The Favourite did what Sofia Coppolas Marie Antoinette failed to doinspire a revolution in period piece aesthetics. Since Yorgos Lanthimos oddball royal court dramedy swept the Oscars, Apple TV+s Dickinson, HulusThe Great, Autumn de Wildes Emma, and Greta Gerwigs Little Women have all found success in injecting contemporary style and a modern sensibility into the standard historical drama template. And for its first episode, at least, Amazon Prime Videos interwar drama The Pursuit Of Love follows suit. When young British cousins Linda Radlett (Lily James) and Fanny Logan (Emily Beecham) meet their neighbor Lord Merlin (Fleabags Andrew Scott), the eccentric aristocrat is introduced in a fantasy sequence that channels ballroom culture by way of glam rock. Set to T. Rexs Dandy In The Underworld, the glitter-filled scene filters a late 1920s experience through a distinctly modern visual language in order to make this meeting of minds feel as alive as it would have to its characters. Its an exhilarating mix of style and substance.

Hour-long period dramedy; complete limited series watched for review

Its just a shame the rest of the show cant keep up that level of verve. After the premiere launches the series with visual flair and a unique point of view, the next two episodes slowly devolve into more standard period piece fare. Despite its initial promise of quirky innovation, The Pursuit Of Love is mostly anchored by the familiar building blocks of a BBC co-production: sumptuous costuming, gorgeous cinematography, and strong performances. Based on Nancy Mitfords 1945 novel of the same name, the show can only intermittently keep its spark of originality alive. The Pursuit Of Love oftenstruggles to blend its kitschy comedic sensibilities with its more dramatic beatsalthough its a joy to watch when it does.

Set between 1927 and 1941, The Pursuit Of Love centers on the divergent experiences of its two female leads. Plain, pragmatic Fanny (Beecham) was given a good education but has a natural timidity and a desire not to rock the boat that sets her on the path towards a conventional life of mid-20th-century womanhood. Linda (James), meanwhile, is a beautiful, free-spirited rebel who lives in a world of superlatives. Her stern father (Dominic West, hilarious and terrifying) believes women shouldnt be educated and raises his children in what amounts to a glamorous prison at their wealthy country estate. That leaves Linda both woefully nave and desperate to escape, which sets her on a series of complicated romantic entanglements that come to define her tragicomic life. Love may be her religion, but shes worshipping at a fickle altar.

The three-episode series is adapted and directed by Emily Mortimer, who also has a small role as Fannys mother The Bolter, the responsibility-averse serial monogamist that Fanny and Linda define their lives against. Mortimer zeroes in on the either/or limitations put on upper class women in this era: They can be dutiful wives and mothers with social respectability but not a whole lot of fun or freedom (the stickers). Or they can put their own needs before that of their spouses and children, carving out a sense of independence but losing their social respect in the process (the bolters). Fanny and Lindas friendship is defined by the way they alternately fear and crave what the other has. As in her previous series, Doll & Em, Mortimer is interested in complex relationships between women. Linda and Fanny share both an aspirational intimacy and a toxic co-dependency, which Mortimer allows to ebb and flow in realistic and compelling ways.

G/O Media may get a commission

The main problem with The Pursuit Of Love is that it very much feels like a novel condensed into a limited series formnot least of all because of Fannys near-incessant narration throughout the series. The focused first episode gives way to a jam-packed second installment that weaves its way across England before hopping to 1930s Hollywood, a refugee camp at the border of the Spanish War, and eventually Gay Paree. The supporting characters are thinly sketched, while the relationship between Fanny and Linda battles for screen time with Lindas various romantic conquests. The Pursuit Of Love either needed more episodes to explore its decade-long story or Mortimer needed to be a little more judicious in what she cut from the source material.

It doesnt help that Linda is like a cross between Downton Abbeys Lady Rose andMamma Mia! Here We Go Agains Donna Sheridan, with a dash of War And Peaces Natasha Rostova. This isnt just a part James could play in her sleep, but one she basically already has. Though James effortlessly zings between flirtatious fun and deep melancholy, shes missing a spark of freshness as this Bright Young Thing, especially when she has to spend the entire first episode playing a teenager. Its yet another element of familiarity that weighs down The Pursuit Of Love. While the shows focus on female friendship and feminist themes is appreciable, its not all that radical to see a British period piece center on relationships between beautiful, upper class white womenas much of James own career can attest.

Instead, the most relevant themes that emerge from The Pursuit Of Love are about what its like to live at a time when it feels like the world is about to end. With war in Europe imminent, Linda initially tries to find purpose in communism only to eventually bury herself in a frivolous life of shopping and luxury instead. She was possessed by a calm and happy fatalism, Fanny explains in voiceover as Linda meets the rise of fascism by purchasing yet another new outfit. Its not entirely unlike the way we must all figure out how to cope in the current face of climate change, a global pandemic, and yet another rise in fascism. Like the glam rock montages and wry Wes Anderson-inspired cutaways, Lindas glamorous nihilism adds a spiky edge that occasionally jazzes up The Pursuit Of Loves classic period piece formula with something new.

How the Director of HBO’s ‘Woodstock 99’ Doc Cut Through the Chaos of the Infamous Festival – Thrillist

Posted: at 1:21 pm

Director Garrett Price wanted his new documentary Woodstock 99: Peace, Love, and Rage, a deep-dive chronicle of one of the most disturbing music festivals in pop-culture history, to kick off with a song that evoked the mood of a '90s road trip movie. He settled on Lit's alt-rock radio hit "My Own Worst Enemy," the type of blaring guitar anthem that, for Price, brought to mind images of "Jason Biggs driving upstate with his friends in a car for a weekend of partying." If you know anything about Woodstock '99, a four-day descent into Limp Bizkit and Kid Rock soundtracked chaos in Rome, New York that ends with human waste pouring out on the ground and flames rising in the sky, you know the good vibes will not last long.

Premiering on HBO Friday night as the first entry in Music Box, a series of documentaries produced by sports media impresario Bill Simmons and The Ringer, Woodstock 99: Peace, Love, and Rage has a difficult task for itself. Over two hours, it attempts to tell a tick-tock narrative of the festivalwhich was reported on extensively at the time by outlets like Spin and MTV, and recently explored on a Ringer-produced podcast hosted by writer Steven Hyden, who appears as a talking head in this filmand connect it to larger cultural events of the period, like Bill Clinton's impeachment, the Columbine shootings, Y2K anxiety, and the transition from the vaguely progressive aspirations of early '90s alternative rock to the often hopeless nihilism and vile sexism of the nu metal era. It's a lot of (muddy) ground to cover.

