It wasn't just Macauley Culkin trying to expand his acting horizons in 'Party Monster' (and then probably wishing he hadn't bothered). Seth Green was in on the act as well. In Green's case he played the part of James St James, the cross-dressing member of the so-called 'Club Kids' who went on to become a writer and 'famous for being famous' celebrity years after the club scene he was part of ended.
It was St James who wrote the original book 'Disco Bloodbath' upon which 'Party Monster' was based. Green, straight in real life but also known for being clean-cut, was always a strange choice to play him on screen. If nothing else, he managed to look fantastic in the costumes, and he's since gone on to have a fantastic career as a producer and director, as well as lending his voice to Chris Griffin on 'Family Guy.'
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
