Hi everyone,

I'm glad that the list is back: I never gave up hoping.

Here's something I'd love to hear some conversation about: Bono's mouth!

I mean, it's always been a really prominent part of his, um,
body. Sticking cameras into it, for instance. It must be said that the
others are pretty darn close-mouthed most of the time. Do you think that
people tend to find Bono's mouth sexy, early on and over the years? I'm
not sure how to describe Bono's mouth and its effect.

And I'm wondering whether/ when Bono had orthodonture/cosmetic work. The
early videos seem to me to show a guy with not the most perfectly straight
teeth (though still not shy about showing them: good for him, I say). But
then it looks to me as though he did the predictably Hollywood thing and
had his teeth cappedn pretty early on. This could be viewed as a bit
surprising, given that his generation of Irish people tended to think of
the Yanks as worrying overmuch about teeth. And then there's Shane
MacGowan, but that's probably another list entirely.

It's actually Amanda's "smooching" that made me think about this: are
capped teeth sexier? In any and all sexual preferences? Maybe Bono wanted
to be more attractive for Edge?

Cheers,
Cheryl
