Just by looking at a picture of Vanda Von Odd, you can tell she's no 'Drag Race' star. The name is something of a giveaway, too! A show as strange as 'Dragula' needed an unconventional star to get it off the ground, and Von Odd was that star. She won the first season hands down. That might be because everyone was too afraid of her to tell her that she hadn't won! Incredibly, she'd never been paid for a single drag appearance in her life before she appeared on the show. Just like with Biqtch Puddin', it changed her life.
Von Odd believes that 'Dragula' is changing what it means to be a drag queen, combining the world of drag with the world of alternative music and gothic lifestyles to create something new, and that the process will continue when the third season of the show airs later in 2019. When she's not scaring the wits out of people with her drag act, Von Odd takes on conventional acting work under her real name of Antonio Yee.
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.