By relying on footage from the festival, along with interviews with attendees, music journalists, festival staff, and artists like Moby, Jewel, Korn's Jonathan Davis, Creed's Scott Stapp, and more, the film paints an often unsettling portrait of white male anger, misogyny, and violence. Price, who previously directed Love, Antosha about the actor Anton Yelchin, spoke about the challenges of tying all the threads in the story together, the musicians who declined to tell their side of the story, and his own complicated relationship with the festival.

Thrillist: You're about 40 years old, I believe. Do you have a personal connection to Woodstock '99? What do you remember about that time?Garrett Price: I was a sophomore in college at the University of Texas, glued to the pay-per-view feed that whole weekend with my roommates. It was interesting because, yes, we saw the chaos unfold over those three days but it was more like, "Man, I wish I was there." It was more of a FOMO than really understanding the issues at play and the tragedies that occurred. It wasn't until years later when I started doing a deep dive back into the festival and seeing it's never really been told and it kinda got swept under the rug a bit. Even more fascinating, a lot of people confuse Woodstock '99 and Woodstock '94 to this day even. They're like, "Is that the one with the mud and Nine Inch Nails and Green Day?" And I'm like, "No, this is the one that ended much differently."

So, this gave me an opportunity to do what I like to do with my films, which is use these micro events to think about some macro ideas. The cultural context and the socio-political context surrounding the festival of a time when I was coming of age is really interesting to go back to, especially when you start to see some of the threads to how things are today. That's what excited me about this whole project.

So, you were not a big nu metal fan? What were your musical allegiances?A lot of indie rock. But I listened to it. I mean, I grew up in Texas in the suburbs. I watched MTV. This was the music of my generation. I was really interested in exploring what it was about this music that, for how short-lived it was, made it very popular. It spoke to a lot of people at the time and I wanted to see why.

I'm glad you mentioned the pay-per-view aspect of it. How much footage is there, and what was the process like as a filmmaker culling through all of it and trying to find what you wanted to use?There was a ton. It was covered for three straight days, so we had access to that. But more important to me was we found all these attendees who had Handycams or mini-DV cams that whole weekend. We wanted to really capture that point-of-view that hadn't been seen before, that boots on the ground experience as those three days unfolded. That's what I got excited about. The pay-per-view was great for the performances, but it was really using those different experiences that kids were capturing on their cameras. Also, just the way it looks, the graininess of it, really speaks to the time. That's my vrit footage in the movie, what they captured and what they saw unfold in real time.

How did you find that footage? What was the process for reaching out to people and getting access to it?I had an amazing archivist and researcher who basically Twitter-stalked and YouTube-stalked these clips they would find. Tape-trading communities, also. There's all this stuff. These tapes were sitting in their parents house somewhere and they'd be like, "I haven't thought about this in a long time." So they'd retrieve it and mail it out to us. It was gold. It really helped tell the story I was starting to tell. And there was a lot of it.

Given the scope of the story and the runtime of the movie, was there footage you really wanted to include but had to cut?Yeah, there were a lot of stories and moments that were really interesting that we didn't have the time for. In the beginning, we were asking, "Would this work better as a series than as a film?" I was like, "No, this has a three-act structure." It takes place over three days. I don't think I could handle more than one episode of this story. I think it works as a film, as a single sitting experience. And, truthfully, Woodstock films have always been films versus series, so it always felt like the right format to tell the story in.

In addition to the festival footage, the movie has lots of interviews with artists. We know who said "yes" to participating in the movie because, obviously, they're in the movie. But I'm curious about the artists not in the film. For example, did you reach out to Fred Durst?I talked to Fred a couple of times. We had conversations, and ultimately he decided he didn't want to participate. He's kinda moved on from that. I respect and understand that. But at the same time, I wanted to give him a platform to tell his side of the story. It was funny because, as I started making this, it's so much more about Limp Bizkit, this story. They got a lot of pushback throughout their career because of this, and I don't think that's entirely fair. There's a lot of factors that lead to the downfall of this festival.

What I did find fascinating was, what was it about Limp Bizkit that spoke to this generation of attendees so much? That's something I was more excited to dig into. Yes, the performance is very visceral and it's crazy to go back and watch, especially from the eyes of the present COVID moment. But what was it about this band that spoke to this crowd and made them so locked in? Why did they have a meteoric rise at this time? And it was a relatively short-lived genre of music. Those were the things that really excited me in telling this story, and that's what I told Fred. And he seemed interested, but, ultimately, he decided it wasn't for him and that's totally fine. I'm very happy with the people who did participate in the film.

I assume you reached out to Kid Rock and the Red Hot Chili Peppers as well?Yeah, we reached out to everybody. Again, I wanted to give them a platform. I'm sitting back objectively. It's everyone's story to tell and their experiences. Everyone has different experiences, from John [Scher] and Michael [Lang] putting the thing on, to the attendees, to the musicians. I just wanted to create a platform for everyone to tell their story and what they remembered from it and then lay it all out there.

John Scher, especially, seems still very frustrated with the way MTV told the story at the time. How did you pitch this movie to him when you were talking to him about participating?Yeah, it was the same way. I want to use the story of Woodstock '99 as a lens into the culture of the time and raise this question: Was the festival a victim of its time? That thesis of mine changed as I got deeper and deeper into this. I think there's faults everywhere. I also said, "We're making this film whether you want to be a part of it or not, so this is a chance to tell your story." And it's a story he's stuck to since the beginning. He hasn't changed his mind over the years. Anything he's said in this film, it's stuff he's been reported on saying in the past.

I like John and Michael a lot. I think they're really interesting and they've been successful with what they've done in the music world. But I do think they represent a culture of people and a generation of people in some of the things they believe and say. That's one of the themes of this movie. There are these power dynamics between generations, along with gender, race, class, and other things. Those were some of the things that excited me about using Woodstock '99 to explore and talk about.

