It was not Susan Sarandon's night at The Box, where throngs of partygoers stayed from late Thursday into the early morning to help the Lower East Side burlesque club ring in its third anniversary.
Sarandon, who recently separated from Tim Robbins, got an unpleasant party favor when transsexual performer Rose Wood vomited on stage directly onto the Oscar winner.
A witness reports, "She actually handled it very well. She was laughing while a bunch of guys came over to towel her off."

It’s a pretty disgusting story. I can imagine that a relatively new member of FR might react strongly to it.
The jokes damn near write themselves.
Hit it?
Yes, I can see that. My response though, was more one of revulsion toward this 63 year old woman who thought it was appropriate to spend an evening at a place called “The Box” and watch a transsexual performer, who then vomited on her. Who knows what diseases she was exposed to? It’s truly disgusting from start to finish.
The truly bizarre thing is that it’s clear that she didn’t take it seriously, either. If I recall correctly, she laughed.
Disgusting, yes. But funny...
That you think it’s funny is fine with me. Clearly, I don’t, but life is short. Maybe next month I’ll feel differently.
I came back to it only because some people continue responding to stuff said early on the thread. I would appreciate it if you ask them to quit as well. I'm sure all of us have more important things to be doing.
Thanks for the support. But I didn't react strongly to the vomit bath Sarandon took (why would I), but rather to Laz's comments/joke about wanting to ____ traitors Jane Fonda and Code Pinko Jodie Evans. I thought at the time he was serious. Strange things certainly do happen here from time to time. Thanks again for having the courage to stand out from the herd! :)
Even though you may feel justified in responding the best thing to do in these circumstances, IMO, is just ignore them and don’t respond anymore. Walk away. :0)
I hear you. :)
On a serious note, I hope I am not alone in sometimes being dismayed at the “I’d hit it crowd”, but I’ll leave it at that. :)
But if you leave these things unanswered they’ll hang around forever in some folks’ minds. Have to clarify.
With all due repect, you cannot control what is in other peoples' minds even if you do respond.
But do what you think you want to do. Your freedom of expression here on FR is exactly equal to mine or anyone elses.
I’m 100% positive you’re not alone, except in that you have the unusual courage to speak your mind about it. Sorry if the things I wrote offended you or anyone else, assuming of course that there were other normal people listening in on this thread! —a joke! ...kind of :)
I can’t tell you how relieved I was to see your posts on this thread. :)
