A former adult movie star, claiming membership in the satirical Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, was allowed to exercise her religious rights by having her Utah driver’s license photo taken wearing a colander on her head.

Asia Lemmon, also known as Jessica Steinhauser and previously known in the adult movie industry as Asia Carrera, became the fourth member of the church and the first in Utah to be allowed to wear the headgear in a license photo, reports The Spectrum.

According to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, the colander is the official headwear of the satirical religious movement that mocks traditional religions, with members calling themselves ‘Pastafarians.’

Lemmon, who says she is an atheist, said claiming membership in the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster was a decision she’s proud of.
