Isn't a frenectomy when the doc excises that piece of membrane that connects
the tongue to the mouth. In some kids it connects too much so they get it
clipped. ??? They might call it a frenectomy too when they cut that piece that
hold the top lip to the gum, so your gums don't show as much when you smile
(let's your lip go lower).

Surgery on the frenulum? There's also a frenulum on the penis. You don't
think...???

That would be "frenum", which is a flap of skin holding one element to
another (i.e. under the tongue). While the one under the tongue is
sometimes clipped if it's too large, clipping a normal one wouldn't really
cause any change.

There's also one holding the upper lip to the gum, which I happen to have
pierced:

In the body-piercing world, the ones in the mouth are called "scrumpers" to
differentiate from male genital piercings.

How did you come up with this title?

I remember reading in years gone by that no upper lip is
from some sort of medical condition.

I have noticed that Kenneth Branagh (sp?) has no upper lip.

I'm thinking it's some sort of slag on all the collagen-lip-enhancements in
Hollyweird. Like, as in, who *hasn't* had their lips done? Or who *should*,
maybe?

I have no idea, although I can think of a couple who should lose the
collagen altogether...Goldie Hawn, for one. Mega-UGH! _What_ is so bloody
sexy about thick lips? More to suck on? Suck with? Yeeesh...I don't know, I
just think it looks stupid as hell, especially on her. Bleah.

As a side note, every time I see this subject thread in my headers list, I
keep thinking of that audience participation tag-line in The Rocky Horror
Picture Show just about every time The Narrator appears on the
screen..."This man has no neck!!"

Well, could we think of some celebs with no necks when we run out of ones
with no upper lips? Juuuuust an idea...

The frenum is also the insertion point for a PA piercing. Apparently we
have more than one frenum. [frenum is Latin for "something that
restrains or holds back"]

It can also be a piercing in itself, just through the skin underneath.
Multiple ones in a row are called a "frenum ladder".

If you call death a "medical condition," you could possibly be
correct.
The mummies of Tutankhamen and Seqnenre Tao (sp?) seem to have
that missing-upper-lip syndrome, at least to some extent.
S. Tao had some other major medical problems, like axe wounds all
over his head, for example, as well. (Not to be too morbid or
anything.)
Tying this in with ASG, Ramses II, memorably played by Mr
Brynner in TTC, had a perfectly fine upper lip. And quite a
nose, too.

I saw Kevin McCarthy in Sardi's once, a long time ago; he was
rather short, and had a *very* large head, which made him look
like he had no neck, at least "in person." His huge cranium wasn't all
that obvious on the screen, for some reason.

Noel Coward once was having fits trying to direct the willful Claudette
Colbert for a television version of BLITHE SPIRIT. At one point, he
snapped at her, "I'd wring your neck if I could find it."

The great diva Zinka Milanov once was asked what she thought of the
performance of Eileen Farrell, who, frankly, has practically no neck at
all. La Farrell had just sung Maddalena in ANDREA CHENIER, one of
Milanov's most famous roles. Mme. Milanov thought for a bit, and then
answered, "Vell, vun thing you can say. Farrell is ze first Maddalena
to survive at ze end of ze opera." (ANDREA CHENIER takes place during
the French Revolution, so you get the idea.)

Mme. Milanov's fans love to repeat her very frank "Zinka-isms."

When she announced her retirement from the Met after a 30-year career,
Milanov received a tearful phone call from Licia Albanese, a diva of
comparable vintage. "Oh, Zinka," sobbed Licia, "You are so brave! I
could never consider making a farewell."

"Vell," deadpanned Zinka, "You should."

When Leontyne Price made history as the first African-American soprano
to sing at the Met, Milanov was asked her opinion of the new diva's
sensational Met debut in IL TROVATORE (another role for which Milanov
was famous).

Milanov is generous. "Beautiful voice, beautiful voman, but I am afraid
this is not qvite the right opera for her."

What would be a more appropriate opera for Madame Price, then?

Milanov ponders a moment. "Perhaps Porgy and Bess."

In 1959 Birgit Nilsson sang for the first time at the Met in TRISTAN UND
ISOLDE, a performance that received a rave review on the *front page* of
THE NEW YORK TIMES. Later that season, Nilsson sang Aida, which (you
guessed it) is another one of Zinka's favorite operas. Mme. Milanov not
only attended the performance, she paid a personal visit to congratulate
Mme. Nilsson afterward in her dressing room. Milanov exited the stage
door (to the thunderous applause of her many fans) and, drawing her
sable coat around her, stepped into a waiting limousine. And then she
stepped *out* of the limousine, looking puzzled. Oops, it turns out she
was in the wrong car -- Birgit Nilsson's car, to be exact.

But Zinka is ready with a quip. "Vell," she says, "Since Madame Nilsson
is taking *my* roles, I thought it vould only be fair if I took her
Rolls!"

You're both right. Trump has no dick *and* his dick is what he thinks with.

And, having seen the quality of Donald Trump's thinking, you will agree
with me that he has no dick.

I knew someone like that. He wasn't short enough to be a dwarf, but his head
definitely belonged on someone about 6" taller.

This reminds me of all the clever camera angles that were used for Alan Ladd,
not to mention the box he stood on whenever he had to play vis-a-vis with
someone. They must have to do something similar for Tom Cruise, although I
don't recall ever reading anything about it.

I'd rather see celebs with no upper lip than ones with freakishly large,
artificially enhanced with colligen upper lips. So many female celebs
have pumped up their upper lips to the point where they look awful, no
upper lip is a refreshing change.

I can't think of any with no upper lip, but one with TOO MUCH upper lip sure
comes to mind. When is Melanie Griffith going to S-T-O-P getting them stupid
injections in her upper lip? She looks so freakish. I wish someone would tell
her that they look like S***.