I think you could potentially make an entire film about the sexual assaults that occurred at Woodstock '99 and the culture of misogyny of that period. What were the conversations you had in the filming and editing process about how to present that aspect of the narrative?There was a fine line between being exploitative in showing what it is and still making it feel like you're boots on the ground there, and feeling the toxicity of the environment that was created. There's an inherent danger in marketing the ideas of the late '60s and the free love movement to the culture of Girls Gone Wild, FHM, and Maxim of the late '90s. That's what I wanted to come across. As far as telling stories, it's important because, yes, the festival got a lot of press about the assaults that happened, but to put images to this and see how it unfolded and see how if things are treated this way in the beginning, it's going to result this way in the end. That was really important to me. There are lots of tragedies that happened. I got close with David Vadnais, who lost his best friend there. I can't imagine going to a festival like this for the weekend of your life, and, without cellphones, not being able to find your friend and the way that ended.

These tragedies deserve their day in court because it's a polarizing event. I talked to a lot of kids who had the time of their livesor so they thought, until you start talking about some of these issues at hand, including some people who worked on this film who were there. I think they always thought of it as this incredible weekend and they have nostalgia for it, but as we started making this film, they started to question what they were a part of, and I hope that happens with the audience because it happened with me. I think you pull people in with the nostalgia of this event, it's an engaging story and you can be entertained, but at the same time, you can reflect on the culture of the time and the culture that's coming out with things like Britney Spears right now and just how people were treated. It's important to go back and look at this as we try to move on because the threads of where we are right now are there.

I wanted to ask about the presentation of some of those elements. Were there ever considerations about blurring faces or blurring the nudity in the film?Yeah, but it felt like we were hurting the story. David Derosia [an attendee who died a day after the festival from heat stroke] talks about it in his [journal]. His first entry is, "There are boobs everywhere, this is so cool." And then even he's getting tired of it. I needed people to feel that. That's important, I think, in telling this story. It felt like this oversaturation. But, again, without being exploitative. We were very careful of trying to find that fine line and making you present there. But this was in public. A lot of this was on the pay-per-view feed. This has been out there all along. It makes it that much more horrifying, I'm sorry to say, when there are faces involved. That's the point of thishow horrific some of the events were that happened.

The movie blends interviews with artists and attendees with commentary from culture writers like Wesley Morris. How did you attempt to find that balance between the story and the analysis?Finding that pace and rhythm of going back and forth with our A story and our B story, and going on these culture dives, that was important. I'm a longtime editor and I write by editing. I throw things up and I see what sticks. I had a great co-editor on this one, too.

You don't want to stay in those too long because you want to keep moving forward as the festival progresses. I think something we were able to lean into was the performance of music in this. Every song is chosen very thoughtfully and methodically. Every song in this doc should be working on two levels. There should be an amazing performance going on and the subtext should be suggesting something deeper. That was really calculated as we were making this film.

The film ends with a parallel between the failure of Woodstock '99 and the success of Coachella. What was the intent of drawing that comparison?I wanted to show the baton being passed over to the next big festival. But I think there are some faults in how Coachella is progressing and I wanted to bring up some of those. There's a pendulum and a cycle to these things, and I think some of these things are starting to crack as other festivals start to come along. It's also just fascinating that two months after Woodstock '99 there was this new event that basically took over the world of music festivals. Things are now described as "the Coachella of something" when they used to be described as "the Woodstock of something." I think it's really interesting.

Also, I sympathize with the town of Rome, New York. I think they saw this as something that could put them on the map. They went through this loss of the Air Force base and it's hard not to see the success of Coachella and wonder what could have happened if [Woodstock] had become an annual, or every five or 10 years, thing. So, yeah, there was a lot of reasoning for that.

This is the first Music Box documentary that Bill Simmons and The Ringer are producing for HBO. What type of feedback did you get from them and what was it like making the first entry in a new ongoing series?They were great. They were completely supportive the whole time. It was probably, as far as working with producers and EPs, one of the smoothest processes I've ever gone through, making this film. They were excited and enthusiastic and really pushed to get this airing so quickly because we all thought of it as a summer movie. Look, we're premiering on the 22nd anniversary of Woodstock '99, which is a dream come true, getting this story out there so quickly. Bill tells the type of stories I like to tell. It's kinda in the mold of 30 for 30. The strongest 30 for 30's were about these events in sports that had something to say about the world, and that's what made me excited about working with them because those are the stories I like to make and watch.

Raving With Hot Goths in Queens – The Cut

Im not usually someone who finds the idea of a crowded, sweaty warehouse rave that appealing. Nonetheless I ended up spending Saturday night with the collectiveNosferatu Incorporatedat one of their raves (though they preferred to call it a ball). For the most part, theyre a group of friends in their hot early-20s who hang out at HappyFun Hideaway. But now theyre trying to throw a post-pandemic party series, whose name is inspired not by the 1922 German Expressionist silent vampire film, but by aSpongeBob SquarePantsepisode that referenced it (anyone born in the 90s remembers the Hash-Slinging Slasher).

The Nosferatu backstory: Earlier this year, 22-year-old modelMegumi Rooneyand her friends were partying hard at Nowadays. On a trip to get a vape at the bodega, she met a guy who invited her and her friends to a party at the formerSpectrumspace. When they arrived, there were only five people on the dance floor. So they started posting about it on Instagram, telling their friends to pull up, and by the end of the night, there were hundreds of people dancing there. Impressed with their ability to draw a crowd, they started throwing parties professionally, backed by someone they call the investor. This weekend was their fifth event, aBaroque Ballat a red-brick building in Long Island City that used to be home to Club Exile, a punk-era discoteque. Megumi tells me it was actually their second choice of venue: The original spot was larger, but the owner suddenly died last week. She invited me along to see what it takes to throw a massive party, headlined by Eartheater, the Queens-based artist known for her experimental pop tracks and for being something of an ongoing muse to Casey Cadwallader, the creative director at Mugler.

Saturday night ended up being one of the best parties Ive been to this year. The looks were shockingly good, and the moody gothiness of it all felt right in tune with the trope-y nihilism of young Brooklyn in the careless post-pandemic summer. As Megumi told me, We wanted it to feel like the Renaissance after coming back from the pandemic. Or, put plainly by the girl working the door, Were just about like getting everyone together for one fucking sick night.

