Unfotunately because of the teasing and bullying there are very few pictures of me smiling with my teeth on show from ages 10-20...which means for a whole decade the family album just shows me looking very cross!!!!:) I could have used web communities like this and gap-toothed.com back then to see that a diastema is a truly unique and beautiful feature of a person's smile! The day it all changed for me was when a close friend told me that I should smile more because my smile made me stand out... Now my wisdom teeth are coming through and I am trying to get them removed because I have a funny feeling that I will lose my gap as a result of the wisdom needing more room...I have to protect my gap...and I have to upload a picture!

Been complimented on my smile by Harrod Blank himself as well as those who know him ;) Oh and while i"m dropping names, Peter Max digs it too. ;) hee hee. My brother, my mom and her brother also sport the gap, so I'm always in good company.

I'm so excited to hear about your diastematic delight! Welcome to the Diastema tribe! We have many dentally endowed as well as admirers here (we prefer to call ourselves admirers rather than 'wanna be's' ;) We are not an exclusively regional tribe and you and yoru posse are extremely welcome here...bring it on! Diastemas unite! Rock your Gap! -Molly Fri, 24 Feb 2006 18:32:57 GMT http://diastema.tribe.net/thread/6a4f400c-75d8-43d1-af22-6c9bdec220ef#4f71acb2-098a-4b72-82b5-397576b5a246 Molly 2006-02-24T18:32:57Z http://diastema.tribe.net/thread/6a4f400c-75d8-43d1-af22-6c9bdec220ef#4eae63b1-a76e-40f3-a327-454320b89b16 Hi there, I'm a brand-spanking-new member. Just found y'all today. Very excited to see them gappy grins! Many moons ago -- 1995 -- I started a lil' website called Gap-Toothed (gap-toothed.com), and it grew into a diastematic's delight: interviews with Les Blank (director of Gap-Toothed Women) and Dale Hempel (founder of the International Diastema Club); a bona-fide USPS stamp protest (Vince Lombardi without a gap? Nuh-uh.); the G-List of 1000+ gap-toothed folks (famous and not); and a few other appropriately idiotic features made it what it was, back in the day when I had nothing better to do in my spare time. (Feel free to poke around at archive.org for the legacy/lunacy that is Gap-Toothed culture on the internet...) I've since mothballed the site (took a wife, bred a gap-toothed kid, took an all-consuming job, yada yada), but found that people were still wanting a connection to others who had a gap. And who am I to stop them. So in late December I started a Yahoo group, which has grown to 16 members; we're adding 1-2 new people a week. Well here I am today, staring at your grins and wondering where y'all have been all along. I'm glad to have found you and think we may need to do some merging here, if you're interested in that. So, li'l show of hands: out of curiosity, how many of you are actually Dentally Endowed (in Diastematic fashion), versus wannabes? Inquiring minds pretend they wanna know. And...just to make sure: is this an insider group, regionally focused on the Bay Area? (We wouldn't want to crash anyone's party.) If not...would you mind if a gaggle of gappers joined up? We promise not to bite. And if we do, we'll leave a wonderful little gap-toothed mark. Consider it a personal brand.... -- Noel (aka Diastematic) Fri, 24 Feb 2006 05:42:50 GMT http://diastema.tribe.net/thread/6a4f400c-75d8-43d1-af22-6c9bdec220ef#4eae63b1-a76e-40f3-a327-454320b89b16 diastematic 2006-02-24T05:42:50Z
