I don't remember exactly. I think it was the board from Mark Master. polo and me generate this board a short time, when Marks board went offlne.
I was able to transfer the most of the movies and series to this forum. But one good retainer music video (and all informations about the video), was lost.
I'seeking this video until today. I remeber a young female singer wearing retainers, in or follow a moving van.

Actually, it all started out with the usenet newsgroup alt.braces. That must have been in the early 90s. I remember that when I discovered it, I could not believe someone shared my interests ;)

Absolutley, thanks for 20 years!
I also remember when I spent most of my first day on the internet just flabbergasted that I am not alone. M's Mouthwear and all those.

Yes, M's Mouthwear was also my first introduction to the fact that I was not alone in my braces interests!

Of course, it was dial-up back then, and took AGES for pics to download. "Girl at Dogshow" is one of the first pics I remember....

You go to member list, then you push the “Date Registered” button, and then you count down until you find your name. It works better if you are on the first page, otherwise each page by default has 300 names.

Time flies as there do 15 or 20 years or maybe soon 25 years.

Once you happen to be retired you can realise how short life was and how tiny most of our so called problems are.

May there be peace to everybody reading this and to all the countries where there is war now on earth.