8:05 p.m. |Ive arrived early to see the party setup. Appropriately, lightning is streaking across the sky and thunder rumbling in the distance when the Nosferatu crew arrives in a frenzy of puffy white shirts, Regency-era wigs, and the occasional whale tail of a thong. Megumi is a stunning bloodySwan Lakefantasy, in a feathery white dress, towering heels covered in white papier-mch, and red sequins dripping down her powdered face, matching her red contacts. She moves fast but gingerly in the shoes, her black mullet somehow remaining unmussed as she hastily begins checking out the space. My nails are so long and I have to pee and I cant doanythingwith them, she says, zipping past me to the restroom and adding, Theres still a lot to do.

8:30 p.m. |The venue, which is starting to feel more like Frank-N-Furters sweet transexual mansion by the second one girl arriving dramatically in a black nightie on the back of a motorcycle covers two floors. On the first is a long bar, and upstairs is the ballroom, draped in white curtains. Overlooking the dance floor, theres a VIP mezzanine, where the group is setting up leather sofas, flower vases, and glass coffee tables that make it feel more like a therapists waiting room than an 18th-century salon. Trying to stay out of the way, I chat with a girl in long dangly earrings who is in charge of VIP bottle service ($299 for Titos, $359 for Patron) and she immediately says out loud what Im thinking: Whos going to order bottle service here?

8:45 p.m. |While Megumi continues to rush around a white fan in one hand, a vape in the other I check out the rooftop with her boyfriend, a very sexy, svelte fashion designer with a metal band across his nose. Hes hoping tonight will go smoothly, since some of the previous parties got shut down. The last one took place during Brooklynsfentanyl-in-the-coke craze. They stocked up on Narcan, but hypochondriacs kept using it up. Eventually, they ran out.

9:50 p.m. |Theentryway downstairs begins to fill with hoop skirts, giant bows, and miles and miles of silk, lace, and chiffon. Scanning the room, I cant find a single person not in costume, as well as several sets of exposed ass cheeks. The speakers play Bach, Vivaldi, and Handel. It feels like Im witnessing something important, not a rave. Like inBridgerton, theres something satisfying about the very diverse, very queer crowd in these stuffy old clothes, sexed-up with skimpy bottoms and boob-bearing tops. Powdered faces look strangely good with Bushwick mullets, and gloved fingers complement the many Telfar bags.

10:35 p.m. |Looking down at the dance floor, I watch as the music switches from Baroque to techno. The partygoers transition from some attempt at a three-step to fist pumping. A couple of voguers join the floor, and so does a built gay holding a lit votive candle in one hand and a White Claw in the other. A girl with fake black freckles and a fascinator tells me she has a theory for why so many parties like this one feel like knockoff Berghain: a Gen-Z change in the party drug of choice, from cocaine to ketamine.

11:34 p.m. |Out front, in the rain, I check out whats happening in line. When I ask one girl, in a black dress, what brought her here, she word vomits: My friends were going and then one of my friends couldnt go and then he was like, Here, do you want my ticket? Then I was like, Oh Eartheater, yes!And then I was like, Ohhh, its Baroque-themed, we get to dress up. Im a sucker for anything fancy. Further down the line, I meet a trans girl covered in pearl necklaces with bright-red Helena Bonham Carter hair. She uses cunt to describe everything, including the last Nosferatu party. She says she knows one of tonights DJs and then tells me, Im a whore, which she means professionally. She just moved to New York from Texas and apparently the clientele hasnt caught up yet; whereas she previously had sex with men with oil money, of late shes been mostly with bodega owners. A tiny white girl stops to tell her, You look like this old woman who works forTown and Country, and the trans girl shoots back, I look like an old woman?

11:54 p.m. |After talking to several others in line, it seems like the biggest draw tonight is not only the chance to get dressed up but also Eartheater, who will perform at midnight. On the way to meet her in her dressing room, people stop Megumi to compliment the party mostly the same phrase over and over again: Itsgiving. Eartheater is wearing long red braids, a mirror around her neck, and a blue dress with Oompa Loompa hips. While Megumi fans her, Eartheater spouts out a few directives: Make sure he has it on reverb! and I want the girls around me on the stage! and I need a DRINK!!! She does a few porpoise-y test shrieks into the microphone and steps onto the stage.

Midnight |The crowd goes nuts when they see her, but Eartheater isnt happy at first: Bring the mic down. Bring the music up. The sound is a mess. Before long, the rave feels more like a concert, with cries of I love this song! heard above the music. Twenty minutes later, Eartheater tells everyone, Its like a spirit came inside me. I feel possessed, before jumping into the crowd, surfing it face-up with her nipples out. From above, she reminds me of a red-haired Ophelia washing downstream, held up by her fans.

12:47 a.m. |Post-Eartheater, ball attendees revisit the bar downstairs while a choice crowd of friends of the collective head to the roof to cool off in the rain. Im gonna fall apart inside or out so I might as well stay in the rain, a woman with big hair says, before pointing out that the weather is ruining her drugs: The coke was already sticky and now its sticky icky. The party hits max capacity.

1:41 a.m. |I meet back up with Megumi, who, after lots of work and not that much personal letting loose, is ready to head back to her boyfriends apartment for a smaller after-party. Before she heads out, she deals with a problem in the dressing room a girl with giant lips is slumped in a chair, crying and saying shes been served a drugged drink. She says she cant move her limbs, so the organizers find her somewhere to lay down for a while until she feels better. Its like a physical ailment! she tells the room.

2:13 a.m. |The rain has stopped, so I head back to the roof, where I meet a model-filmmaker-photographer-wannabe stripper who bought a one-way ticket from Miami to party in New York. Tonight, he says, was giving. Hes not the only person in town for the ball. I also talk to a model who is visiting from Texas and went to a rave Nosferatu threw in Houston, saying, It fucking changed my life pretty much. It spoke to my soul. I was like,I need to be in New York I feel free. Now, shes planning to move here. It all sounds a bit earnest, but she speaks with the sweet, innocent perspective of a lost queer spending their first week in the big city: You are who you are. It doesnt fucking matter. You can wear what you want to wear and say what you want to say sometimes.

