323--Nevada: Burning Man 2005, Prepare to Burn @ CherieSpotting     Sep 21 2005 - 09:52 PST cherie writes: Planning for Burning Man is an essential part of the journey. Like life, much of the joy of Burning Man lies in the anticipation and remembrance of the event. You only live Burning Man for a week, but you anticipate it all year long and remember it forever. Our Camp brings a U-haul full of carpet, couches, chairs and bikes out to the Black Rock Desert. We stuff that U-haul full of crates of priceless clothing (that you wouldn’t pay more than a dollar for.) And you can’t help but smile at the labels on the bins of funky mismatched clothes. Contents of one Burning Man clothing bin: Lizard hat, prom dress, fishnet stockings, flamingo earrings, cookie-monster skirt, purple leather pants, red vinyl dress, thigh-high boots, zebra-skirt, pink hair, etc. Click on each picture to see it full size. read comments (1) | write comment| views: 17063    | rated: 0.0    printer-friendly version   You need a U-Haul to carry all those crates of crazy costumes up to the Black Rock Desert for Burning Man. *Photo by Rennie Waxlax. The perfect Burning Man boots! You have to practice all year to be able to ride a bike in platform boots. *Photo by Rennie Waxlax. I'm ready for the Burn. *Photo by Rennie Waxlax. Keep those feet out of the fire! *Photo by Rennie Waxlax. All packed up and ready to head to the desert. *Photo by Rennie Waxlax. Now that we've arrived in the desert, we are ready to burn. Fashionable desert wear. The perfect playa-shoe has a chunky heel. Tall hair is in. Burning Man may only last a week, but the memories last a lifetime. Goddess Anne with a red-bull and vodka. Look at her eyes please! Reading together. What if a clan like this crashed your wedding? Ladies having a chat. Next year's fashions start here. Who says candy doesn't make you feel better? One-size does not fit all. Lost or found, you decide. Emerging officer. The healthy eaters. Super Crab goes after the lady in red. It's all about the cape. You should have seen the wind-storm that Super Crab saved this guy from! Look what we found on our way to church. She likes having her nipples sucked in the morning. I'm seeing orange dots everywhere! Stop clowning around and give him a kiss! The morning mohawk. Introducing Karem as "Eve". Here comes Lisa as "the serpent." What? You've never seen a naked girl with a monster before? Very affectionate police officers. Faries come in all sizes. Flasher! Lisa is ready to predict the future. Rennie and Anne. Wilson! Karem all casted up and nowhere to go. Playa wear. Mark and Jean. Don't you hate it when there is traffic in the middle of nowhere? Girls will be girls. Who says we have to grow up? Bier, bitter. The cuddly hitch-hikers. Sometimes it is best to avoid looking in the mirror. Karem is pretty in pink. A "burning romance" leads to "I do." Lisa and Brian enjoy a vinegar and water foot-bath. (It's the solution doctors recommend.) Cherie and Jean. Cherie and Margaret. Cherie and Karem. Take your medicine, just like the nurse tells you to. Ever had apple-martini in your IV? OK, you win. Camp Cookie Monster 2005! The Stars of Camp Cookie Monster are: Cherie. Greg. Rennie. Anne. Randy. Kari. Jean. Mark. Margaret. Brian. Lisa. Karem. Molly & Vicky. Molly & Vicky again!
