Susan Sarandon Prefers Mushrooms to Acid When She’s at Burning Man

the high life Susan Sarandon drug culture Burning Man

When asked if she ever used psychedelics while attending Nevada’s Burning Man Festival, the 67-year-old actress told the Daily Beast that these days she prefers mushrooms to acid because she “doesn’t like to feel speedy.” She then weighed in on when the best time to smoke weed is. Go, Susan. 

From Page 6:

I’m not new to the idea of mushrooms. I don’t really like chemical things, really. Timothy Leary was a friend of mine, so that acid was nice and pure, but I’m not really looking for chemicals, and I don’t like to feel speedy. But I’ve done Ayahuasca and I’ve done mushrooms and things like that. But I like those drugs in the outdoors — I’m not a city-tripper.”

As for marijuana, Sarandon suggests not smoking if you have responsibilities to attend to. “My attitude about marijuana or anything is, ‘Don’t be stoned if you have to pretend you’re not,’ so I’d never do drugs if I was taking care of my kids,” explained the ping-pong queen. “I like doing it in the Grand Canyon, or in the woods. You want to be prepared and not have responsibilities.”

The conversation soon shifted to the drug becoming decriminalized in New York. Sarandon thinks it will be legal everywhere soon.

“Certainly, if more people were smoking instead of drinking, people don’t get mean on weed, don’t beat up their wives on weed, and don’t drive crazy on weed,” she said. “They just get hungry, don’t go out of the house, or laugh a lot. I think it would make for a much more gentle world.”

Elsewhere in the Daily Beast interview, she goes after Woody Allen, saying:

I think he really tore that family apart in a way that was horrible, and hasn’t really dealt with the aftermath. He’s always had a reputation for being with younger girls—I mean younger girls. And also, that young woman [Soon-Yi] was very vulnerable, and I think it was very hard for the siblings, and certainly for Mia. You just don’t go there. You don’t go there.

All the Love and Respect in the World to Andreja Peijic

trans icons supermodels Andreja Pejic Andrej Pejic

Bosnian-born supermodel Andrej Peijic has come out as transgender and said that going forward she will only be modeling women’s clothing “and has received support from her agency, friends and family.” Accordingly, she will now be called Andreja, saying “I added an ‘a’ because it’s not a full transformation — it’s just an evolution.”

Andreja told GLAAD: “To all trans youth out there, I would like to say respect yourself and be proud of who you are. All human beings deserve equal treatment no matter their gender identity or sexuality. To be perceived as what you say you are is a basic human right.”

She also posted a selfie on Facebook with the following message to her fans: “I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for the love and support throughout the years. You’ve all helped me through this journey and I have learned a lot and really come into my own and the response to today’s announcement truly overwhelmed me and reminds me of why I chose to do this publicly.”

She gave an interview on her transition to In Style. Here are some choice excerpts:

How do you identify?
I identify as a female.

You seem to have had a firm understanding of your identity at an early age. Was growing up as a boy difficult? 
Gender dysphoria is never an easy thing to live with, mainly because people don’t understand it. For most of my childhood, I knew that I preferred all things feminine, but I didn’t know why. I didn’t know that there was an explanation. I didn’t know about the possibilities. And then I went on sort of a boyhood campaign from age 9 to about 13. I tried to be a “normal” boy because I felt like my options were either to be a gay boy or a straight boy. I didn’t feel that I was gay, so I didn’t know that there were any other options until the age of 13, when I went online and discovered that there’s a whole community of trans people out there. There are doctors, there’s medical care, there’s research, and that was an eye-opener for me. From that day on, I knew what I had to do.

Are there any myths you’d like to debunk? Or is there anything else you want the general public to understand about SRS and transgender people?
I would like them to understand that we are people. We’re human beings, and this is a human life. This is reality for us, and all we ask for is acceptance and validation for what we say that we are. It’s a basic human right.

You’ve legally changed your name from Andrej to Andreja. Why was that important to you?
I added an “a” because it’s not a full transformation —it’s just an evolution. I thought about whether I should change it or not for a while. In the West, Andrej isn’t really a masculine name. But I think [the name change] is something that my mom really wanted because, traditionally, Andrej is a Christian Orthodox name, and in that religion, it’s definitely a male name. So I kept the “j” and added an “a,” which actually becomes a name that I don’t think exists. But I wanted to keep the “j” because that’s me. That’s my name.

How did your modeling agents react when you told them you were having SRS?
It’s been an interesting experience. I had the surgery early this year, and I told my men’s agent at DNA about two weeks before the operation. I just said, “This is what’s happening,” because I didn’t want anything to stop me. I had decided. And then recently, I had a meeting with the women’s [team], and they’ve been very positive about moving from the men’s board to the women’s board, which is amazing. It’s something I guess no one’s ever done.

