Photo I took of Tori at Caprices Festival in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, March 10th, 2013

I’m one of those EWFs who gets defensive when someone bitches about her… aesthetic choices. I believe appearances are a double-edged sword for a woman of her age and position. When you work in the ~entertainment industry, you are subjected to public scrutiny. Well, the public doesn’t want to see aged women. Yet they shame them for getting plastic surgery, Tori being no exception.

I could go into a rant, but I won’t, suffice it to say that I respect her decisions, even though I really do miss her teeth. BUT you can tell how much self-esteem she’s gained from that rather recent surgery, and I find that a wonderful thing. Just look at past Tori pictures, and I don’t mean just photoshoots, but ones of her posing with fans at M&Gs. You’ll see her smiling with teeth very seldomly, usually it’s that Tori-smirk we’ve all come to love. Not anymore. And during shows… well, now she’s just glowing. Just look at her. Beautiful ginger fairy queen <3
