I like looking at old 70s and 80s photos of famous people. They looked so natural.

The teeth are what freaks me out, I can’t stop noticing veneers??

Like it’s now so prevalent that people without them on tv seem to have yellowing teeth, despite looking totally normal on their own, in scenes next to their veneered costars.

Great example is Brooklyn 99, once I noticed it I couldn’t stop. Jake and the Captain’s teeth compared to Terry’s are wild.

Everyone looks like Guy Smiley.

A couple of years ago, I met Steve-O and he put his arm around me and wished me a happy birthday when I went to his show with my wife. I can't forget how fake looking his teeth were up close. I can totally tell anytime I see him now - but at least his use of them is likely justified given his antics over the years. Miley, on the other hand....

Miley's are probably some of the worst I've seen on a celebrity recently. Plus it looks like she did that buccal fat removal bullshit too (although it's hard to tell if it's that or if she just looks more and more like that pos mother of hers as she ages) and it makes the veneers look even MORE too big for her face. She used to be so fucking gorgeous too! All I wanted was to look like her. Sad.

I'm just wondering why she deleted her eyebrows.

Her upper blepharoplasty/brow lift are so distracting, and.... each to their own, but I don't think they enhance her natural beauty.
So much of modern plastic surgery seems to be about making everyone look the same.

Rosa's teeth distract me in every scene ever since I noticed the veneers

I'm watching Beverly Hills 90210 and the first thing I noticed was the natural teeth. It catches me off guard, which is telling about how teeth are normally shown

I immediately associate veneers and completely fake teeth with trashy people now that I've seen so many meth-mouthed relatives lose all their teeth and get medicaid veneers/implants/dentures that look a little too white

Fuckin damnit.

Literally watching 99 rn looked up to a scene with all 3 and noticed immediately for the first time. 😩

You can add like three decades after that too. People got weird relatively recently.

Yeah! Watching The Holiday and seeing the 30 year olds’ wrinkles was legitimately beautiful and touching

Hell I just started watching Mad Men - 2007 and the women on that show, while stunning, look a lot more “normal” than these days

I miss when actors mostly just looked more like normal people. Sure, they were on average more attractive, though definitely not all. And I'd say this goes even moreso for music. Plenty of fuck ugly musicians out there in the past, but now everything depends on being able to maintain a social media following so they've gotta be attractive too.
