Casey Veggies and PSY bring “Sauna” to rapstream, faux pas and all.

December 14, 2012 By Glenn 3 Comments

Remember looking at a cereal box cartoon with the instructions: “find five things wrong in this photo.”?

Most of Casey Veggies sauna faux pas are as obvious as the entire rap culture.  If this isn’t enough, ‘Gangnam Style’ is now the most watched Youtube video of all time. And if you’re one of the billion viewers, you’ll catch Korean rapper(?) Psy in the sauna, too, minus the blunt and popcorn.:

Actor Colin Farrell puts Infrared in its place with Ellen DeGeneres

October 14, 2012 By Glenn Leave a Comment

Actor Colin Farrell was on the Ellen show the other day.  He explains why he prefers the authentic sauna experience, a more penetrating heat where one can toss water on sauna rocks.  Ellen DeGeneres is hot on the infrared light bulb closet.

Both Farrell and DeGeneres agree that sweating is good for you, ridding toxins.  Colin Ferrell refers to the “primal” experience of an authentic sauna.  Farrell, Prince Andrew, Johnny Depp, Gwyneth Paltrow, the list goes on, and it’s funny because after someone famous acknowledges AUTHENTIC sauna, folks then begin to become aware of the difference.

Like yoga or Greek Yogurt, folks have been tuned into sauna well before someone with a pretty face said it’s a good thing.  And like yoga or Greek Yogurt, folks engage in sauna because it resonates and works for them.  So, hat’s off to Colin Farrell.   He’s probably a great guy.  And if famous people endorsing authentic sauna is a building block towards the growth and awareness of the authentic sauna experience, well, that’s a good thing.

Johnny Depp finds inspiration and creativity in his own sauna – a kindred spirit to us at Saunatimes.

May 9, 2011 By Glenn Leave a Comment

A lot of famous people dig the authentic sauna experience.  It begs the chicken and egg question of which came first, creative success or appreciation of sauna.  Either way, we’ve talked about how the authentic sauna experience is good for one’s head, writing in the sauna, reading in the sauna, etc.  The solitude of sauna helps foster creativity.  Here’s an excerpt from Johnny Depp’s interview in yesterday’s edition of Britain’s Daily Mirror:

Johnny (Depp’s) eccentric and flamboyant Captain Jack is much loved by fans and critics alike. Yet that wild performance, like those of Willy Wonka and the Mad Hatter, was born in the quiet of a sauna.

“I couldn’t come up with the things I need to come up with in a crowd or hanging out with a bunch of people,” he explains.

“Solitude allows you moments of creativity and some of my characters were actually born under extreme circumstances in the heat of the sauna.

“I was by myself in the sauna, 200 degrees, sweating and cooking myself and that’s where Captain Jack and Willy Wonka were born. Weird, but that’s a good kind of solitude.”

We totally agree, Mr. Depp, sauna is a good kind of solitude.
