The fervor surrounding the impending nuptials for England’s future king and his lovely Kate and her fabulously sexy dress has taken over the US media. Even bear-fearing Stephen Colbert has taken lessons on the proper etiquette required to be a good royal wedding guest on his show The Colbert Report.
In addition to the media coverage, the number of wedding souvenirs available is reaching epic level. You can buy the Kate porcelain figurine, a replica of her engagement ring and even a barf bag for those brought to vomit-inducing levels by all the hoopla. Even Legoland in Windsor has gotten in on the act, putting their blocks together in what they anticipate the I Do transaction will look like.
One British man has taken his excitement to a new level, getting an image of Prince William and Kate Middleton painted onto his teeth. Barmy Baz Franks spent six hours with a dentist’s hands in his mouth to get the dental art. The “gnasher tats” as they are called will last approximately three months, depending on how often Franks brushes. With most Brits’ notoriously poor dental hygiene, his might last longer than the normal prescribed time. If I absolutely had to have something other than a random bit of spinach on my tooth, I think I would go with Abe Lincoln on my caps. Hopefully Franks paid up front for the work so his dentist won’t have to repossess his work like the doctor who broke into a woman’s home to nab her false teeth.
