So I haven't completely lost the plot, but this article posted by Billboard today has made me think about M's iconic gap tooth and how ingrained in her image it is!

Why Celebrities Are Keeping (and Celebrating) Their Gap Teeth

QUOTE
Having gap teeth isn’t a new concept at all, with Madonna and Elton John being the firsts in the music industry to really embrace theirs. And on the fashion front, Lauren Hutton and Vanessa Paradis were the OG supers who spearheaded the then-novel idea of imperfection at a time when perfection was demanded from models.

The roster of in-demand, gap-tooth models, including Georgia May Jagger, Lily Aldridge, Lara Stone, Jessica Hart, Lindsey Wixson, and Abby Lee Kershaw, speaks to this shift.

My mum has a fairly big gap between her teeth and so i've always found it cute heehee.gif

Also I never really noticed M's as being so prominent until Gaga paid homage to it in the BTW music video:

Never understood how it fluctuates in prominence but yeah it's pretty iconic, like it's the first thing people think about when it comes to impersonating Madonna or making spoofs. Like vibe said though, it's great she's not wanted to remove it.
