High fashion look on the high seas!

[Willie T]

Just wanted to share a little story that happened to me on our cruise last week. While on the plane to San Diego, my glasses broke. Well.. at the last second I had thrown in a dollar store pair of horn rims "just in case". So, if I was trying to see, looked a little dorky.

First formal night we passed on our pics, I liked my other dress better anyway. The night before the last formal night in the dining room, somehow I had last a tooth (plastic) right in front! Needless to say, I had quite a ":look" going. Had the formal pic taken, no glasses of course, with just a smile. Not the best shot. I tried to keep my mouth shut the last few days, but if you know me, that does'nt work all the time. At first I was really bummed, had had my hair and nails done special for the cruise look, but then thought, hummmm, just another funny cruise story!

That's a great outlook....don't let the little things getcha down! :p Good for you!

[BlueHerons]

I know how you feel.

 

Leaving for Las Vegas on Friday and tripped on a rug in my living room and my cheek broke my fall on the coffee table and I have one big black eye.

I guess you were waitng for a crown replacement? I always hated that-even if you don't lose the temporary it does not look good at all, so I am sure you did not plan on having dental work right before a cruise- but that is awful you lost the temporary.

 

You know I do believe we care more about how we look then others do. So don't worry about it and remember the fun things!

I know what you mean. On our (first) cruise this past July, I was so stressed that I broke out with acne. (I'm over 40!) One of them was under my right eye and made my entire eye swell up. I looked like the hunchback:D . Fortunately the swelling went down a couple of days into the trip after many applications of all kinds of remedies that I picked up on here. Still don't know which one did the trick because I tried so many!:D

I try to make the best of everything!

Whenever I have a temporary crown I always carry a small tube of vaseline with me. A dental hygienist told me that vaseline will re-stick the temporary until you can get to the dentist for repairs. I don't know how it work and I never had to use it, but I have a mouth-full of crowns and they all started with temporary cement and temporary crowns. Of course, that's assuming you still have the temporary:)

Glad you had a great time considering all of the glamour!!

Boy, some of those stories make mine look like a walk in the park. lol

Not a crown, full upper plate. Guess I swallowed the tooth, I don;t know, but I did have super glue, and a friend had a Chicklett! No, we did'nt, but we had fun trying out the look. All fixed now.

:eek: OMG....that's horrible! Hope you're ok!

[Happy ks]

You have a great attitude :)

 

Travel can bring about it's own stress and mishap, you can make or break a trip with the way you react to it. So, congratulations on making your mishaps the funny parts, it will be a trip you fondly remember!

Willie T, you make me feel so much better about my own cruise fashion mishaps. Mine haven't been in the dental department (YET), but I seem to have some "mess up" every cruise. Mine are usually foot related, especially when my feet swell so much I cannot wear shoes. This time I have purchased some sandals and dress pumps in a size larger just for cruises because I have given up the Cinderella step-sister-like struggle to fit my swollen feet into my usual shoes.:o

 

Again, thanks so much Willie T for sharing your story. It is a real comfort to me and I am certain it will help others too.

I know how you feel.

We always work water stops during the marathon, so we'll be watching for a big black eye ! Right or left ? :eek:

 

Good luck and have a wonderful time in our fair city. :D

Great attitude!!!

 

My SO had his entire crown and post fall out on a piece of candy while in Gibraltar (no, not a temporary!). We still had about 5 hours while in port so we headed over to the Tourist Office and they provided the name and phone number of a dentist. Called them up and they took him in fifteen minutes.

 

Not only did they permanently repair it, but it only cost $40!! The dentist was great and now my SO wants to go there for all his check ups! :D

[iheartbda]

I would have had one of the pictures taken all gussied up WITH the dorky glasses and a full toothless grin just for kicks. The mental image of that makes me laugh everytime I think about it.:D

My hubby was told that too-and he had to do that but I was afraid he would swallow it in his sleep. he didn't though.

 

I have considered getting my front teeth crowned as they are not even-whats stopping me is dealing with those temporaries.

I saw that Dennis the Menace movie too!
