Utah Pastafarian wore colander on head for license photo

St. George, UT — A Utah woman said she is the fourth person in the country who was allowed to wear a colander in her driver’s license photo in expression of her religious beliefs.

“Woohoo! My new driver’s license is here! I’m officially the first Pastafarian in Utah!! And the 4th one in the US – 2 in CA, 1 in OK, and me in UT. *happy dance*,” Asia Carrera-Lemmon said in a Facebook post.

Carrera-Lemmon identifies herself as an atheist and a member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Members of the church sometimes call themselves Pastafarians.

Carrera-Lemmon, whose legal name “Jessica Steinhauser” appears on her driver’s license, lists Vivid Video, an adult film company, as an employer. Her IMDB.com profile lists appearances in 277 productions, including an uncredited appearance in the 1997 cult film “The Big Lebowski.”
