Once a hip-hop must-have, grills are losing their flava

Lucille Brooks has lost her bling. When she was 15 and a hip-hop fanatic, this Casselberry resident had her six front teeth encrusted in gold.

I never thought it made people look like "thugs," I just thought that it made people look stupid. Glad to hear this fad is on its way out.

Lucille if you would like to save money on fixing your teeth please e-mail me at [e-mail].

[fuzzy wuzzy]

It is just like the clock around the neck, or the crown air freshner in the back window of their "rides." Whatever is portrayed on TV and music videos is going to be a popular fad with this culture. Now, if I could figure out the next trend, and mass produce it, I'd be rich.

[You are a moron]

It took her 17 years to figure this out but better late than never!

Hummm, has an AOL account, double posts and trolls the Sentinel to tout her discount dentistry, yeah please work on my teeth LOL!

of couse gold teeth fits a stereo type!

She says "I hate stereotypes, but people just look at you like you're a thug," and then says "It was a black thing to do.". She's formed the very stereotype she 'hates'.

Having a grill doesn't make you a thug. Being a thug makes you a thug.

So I guess having a grill makes you a car? Or a BBQ? Or a thug wannbe...

"It was a black thing to do. BET [Black Entertainment Television], hip-hop stars, everyone was getting it."

Now that would put some bite in The Vagina Monologues!

some day the losers finally grow up and realize they can't get jobs with the bling and sleeve tattoos and grillz.

Their reaction to her glittery smile was less than favorable. "I hate stereotypes, but people just look at you like you're a thug," she says.- UM, WELL, DUH!!!!!!!!!!

[Realtime]

Thought it was "grilles."
