Braces

Welcome to Step Two of Operation Update Blog. In this post...braces! (Disclaimer: These pictures may have been taken in an actual orthodontist's office, or they may have been taken in an alien spaceship. You can't really tell the difference.)

 They give you these sunglasses because they use very bright lights. Don't I look fabulous, darling?

 To make you feel a bit better about the incredible amount pain you are about to stagger through in the next few weeks, (note: I'm joking...mostly...) they give you a large assortment of band colors to choose from, arrayed on an attractive plastic wheel.

 After the braces.

First, the nice picture. 

Now, the not so nice one. AAGGGHHH!!!!!! What have they done to me?
