Smile ancient art of padding =?

Scenario:

(Lisa entered in a beauty contest. One day her mom, Marge, and brother Bart were talking to Lisa.)

Marge: This afternoon I'll take you to the beauty parlor and show you just how lovely you can be.

Bart: And later, I'll teach you the tricks of the trade taping your swimsuit to your butt petroleum jelly on your teeth for that frictionless smile and the ancient art of padding.

Question:

ancient art of padding =?

Thanks!