How do you feel your transition from an androgynous male model to a female model will impact your career?
I hope everything goes well. [SRS] was a personal decision. I took this step, and I said to myself, My career is just going to have to fall into place around it. So I hope that I can continue my success. I think I’ve shown that I have skills as a model, and those skills don’t just go away. I’ve had experience. I’ve been around the block.

Do you feel the fashion industry has been welcoming and supportive throughout your career?
I got my success very quickly, and the media attention has been pretty positive. People like Jean Paul Gaultier, Carine Roitfeld, and Juergen Teller have been extremely supportive. But my biggest challenge was to not always be pigeonholed, and also to make [androgyny] commercially successful, because when I started, it was such a new thing. Still, there are a lot of roadblocks, particularly when working with cosmetic brands or perfumes or those sort of commercial, corporate things. It’s been more difficult to break into that world than “fashion” because it hasn’t been done before. They don’t have any market research, and people in that world aren’t risk takers. You have to prove to them over and over that you are liked by people, you have a skill, and you can sell a product.

Have you had any experiences in castings, etc., that have been particularly frustrating?
Oh, yeah, especially in the beginning, when I first moved to London. It was like, I’d walk into the boys’ casting, and they were like, “No…you don’t belong here.” And then at the girls’ casting, they were like, “Why are they sending us boys?” So it took time for everyone to get on board. It wasn’t all sweet sailing.

When I first met you last year, you already seemed like a pretty confident individual. Do you feel more comfortable—or more you— since having the SRS?
I think from my teenage years, when I decided I needed to express my femininity, I was happy with the way I looked. But SRS is kind of the last part—it’s sort of the icing on the cake. It makes me feel freer than ever. Now I can stand naked in front of a mirror and really enjoy my reflection. And those personal moments are important.

But you’ve always been gorgeous. Did you not enjoy your reflection before?
Not fully naked.

Has going through this transition as a public figure been very difficult?
There’s a difference between coming out to your family and close friends, and coming out to the whole world and opening yourself up to judgment. When I was younger, I just wasn’t ready for that. Even now, it’s hard to navigate. I try to concentrate on myself and what I really need, but there are so many other factors that go into it. You have to figure out timing, you have to figure out agencies. Public perception influences that. It’s a lot of pressure, and modeling is a lot of pressure anyway. I think most models have to live up to something, and they struggle with that. So to have that on top of this, there have definitely been difficult moments.

If I may ask, how do you think the SRS will impact your personal and romantic life? Is that something you’re excited about exploring?
Yeah, I’m very happy with this new situation, and I’m happy to keep exploring.

Are you dating anyone?
No, I’m single. I’m open to love, so I’m taking some time off for myself now. I think that’s necessary. We’ll see. But you know, I feel more comfortable than ever, more confident than ever, and I’m ready to face the world.

Salon has a fascinating investigation into the history of swearing.

“Buzzenfreude” – Why everyone is gleefully pouncing on BuzzFeed’s plagiarism scandal, at Slate.

Gay Cities lists the 11 types of gay bars, and why they matter now more than ever.

Bear with me. One last column on the Great T-Word Debate of 2014 – From Slate: “Conservatism in the LGBTQ Movement.”

“Sing to Me, O Muse (But Keep It Brief): The New York Times says the future of poetry lies on Twitter.

The Washington Post pointedly notes that in 13 seasons, Project Runway has yet to launch a true fashion star (as they repeatedly promise).

In The Daily Mail: John McCain condemns the two-hour execution of Arizona killer Joseph Rudolf Wood, saying it was “torture.” And the man knows from torture. What gets me is that they can euthanize a dog in 15 seconds, but for some reason they keep botching up these executions. Something’s just not right.

The Independent says that watching TV after work makes you feel like a failure. I could have told them that.

i-D takes Suzy Menkes to task for revealing the identity of the Maison Martin Margiela designer (fashion’s biggest secret).

And finally… The REAL problem with sexy profile pics.

New York magazine explains that it’s not so much white gays stealing from black women, but white gays stealing from black drag queens, which makes it all OK? Hmmmm. But aren’t the black drag queens ALSO stealing from black female culture? Which, by the transitive property, leads us right back to the beginning? I don’t know.  I’ve lost track of who’s right and who’s wrong.

Black women, it seems, are ALSO upset with Iggy Azalea who “mistakes appropriation for artistry, and [pushes them] to the sidelines” – this, according to Salon.

i-D magazine has a piece on how Instagram’s constant stream of it-girls with fabulous gifted outfits at A-list parties can make you absolutely LOATHE fashion.

In PAPER: Mikey Musto lists the 10 WORST CLUBS IN NEW YORK HISTORY.

