Celebrities You’ve Never Heard Of: The D’Amelio Sisters
Don’t scold yourself if you don’t recognize the names of Charlie and Dixie D’Amelio. They are widely known, but no one over 20 has heard of them because this is how teen fame works.
Charlie’s quest for adolescent stardom began in March 2019 when she started uploading dance videos to TikTok, and within a year she was the most watched account there with over 87 million followers. Not bad for a 16 year old.
Dixie’s older sister started the family business later: she’s nineteen, but like her younger sister, Dixie gained millions of fans on social media, apparently within minutes of creating her account, including 18 million Instagram followers and over five million YouTube subscribers. … Dixie is a singer and her first single “Be Happy ” has been played 80 million times since it was posted on YouTube two months ago.
The sisters have already made enough money to live several lives, but they probably shouldn’t worry about spending it too quickly; Like all teenage stars, money and fame will surely last for the rest of your life.
Internet threat of the week: tartar
TikTok and YouTube users are trying to kill your child … or at least ruin their teeth. The newest trend, in which parents and sane adults are in full swing: Teens with ugly jaws file their own teeth with a nail file and share a video about it. If your mouth hurts just by thinking about it, don’t watchthese videos.
Thankfully, there is a balancing power of sanity on social media, including Bentist, the real dentist on Instagram and YouTube, whose shocked reaction video is priceless.
“Oh no,” the almost speechless orthodontist mutters, “you can’t do this to yourself … I don’t make excuses.”
Dentists say that applying a file to your teeth can lead to sensitivity, pain, nerve damage and tooth decay, but on the other hand, what do they know? Have you seen how expensive braces are these days? Maybe these kids noticed something. (It is not. Seriously, this is bad.)
