With New Moon imminently on the rise, our friends at StyleList conducted survey of cold ones inspired beauty. The results? Nearly 10% of respondents caved to the idea of having or investigating fang implants.
Um, what? Even 1% would seem really high. Certainly fashion statements have often taken cues from pop culture, but this just seems ridiculous.
Apparently, there are two types of canines to be bought. The first is a temporary cover that can be fitted and fashioned to fit into your bite (Lady Gaga was spotted smiling with these a few months back). The more permanent option—a cap—needs to be put on by a cosmetic dentist. Lengths, style and size can be customized. And pricing starts at $100 a tooth.
Lest you think we’ve completely lost our minds, let us tell you that last night we sat across the table at Rose Bar from a girl actually wearing fangs. So this trend is happening whether we like it or not. And as much as we love a cheesy teenage vamp flick or a semi-evil Eric, we’re going to go with not. You?

This is getting a bit out of hand isn't it? I mean the movies and books and television shows are fine but altering your appearance - probably permanently = is a bit too far. Mommas and Poppas start saving up for Christmas!