The Washington Post explains the plan to split up California into six separate states, and why.

Salon has the story of a Virginia father who recently traveled to Bir Tawil, an 800 square mile territory between Egypt and Sudan, to plant a flag designed by his three children and, thanks to a century-old land dispute over one of the few remaining unclaimed lands in the world, declared it for his 7 year-old daughter Emily. Making her the princess of North Sudan. What a great dad. I’m sure she’s not going to grow up to be an entitled brat. No sireee.

Salon also disputes Malcom Gladwell’s 10,000 minute rule: “If you practice the necessary 10,000 hours you can reach the zenith of your field.” I do, too, for the record.

And finally, in The New York Times: Stalking the shadow universe of dark energy. I don’t get it either, but I’m sure nuclear-physicist-tuned-astronaut Scarlett Johansson  will be exploring it in a summer blockbuster this time next year.

Miracle Invention Fills 100 Water Balloons a Minute!!!

Josh Malone, a Texas-based father of eight, has REVOLUTIONIZED modern water balloon warfare as we know it. This is INSANE: His new invention, Bunch O Balloons, is capable of filling 37 water balloons in 20 seconds (or, as he claims, 100 in a minute). His Kickstarter, which hoped to raise $10,000 for production, has already reached $580,000… with 23 days to go. I’m thinking we’re the era of deadly water balloon massacres is upon us .

From Bored Panda:

The fixture works by splitting a water hose’s stream into 37 separate hoses, each of which fills a small water balloon. These water balloons each have their own small black elastic band, which means that they close themselves when the user gently shakes them off of the hose.

From his Kickstarter:

Forget the trials of filling and tying countless individual balloons, Bunch O Balloons takes all the hassle of preparing for a water fight and lets you just enjoy the fun! Simply secure the pre-packaged attachment to a hose and you’ll have 100 water balloons ready to use in one minute. We promise it’s truly that easy, see the steps below:

Anna May Wong Biopic in the Works?

0
0

Anna May Wong, the iconic Chinese-American star of the 1920s and ’30s, might finally be getting the big-screen respect she deserves. Shanghai-based Fundamental Films is developing Dragon Lady about Anna May Wong, possibly starring the beautimous Chinese actress-singer Fan Bingbing.

Says the Hollywood Reporter:

Wong rose to fame with her role in 1924′s Thief of Bagdad with Douglas Fairbanks, but her career was plagued by offers to play negative stereotypes of Chinese females and was limited by American anti-miscegenation laws that prevented her from sharing an on-screen kiss with a person of another race. She appeared in Daughter of the Dragon, Daughter of Shanghai, and, with Marlene Dietrich, in Josef von Sternberg’s Shanghai Express.

Wong grew up in a poor neighborhood in downtown Los Angeles. She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and is depicted in the the Four Ladies of Hollywood statues at La Brea and Sunset along with Dolores del Río, Dorothy Dandridge and Mae West.

Let’s gaze upon her magnificence in the classic pics and GIFs below, and hope that the upcoming movie will feature some of these ultra-chic looks.

First Look: The Simpsons/Family Guy Crossover Episode

0
0

Yes, both shows are 10 years past their sell-by dates, but you know you’re so going to watch. Over the weekend, Comic-Con attendees were the first to see this epic teaser for the long-awaited Simpsons-Family Guy crossover when it was aired during the Family Guy panel.

Says Rolling Stone magazine:

The nearly five-minute teaser finds the Griffins stuck in Springfield, where Peter cautions his family not to drink the water: “Everybody around here looks like they have hepatitis.” As the families merge, Bart introduces Stewie to his prank-call hobby (Stewie doesn’t quite get the premise) and Peter and Homer bond over donuts. The friendship between the two patriarchs sours, however, when Homer tries Peter’s Patriot Ale, which he calls “a lousy rip-off of Duff.” Peter objects in terms that allude to the relationship between the two animated series. “It may have been inspired by Duff, but I like to think it goes in a different direction,” he says. The clip also includes meta-references to The Cleveland Show and Bob’s Burgers.

That same night, FOX will air the much-anticipated episode where one of the Simpsons characters dies. Word on the street? It’s Krusty. OMG, SPOILER ALERT! SORRY.

Awwww. Dylan O’Brien leaving the Comic-Con after-party looking like a sweaty mess. Coincidentally, ONTD also has pics of the Teen Wolf star onstage at the Young Hollywood Awards the other night looking like a… sweaty mess. And if you’ll recall, last week, we posted a pic of Dylan at the Giffoni Film Festival in Italy looking like… you guessed it: a sweaty mess. See below. Hmmm. Now I happen like sweaty boys, but I sure hope he gets this little problem under control before people start talking.
