Smiles of the ignited...

If you come to California expecting to smile and surf and be seen, go home. What really works here is packing some inner orthodontia - TEETH! Back in the Big Apple, teeth were once the rage, but now they've all been filed down to harmless nubs. Gums for suckling at the pricey teet of hypnotic milk. Here in the wild west, there's still much to do, many empty spaces to fill, many visions to muster. But don't let that sunshine and natural beauty and casual sheen lull you into a stupor. Grow some teeth, some resistance, create a tension upon which your tightrope act will flourish.