2:34 a.m.|The post-Eartheater recovery break is over, and the dance floor is once again packed and sweaty. In line for the bathroom, where someones cigarette butt is smoldering in a trash can, a short guy in a striped shirt says he missed his flight to L.A. this morning, so now hes here. Unfortunately, the guy he likes just left and now hes on the search for someone to go home with again: The person I wanted to take to my hotel, he said, My back hurts. And I was like, Good. I wouldve made that worse. I wouldve blown your back out.

3:13 a.m.|Near the bar, I meet two girls hanging out the window, smoking cigarettes. I trade them a swig of my drink for a smoke, and then they start distributing Purell. I ask what the highlight of their night was, and the shorter girl looks into the others eyes, saying, Doing coke and dancing with you. Her girlfriend is less sentimental, telling me, I saw Eartheaters boob. And I got her sweat on me, and thats all I could ever ask for.

3:35 a.m.|No matter the vodka Red Bulls Ive downed, Im starting to crave my bed. Before heading out, I stop to talk to the door girl, a long-haired blonde in a thong who tells me how she thinks this party is different from other Brooklyn nightlife. The dolls should be DJ-ing and the dolls should be organizing and the dolls should be running this shit. And we are. She tells me there was even an 86 list tonight, name-dropping a popular, partygoing drag queen who she claims is a white-twink abuser. Tonight its all about the family, the Nosferatu family, she says. Back in my Uber, a boy online messages me that he saw me inside, and when I ask how his night went, he DMs me back, Dancing to Sophie and looking hot with my friends was fucking wonderful.

Late night dispatches from a city ready to party.

Even though CBD oil would be great for all the mentioned conditions, you still need to stick to the right dose. Yes, even when treating anxiety. If you can use CBD oil correctly, you will not experience any side effects.

The brand uses U.S grown hemp, making it a trustworthy company. This is because such a hemp source has to live up to stringent measures in the U.S, ensuring quality is also consistent. That is how its products always contain less than 0.3 THC content. Some are even THC-free.

You can still get other products from the brand if you have to deal with other conditions. Such include creams and water-soluble CBD you can use in making meals.

Since you now know the importance of using CBD oil for anxiety disorders, you may be wondering just how much of it will be enough.

It does not matter whether you are using broad-spectrum CBD or any other type; you are advised to keep the dosage between 25 to 175mg. However, you will find most doctors advising you to stick to 25mg of CBD per day.

Only those who have a problem with sleeping can use broad-spectrum or full-spectrum CBD in higher doses. For them, it can go as high as 300 mg.

Insomnia or sleep disorder is something that affects millions of people around the world. Since people do not want to be addicted to prescription medications, some have started looking for other options to treat insomnia and social anxiety.

A couple of studies show that when you use CBD in high amounts, it may help with sleep disorders. That is why you may see CBD oil for sleep as a sought-after product today.

When a person is given a CBD dosage of 160 mg, the participant would experience increased sleep duration. That is why you would be advised to take at least 40mg of CBD if you want to sleep better.

The cortisol levels are known to also affect your sleep. Since it is a stress hormone, you do not want it to be at its peak when you need some sleep. Anyone suffering from insomnia would experience high levels of cortisol at night.

CBD interacts with receptors and chemicals in the brain responsible for producing a good nights sleep. CBD reduces REM sleep time, which is a sign of better sleep quality, meaning more NREM or dreamless sleep. NREM sleep is a time when mental and physical healing takes place. With CBD intake, you will find yourself more relaxed and sleep quality much better.

CBD researchers found that participants who used up to 600 mg of CBD enjoyed better sleep. This is because CBD affects the amount of cortisol released in the body, thus sedating their bodies for better sleep.

The use of either full-spectrum or broad-spectrum CBD oil has been on the rise. That is not going to slow down any time soon. As such, you may as well as also join others to use CBD oil for treating anxiety.

We have mentioned above more about the various brands you could use for finding the right CBD oil to handle anxiety or sleep. More brands include Joy Organics, Charlottes Web, and NuLeaf Naturals. So long as you can use the recommended dose, you should be good. Go ahead and give it a try to see how CBD oil helps with anxiety.

Hemp Oil vs CBD Oil : What They Are and Why It Matters… – marketscreener.com

Posted: at 1:21 pm

Cannabidiol (CBD) is becoming more mainstream, and as research and CBD-based products become more available, the easier it'll be for people to obtain them. And as more people get involved with or develop an interest in CBD, the easier it is for facts to become distorted and for misconceptions to occur.

One of the most common misunderstandings is hemp oil vs. CBD oil and whether they're the same thing.

CBD oil and hemp oil are not the same, mainly because hemp oil contains no CBD content. Additionally, hemp oil comes from cold-pressed hemp seeds, while CBD oil extracts CBD compounds from hemp plants' stalks, leaves, and flowers. But when comparing hemp oil vs CBD oil, you'll find that each has a unique set of benefits.

There's much confusion about the connection between hemp oil and CBD oil because the terms are often used interchangeably on several products. In many cases, hemp oil is rightfully used to refer to CBD oil.

But hemp oil is also frequently used to refer to hemp seed oil. And hemp seed oil is an entirely different product from CBD oil. While both come from Cannabis sativaplants and have beneficial effects, they are created differently and have different uses.

With this article, we'll discuss the following:

By gaining a deeper understanding of the difference between hemp oil and CBD oil, you can be assured that you're choosing the better product for you and your needs.

Hemp seed oil is a natural supplement that contains omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, B vitamins and vitamin D, and other nutritional antioxidants. Although its efficacy isn't entirely clear, hemp seed oil is usually eaten to maintain cardiovascular health.

Studies and anecdotal evidence suggest that hemp seed oil is useful for improving total cholesterol levels, high and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides. Other uses of hemp seed oil include constipation relief, better skin, improved gastrointestinal health, and a stronger immune system.

Because hemp seed oil serves as a great source of nutrients, it's typically added to other edible products like cookies, yogurts, loaves of bread, and snack bars. Consuming hemp seed oil is proven to be safe. There have been some consumer reports of digestive issues from using hemp seed oil, but it's not a common effect.

Hemp seed oil comes from the seeds of hemp plants. Manufacturers typically make hemp seed oil by cold-pressing Cannabis sativaseeds and refining the oil extraction. The process usually includes cleaning the seeds before pressing them to oil.

