Gentry Party Guide #1: Fresh Breath = Good Conversation
With the round of parties coming your way this month, it’s never been more important to keep fresh breath and flash a glittering smile…
The worst thing about parties – apart from most of the things that happen there – is the way people lean confidentially into your face to start a conversation. Admittedly, this is largely out of necessity – with music and chatter making it hard to hear their mutterings.
But it’s still a little jarring to have to breathe in the pungent wheezes of total strangers – especially if their mouth stink resembles the mythical “place where all things die” so feared by Native Americans. Usually it’s just the horrid mixture of coffee and wine that does it, creating a cruelly dizzying aroma.
Not only is it unpleasant but you’ll have to spend the entirety of the conversation trying to stop your face locking into the disgusted sneer from which it is – understandably – trying to turn.
No matter what the unfortunate speaker is jabbering on about – the new David Lynch Gucci ad, the cure for boredom, the location of Christiano Ronaldo’s off-switch – it’s impossible to override the voice in your mind that’s yelling “DROP AND ROLL!”.
So, why not invest a little energy in picking up the very best toothpaste and breath fresheners around to ensure your witty repartee is enjoyed by all? After all, fresh breath can equal good conversation.
For perfect results, Gentry recommend the minty bliss of Marvis – beautifully designed and refreshingly sharp – it will see you through the relentless slog of small talk and grinning you’ll be doing as 2009 rolls into view. Marvis also offer a wonderful whitening toothpaste that'll give you that extra sparkle…
Of course, you’ll be hoping the night ends with something a little more stirring than just talking – and that’s where having fresh breath will really pay off.
