Ladies! Want some beautiful dimples that nature has forgotten to give you? Fret not: check out this invention by one Isabella Gilbert:

The device consists of a face-fitting stpring carrying two tiny knobs which press into the cheeks.

From the Oct 1936 issue of Modern Mechanix

    Wait...but do the those forced dimples disappear when you take this thing off?

    Why would you want to have a metal thing on your face just to get dimples?

    You can get huge dimples if you sleep on the folds in your pillowcase. But they're not very attractive.

    They should at a knob to create a chin-dimple.

    Well, if you smile often you'll get natural dimples.

    Okay, assuming that contraption actually made permanent or even semi-permanent dimples... wouldn't they show even when the person has a relaxed face (which would be weird and not cute)?

    Smiling more doesn't give you natural dimples.

    but does it work for buttdimples as well?

    ooo! I grew up in Rochester NY. I just learned a new fact about Rochesterian inventors. I promise we have better invetors than this lady, i.e. Kodak & Xerox.

    How funny! My wife is always commenting about my "cute dimples." I never quite had the nerve to tell her that I had no idea of what she was talking about. Now I know!!! LOL!

    its easy to get dimples, it may take a bit of time.
    you just need to poke your cheeks with ur fingers.
    i do it with two fingers on each side, you gotta do it equaly on both cheeks or it will look awkward.

    I have dimples, but they're not in a place where you'd want them. They're actually cellulite. Unfortunately for me, they're placed around my thighs and are extremely noticeable when I'm sitting. I wish I could have dimples on my face instead, but that's merely impossible. This device does not look the least bit promising, nor does it look comfortable nor pleasing.

    Actually, I have dimples now when I never have in earlier years, but then again in earlier years I was very "unhappy" and now that I've smiled A-L-O-T, I have some that I'm complimented on when I smile :)

    So, yes, smile VERY often WILL give you natural dimples- and it compliments your facial features with a more kiddish look :D

    Hahas- I'm fourteen and I sound liikke I'm eighteen or whatever :P Silly vocabulary, get out of my system.
