck by the generic "beauty" of the women on the covers of the various magazines. Completely lacking character, they were almost all indistinguishable. Which makes me wonder if the population at large really has such pedestrian tastes. I remember hearing that the Japanese are fond of women with yaeba--crooked teeth (a genetic trait that apparently comes from Okinawa). I also find crooked teeth and odd features much more attractive than the plastic features of women featured on magazines. In some genetically-altered future, will the day come when everyone's face is as generic as the bright-n-shiny plastic gizmos in a Walmart distribution center?

5 Remarks:
Speaking as someone with very crooked teeth -- despite many years of enduring braces -- I heartily join in praise of yaeba.
Perhaps you'll end up like Lao-tzu's uncut tree--so crooked that it's passed up by the tree-cutter's axe.

That photo is of Ai Kago.....who many, many people now regard as very beautiful (with or without crooked teeth). She's had them fixed, by the way.
Fixed?!!!! Say it ain't so-o-o!