Because it's made from seeds, hemp seed oil doesn't have a cannabinoid profile. It contains no terpenes nor cannabinoids - more importantly, no traces of THC at all and zero CBD. Hemp seed oil is useful mainly as a dietary supplement or as a food oil.

Compared to other food-based oils, hemp seed oil contains high levels of polyunsaturated fat and small amounts of saturated fat. However, there are other ways to use hemp seed oil than just cooking with it.

Other than the nutritional values mentioned earlier, hemp seed oil also offers a few more different uses - mainly in skincare and PMS relief.

Research says hemp seed oil can help people with eczema; the study found that it may improve symptoms of the condition, including itching and dryness. According to the study, this response occurs from the effects of hemp seed oil's omega-6 and 3's fatty acid.

Cannabis sativais a natural source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which scientists have found can reduce inflammation that occurs with menopause. And studies suggest that hemp seed oil can help alleviate PMS symptoms by lowering the prolactin hormone.

Hemp seed oil contains many factors that separate it from CBD oil:

While CBD also has beneficial uses, it works entirely differently with the body compared to hemp seed oil, and it's made from another extraction method. But what is CBD, and how does it compare to hemp seed oil?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a cannabinoid naturally occurring in Cannabis sativa; it's an organic chemical that comprises about 40 percent of industrial hemp. It has no intoxicating properties, so it cannot induce any 'high' or euphoria.

CBD works by stimulating the endocannabinoid system- a biological structure common in all vertebrates. This system helps maintain homeostasis, the human body's natural balance of physical and chemical systems when responding to various physiological conditions.

Within the endocannabinoid system, CBD molecules attach to CB2 cannabinoid receptors that are connected to the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The PNS includes various organs and systems, such as the immune system, muscles, skin, and limbs.

CBD is typically the active ingredient in CBD oil. Still, depending on which CBD oil you're using - either broad spectrum, full spectrum, or CBD isolate - it may contain other cannabinoids that work synergistically with CBD, boosting its effectiveness.

CBD oil makers extract CBD from the leaves, stems, flowers, and stalks of matured hemp plants - not the seeds. And there are several extraction methodsused for pulling CBD from hemp material, including solvents, carbon dioxide, dry ice, and olive oil.

Once the CBD is pulled, manufacturers have to infuse the isolates into a carrier oil, so it's safe for human use. And most reputable makers of CBD oil use MCT oil as a carrier because of its benefits compared to other edible oils.

The quality of CBD oil is often influenced by how the CBD is extracted from the hemp material. And because CBD is harvested from the whole hemp plant, the extraction typically contains terpenes, cannabinoids, and other essential oils that, together, generate the entourage effect.

The entourage effect means that cannabis compounds, including CBD and other cannabinoids, have a greater impact when working together than individually.

The terpenoids assist the cannabinoids with their peak effects, and other cannabinoids like cannabinol (CBN) and cannabigerol (CBG) help boost the effects of CBD.

With the entourage effect, the CBD formula in hemp-based oils works better as a whole than each ingredient would alone. And you can only gain benefits from the entourage effect from broad spectrum or full spectrum CBD oils - not from hemp seed oil.

We mentioned earlier that CBD stimulates the CB2 cannabinoid receptors in the endocannabinoid system to help sustain homeostasis. CBD offers various effects depending on how people, especially older adults, use it.

For instance, consumer reports and studies imply CBD is useful for stress. In fact, CBD for stressis the number one reason most people begin using it. And researchers have explored CBD's potential to lower stress responses by affecting the blood vessels and blood pressure.

Another reason for the rising interest in CBD oil and its benefits is how it affects sleep. But if you're questioning, 'does CBD make you tired,' it isn't the CBD by itself that causes sleepiness.

CBD sleep aidstypically combine CBD with a natural sleep hormone called melatonin - along with a blend of other sleep-inducing ingredients. Individually, CBD helps create a sense of calm and relaxation without making you feel groggy. It's the melatonin and other elements that allow you to drift asleep naturally.

Similar to hemp seed oil, CBD oil can also be a useful topical but for a different reason. While hemp oil from crushed cannabis seeds helps maintain unclogged pores and relieve dryness and itch, CBD oil works with CB2 receptors located in the skin to help alleviate minor discomfort and aches.

Although topical CBD has a different purpose than hemp seed oil, there is favorable research exploring CBD as a skincare option. And more beauty products such as face creams and moisturizing lotions containing CBD are starting to emerge.

CBD oil's characteristics make it far from identical to hemp seed oil:

The straightforward answer is no. It doesn't matter how many brands are intentionally or mistakenly mixing up the terms 'CBD oil' and 'hemp oil' to sell cannabis-infused products; these two substances are not identical.

But then why would sellers market the terms as the same?

The main reason would be that CBD oil and hemp seed oil come from the same cannabis family, and for some manufacturers and users, that's all they care to know. And without a decent grasp of the differences between the two, products are often labeled the same.

Another reason is that companies know how much more money consumers are willing to pay for CBD oil. Because of its sophisticated extraction process, CBD costs much more to extract than hemp seed oil.

It isn't too hard for a company to spend less to extract hemp seed oil, put it in a product, and brand it so that consumers believe they're buying a CBD-infused item when there's no CBD in it at all.

Conversely, some brands may market their CBD products as hemp oil to circumvent federal regulations. Many of these rules sharply limit how companies can advertise CBD oil.

The best way to determine what you're buying is to check the ingredients list. CBD oils typically list their main ingredient as cannabidiol, broad spectrum hemp, full spectrum hemp, or hemp extracts. And hemp seed oil usually says it contains Cannabis sativaseed oil.

Although both come from Cannabis sativaplants, we've covered many differences between the two:

Hemp Oil (Hemp Seed Oil)

CBD Oil

Low cannabinoid profile

Uses a carrier oil

Offers mostly nutritional benefits

Generates the entourage effect

Extracted from crushed hemp seeds

Extracted from whole cannabis plant

Used mainly for cooking and skincare

Contains cannabinoids and terpenes

An abundance of fatty acids and protein

Works with the endocannabinoid system

Offers several benefits (sleep, stress, discomfort, etc.)

And they also have their similarities: they're non-intoxicating, can be used topically or internally, offer wholesome benefits, and are oils. That's hemp oil vs. cbd oil in a nutshell.

