Top 5 Thirstiest Celebrities and Public Figures and Their Crimes
By Theresa Pedone
5) Logan Paul
Claimed Occupation: YouTube Personality
Crime: Tone deaf acts of visual tyranny
When visiting the Aokigahara Forest in Japan, (known famously as the “suicide forest”) and discovering the body of a deceased man hanging from a tree, Paul continued to film his adventure for followers and then subsequently post to his YouTube channel. He’s trash.
4) Jeffree Starr/James Charles/Tati Westbrook/Shane Dawson/Laura Lee/Manny MUA
Claimed Occupations: YouTube Makeup Artists (MUAs) and Influencers
Crime: Overuse of the filmed apology
Teary, bleary-eyed, staged, YouTube public apologies after being called out by fans or other
MUA’s for misogynistic, racist, xenophobic and transphobic behavior and comments. You just
came to learn how to create a flawless winged eyeliner lewk and you fell into a chasm of
controversy. Is no place safe?
3) Jax Taylor
Claimed Occupation: Reality Star/Entrepreneur/Shitty Bartender
Crime: Attention at any cost
While the Bravo Network recently drained the swamp at Vanderpump Rules by axing original players Stassi and Kristin alongside newbie bros Brett and Max for a milieu of racial offenses, the truly awful Jax Taylor remains untouched. Whether it’s tweeting racist comments at other reality stars, obsessing over co-star Ariana Maddix’s bisexuality or pathologically lying and cheating, Jax has made a career of villainy to the tune of $25,000/episode.
2) Amber Heard
Claimed Occupation: Actress/Activist
Crime: False victimhood
Utilizing the #MeToo movement to position herself as a victim of spousal abuse at the hands of former husband Johnny Depp only to find out in court proceedings and taped conversations that Heard physically attacked Depp on several occasions, stoking the powder keg relationship that was doomed from the start. Neither side is innocent in this situation, but utilizing #MeToo for simultaneous public sympathy and career growth is just gross.
1) Donald J. Trump
Claimed Occupation: President?
Crime: Relentless Need for Validation
Tweets at 3am stoking the flames of his racist, xenophobic, homophobic, pro-police, pro-gun, anti-choice base are one thing. We aren’t even shocked anymore. It’s those “look at what amazing thing I did today” tweets that have eyes rolling. Not only are most of them unfettered lies and/or calculated exaggerations but they are CONSTANT. The lunatic in chief has a litany of daddy issues and we see through it: “Give me love, give me love right now or else!” We did not sign up to be your therapist, Mr. President. Please resign and find a mental health expert.

Memory ones or “Martha! Don’t you remember me?!”
Wherein someone is in their town and no one remembers them OR they don’t remember anything about their life.
(Examples : Where is Everybody?, The Hunt, Person or Persons Unknown, Little Girl Lost)
​
Deal with the Devil
In which the person has a specific skill or power that ends up getting them into trouble or biting them in the end.
(Examples : The Four of us are dying, A Nice place to visit, It’s a good life, A Game of pool)
​
Alien ones
A more diverse group, Alien centered episodes have everything from there being one lone Alien in a diner to a race of Aliens descending upon earth A la ‘War of the Worlds’
(Examples : The Monsters are due on Maple Street, The invaders, Mr. Dingle the strong, Will the real Martian please stand up?, To Serve Man, Hocus Pocus and Frisby)
​
Gaslighting ones
Where someone believes something to be true and EVERYONE tries to convince them they are wrong. Similar, in a way, to memory ones but in this case the person is right, or at least valid in their beliefs and the world is against them.
(Examples : A world of difference, The After hours, Eye of the Beholder, The Obsolete man, Nightmare at 20,000 Feet)
​
Stranded!
Ones in which a group of astronauts or civilians get stranded somewhere and it’s a bottle episode of them discovering either the terrain, something about their party, or both.
(Examples : Zoo, Elegy, And When the Sky was opened, I shot an arrow into the air, Five Characters in search of an exit)

The Hard Femme
If I were a cocktail, I would be this cocktail--the tough edge of whiskey dressed up as a pink, floral drink.
This is not just my signature drink because of the aesthetic, but because there is nothing more punk than practicality. This drink is designed to settle one’s nerves and stomach as rye whiskey, ginger beer, and lime all have digestive benefits. With how the world is right now, I’m sure plenty of people are sick to their stomachs. Hopefully, this concoction will help.
The first thing you need to do is make hibiscus simple syrup.
This is a very simple (hence the name) process that should be done in advance. Measure out (1) cup of water
and bring it to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in an equal measurement of sugar and a small spoonful of dried
hibiscus flowers. You can make this in any quantity you want, but this is a good starting amount.
This is a pretty standard way to make any simple syrup, so feel free to experiment
with other flavors. Let the liquid sit until it cools and the syrup will infuse with the
flowers and turn dark pink. Strain and you are ready to make some Hard Femmes.
Next:
* Add (2) ounces of your favorite rye whiskey to a rocks glass of ice.
If you don’t have a favorite, I suggest Bulleit, Redemption, or
Knob Creek for good, reasonably priced options.
* Next add (1) ounce of the hibiscus syrup you worked so hard on as well as (0.5)
ounce of lime juice. I prefer freshly squeezed juice, but store bought is fine.
* Shake (or stir thoroughly if you don’t own a shaker) and return your cocktail to its glass.
* Get excited, you’re almost done!
* Top it off with ginger beer to fill (I favor Fever Tree for a less sweet, spicy option)
and garnish with a lime wedge if you want to add just a little more citrus.
* Make sure you don’t shake the ginger beer as it’s carbonated and otherwise your drink will explode.
