God knows, we here at The Soup Blog have been plagued for years with insecurities about our looks (let’s just say we have a face made for blogging), but though we’ve run the gamut of alleged solutions—from Victoria Principal’s revolutionary three-step cleansing, firming, anti-aging method to John Oates-style facial hair to avoiding any reflective surface—we’ve never tried dropping LSD. That’s Selma Blair’s answer to her looks issues, and you can count on the stars for researched, responsible drug recommendations.

“If I was in the right frame of mind, in a pleasant, creative, chilled-out space, with just the right amount delivered by an Amsterdam technician, that would be incredible,” says Blair.

Actually, Hellboy II helmer Guillermo del Toro gave her the tip. “You know what Guillermo thinks? That I should go to Amsterdam and take an acid trip and it would fix my head,” gushes the film’s star. “I think he could be right, you know.”

Other acid benefits include the ability to fly from tall buildings, to hear colors scream and the realization that an ottoman is really a demonic being that owns your brain. But what the hell, it worked for Cary Grant.