However, you may still have a few more questions when asking, 'Is hemp oil the same as CBD oil?' So, take a look at some of the most common questions we've answered when discussing the difference between CBD oil and hemp oil.

There are several beneficial applications for hemp oil because of all the nutrients it contains, including

Dermatologists have noted that hemp oil can help improve the skin because of its fatty acids. Furthermore, hemp oil helps strengthen skin, making it more resistant to infection and other skin conditions.

Typically, omega-3 fatty acids are made into supplements to help lower blood pressure, making hemp oil a natural alternative for hypertension because of its abundance of omega-3s. Hemp oil also contains high levels of linoleic acid, which research indicates can substantially reduce low-density cholesterol, better known as bad cholesterol, and total cholesterol.

Yes, there have been no reports of any adverse effects from people using hemp oil and CBD oil together. Many CBD products are designed to be used with other CBD and supplemental products to offer a complete wellness routine depending on your preferences and needs.

Hemp oil does not have any CBD content. The main difference between hemp oil and CBD oil is that hemp oil is created from hemp seeds, which usually don't naturally contain CBD or other cannabinoids. On the other hand, CBD oil utilizes CBD and other cannabinoid compounds through various extraction processes.

Hemp oil is usually taken orally, but it can be helpful as a topical to promote healthier skin, hair, and nails. People have also used hemp oil for culinary purposes, incorporating it in bread, yogurt, and cookies because of its nutritional value.

Hemp oil is useful for many applications. For instance, you may choose to use hemp oil for food preparation because of its highly nutritious profile. Others may use hemp oil more directly, such as orally or topically, if they're searching for natural alternatives for skin improvement, better heart health, and lower blood pressure.

There has been no direct link between hemp oil and weight gain or loss, even though hemp is a natural appetite suppressant. However, CBD oil is often helpful for either a pre-or post-workout option to help with recovery or temporary discomfort.

Hemp oil doesn't contain any active ingredients that make people sleepy or affect their natural sleep cycle. But, if you're choosing between hemp oil and CBD oil, various CBD sleep aids contain melatonin and promote better sleep habits.

We hope this blog helped answer the burning question of, 'Is hemp oil the same as CBD oil?' Have you had any experience with hemp seed oil? What are some of your key uses for either CBD oil or hemp seed oil? Have you been confused into buying one, thinking it was the other?

CBD products being recalled in Ireland because they contain too much THC – TheJournal.ie

Posted: at 1:21 pm

SEVERAL CBD PRODUCTS in Ireland are being recalled because they contain too much THC the active ingredient in cannabis which makes users experience highs.

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) said the affected products range from food supplements to bottles of CBD oil which customers take by placing drops under their tongue.

Brand names of the recalled products are CannabiGold, Canapol and The Healing Stone, Phyto+ and The Herbal Stone.

The FSAI found that unsafe Levels of delta9tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) were detected in certain batches of CBD and they were being immediately recalled.

The cannabis plant contains a range of cannabinoids some of which are psychoactive. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is psychoactive and is considered a narcotic.

In Ireland, THC is controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Acts 1977.

The European Court of Justice ruled last year that low levels of THC do not have any negative impact on health.

It said CBD products which contain THC of under 0.2% should not be treated as narcotics. However, in Ireland if CBD products contain THC in any quantities, they are considered controlled drugs.

#Open journalism No news is bad news Support The Journal

Your contributions will help us continue to deliver the stories that are important to you

A spokesperson for the FSAI said: Distributors are requested to withdraw the product from the market. Retailers are requested to remove the products from sale. Food businesses that have sold the implicated batches of the implicated CBD products to consumers must display a point-of-sale notice in store and on websites if sold online, to inform consumers that the implicated batches of these CBD products are being recalled and the reason why.

A full list of the recalled products can be found here.

Medical Cannabis Market Size to Reach 47.15 Billion in 2027 | Increasing Use of Medical Marijuana to Alleviate Symptoms, Treat Diseases and Conditions…

Posted: at 1:21 pm

VANCOUVER, BC, July 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The global medical cannabis market size is expected to reach USD 47.15 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 16.9%, according to the latest report by Emergen Research. Market revenue growth can be attributed to the increasing use of medical cannabis to treat diseases and conditions, rising research and development activities, and legalization of cannabis in various countries across the globe. Increasing government initiatives to encourage safe usage and consumption of the product is also a key factor expected to contribute to market growth over the forecast period.

Medical cannabis is cannabis and cannabinoids that are prescribed by doctors and physicians for relieving symptoms or treating diseases. Preliminary studies suggest cannabis can reduce nausea and vomiting that are primary side effects of chemotherapy, improve appetite in people suffering from HIV/AIDS, and alleviate chronic pain and muscle spasms. Medical cannabis can be administered through capsules, tinctures, dermal patches, and cannabis edibles, among others. Increasing incidence of severe and chronic diseases such as cancer, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and ALS, among others have boosted the use of medical cannabis and this has led to the development of new products. In addition, cannabinoids have been increasingly recommended for treatment of anorexia, arthritis, migraines, and glaucoma when other treatment regimens are ineffective. This is expected to further boost revenue growth of the market over the forecast period.

Increasing research and development activities to study the medical applications of cannabis and availability of synthetic cannabinoids as prescription medicine are some other key factors expected to contribute to revenue growth of the market going ahead. However, lack of data on long-term safety of medical cannabis, chronic side effects such as fatigue, dizziness, and hallucinations, among others, and implementation of stringent regulatory policies regarding cultivation and commercialization of cannabis are some key factors expected to restrain market growth going ahead.

Posted: at 1:21 pm

We take a look at CBD topicals and go over their benefits and uses. We also look at the most common types of topicals available including creams, lotions, balms, patches, and oil, and how to use them.

The advances in the medical, as well as recreational cannabis markets, have led to the launch of many different products in the market. The effects of CBD on people have been studied and found to be very beneficial in some aspects. Due to the combination of the markets growth and the positive effects, many new types of CBD products have been launched. Some of these are known as topicals, which are products that you dont have to ingest but rather apply to the skin in some way to get the desired effects.

Before talking about why anyone should use CBD topicals, lets quickly take a look at what they are. A CBD topical is essentially a product that can be applied to the skin. Like a cream or a lotion, that is infused with cannabidiol. Whether these are cannabis patches or a lotion of some sort, topicals can be very helpful in some situations. A lot of the time, these topicals are used because of their anti-inflammatory properties and other health-related benefits for the skin.

There has been a lot of research done on the use of such products. It has been suggested that CBD does have some anti-inflammatory characteristics. This allows CBD topicals to alleviate certain skin issues and joint pain as well to an extent. There are other ways in which these products can help too which is why they are becoming so popular these days.

As mentioned before, there are different kinds of topicals available on the market today. Before using any cannabis product, it would be helpful to go through some dosage guidelines so you know exactly how to use cannabis in various forms. With that out of the way, lets go over some common topicals that you can get today:

Perhaps the most common kind of topical out there is a CBD cream. A lot of CBD skin creams use broad-spectrum cannabidiol. This type of cannabidiol does not have THC or have very trace amounts of it. It has been found through researches that such a cream can provide relief against some conditions such as:

Arthritis; as found in this research done on rats in 2016.

Peripheral Neuropathy; as found in this research done in 2020.

Jaw Pain; as found in this research done in 2019.

Apart from its benefits, cannabidiol cream is one of the easiest products in this category to use. All you need to do is apply it directly to the affected area like a normal cream and it can provide some relief quickly. Sometimes, such a product can also aid users to get some sleep.

This is another kind of product that is great for those seeking to get the benefits of cannabidiol without smoking anything. Cannabis patches can be applied to the affected part of the body and the effects can be experienced in 515 minutes. These patches are great for providing quick pain relief and also come with the anti-inflammatory properties of cannabidiol.

This is a very good method of delivering cannabidiol to the body for beginners as theres nothing much to do. Theyre also not very expensive. And their effects are easy to control as you can just take them off if you feel overwhelmed in any way.

Just like cream, CBD lotion can be applied directly to the skin. There are many varieties available for people looking to get the benefits of cannabidiol along with those of using a healthy skin lotion at the same time. The lotions are great for making the skin healthier and restoring damaged skin.

Think of a lotion infused with cannabidiol as your regular, hydrating lotion but with added benefits like reducing inflammation, soothing the skin, fighting dryness, and reducing dark spots and wrinkles.

Balms are another great option for people looking for pain relief and anti-inflammatory effects. These can be applied to any part of the body where you feel pain and distress. Like creams, balms offer fairly quick relief and dont require more than just rubbing them into the skin.

There are many other forms of cannabidiol topicals, two of which are oil and butter. There are different types of oil and butter but as far as topicals go. Both of these products are made for use directly on the skin. For example, there are face oils that can be dabbed around the eyes to reduce wrinkles or on the face for other benefits. There are also products like lip butter that can be applied to the lips for hydration and smoothness.

Whether you are looking for a topical for pain relief or recreational purposes, theres a lot to choose from. This myriad of products is perfect for those people who are new to cannabis and dont want to smoke it but still wish to benefit from its effects.

All you need to do is apply such a product directly to the skin and wait for a little while. They are easier to control in terms of their dosage and dont provide effects as strong as smoking marijuana provides. Making them more accessible for all kinds of users.

State reps gain industry perspective at Bar-Way Farm hemp tour – GazetteNET

Posted: at 1:21 pm

DEERFIELD A group of state representatives representing the Joint Committee on Cannabis Policy toured Bar-Way Farms hemp field last Friday afternoon for an on-the-ground perspective of the industry.

The tour was the final stop on the committees trip around the Pioneer Valleys hemp and cannabis industries. The group also made stops in Holyoke and at the New England Treatment Access (NETA) dispensary in Northampton.

Peter Melnik, Bar-Way Farms owner, gave the legislators a hay-wagon tour around his property, where he thanked the legislators for coming out but also highlighted some of the challenges of working within Massachusetts regulations on his 30-acre hemp field.

The rules and regulations, for a layman like me, they make no sense, Melnik said. We as a country have to get over the fact that hemp is not marijuana.

While on the wagon ride, Melnik talked about the stringent testing and harvesting policies the state has in place. Each sample taken by the state must have 0.3% or less THC in it; otherwise, it cannot be sold. If a field has three hot tests in a row, the field must be destroyed. The field also must be harvested within 15 days of the test; otherwise, it must be destroyed. He said the state supervises the destruction and it is a waste of a usable resource, but they have to play by the rules.

Massachusetts sort of stumbles in harvesting, Melnik said. We really just put our head down and gamble.

He added that the state is toeing the federal line when it comes to regulation marijuana is still illegal federally and he said he gets the feeling the state makes it difficult to grow hemp, despite its differences from marijuana.

I feel like the state is trying to make me a criminal, Melnik said. Im just a farmer trying to grow a crop.

Beyond the difficulties of state regulations, Melnik said the rich soil of Franklin County is a great place to grow hemp and the plant has a lot of potential to become one of the nations leading exports along with staples like corn.

Massachusetts is going to be a place, the Pioneer Valley is going to be a place where hemp is grown, Melnik said. I applaud the Legislature and governor for believing hemp can be grown in Massachusetts.

Bar-Way Farm sends all of its hemp harvests to Heritage CBD in Northampton. Melnik said the company does a lot of its business outside of Massachusetts because of regulations and it is sitting on hundreds of thousands of gallons of hemp oil.

Melnik started growing hemp in 2019 and saw it as another opportunity to keep the farm growing, which was in line with how his great-grandfather grew onions, his grandfather grew tobacco and how his dad is a cow guy.

This farm has done lots of different things, Melnik said. This is not Iowa, so we have to maximize what we have.

State Rep. Daniel Donahue, D-Worcester, who is the House chairman of the Joint Committee on Cannabis Policy, said it was his first time touring a hemp farm and he is looking forward to all the successes of the industry.

Donahue added that the tour was a chance to see how actual farmers were affected by legislation and gave some ideas on how to help them navigate the regulations.

Donahue said the tour will help draft up more regulations and make it a more successful part of our agriculture.

State Rep. Natalie Blais, D-Sunderland, said the stop at Bar-Way Farm was not originally a part of the committees itinerary, but she organized it because she felt the representatives needed to see it to best understand the industry.

This is the place you have to go. Its the most innovative hemp farm, Blais said. I made a promise to bring Boston to western Mass. and its so important for them to see this work.
