.....still crossing fingers tight for that extra wig to rock up on my door step....i know first world problems!
Finally after so many years of wishing and hoping i will finally be heading to burning man
with my chosen family of jokers and tricksters. I can not wait but alas i still feel like i have forgotten something...
Mmm tickets...Yes....Brain...some what Yes....Heart...Yes..beating like a drum.. Plus rocking spirit....YES!! YES! YES! I am ready world...take me!
I have been reading up for months on what to take and organising outfits, goggles, masks etc...even my nose has been all fixed up just to snort a 70 k sand storm...holy Guacamole!
If you don't know much about Burning Man festival...in short its the best party in the world!! But basically it is a celebration of life and creating the world you want to live in. It has massive amazing pieces of art to admire, play with and explore. It is a small city that is created by the 60,000 people that inhabit it in the Nevada desert and then after 7 days it is destroyed. There is no money system and no barter system either. You bring all you will need for seven days and we all share with one another....or gifting they call it which is giving without looking for something in return....
Wouldn't that be nice in the real world....no money! *sigh*
People come from everywhere to celebrate, create, get naked, explore, dance and just be with one another in extreme heat, full on weather and at night freezing cold temperatures.
Here is a shot of the camping ground it is set up as a clock and letters....it even has street signs such as destiny, hope, greed street
They burn the man (a giant figure that stands in the middle of the area) on the second last night, we dance and be merry.
On the last night is when they burn the temple of transition which is about reflecting on the time we have spent together, to remember past emotions, people and dreams....they burn it and send all the messages out into the ether.
The art is pretty amazing and can be quiet hugeorama....plus the art cars should be a hoot and a great way to get to places when we are too tired to ride our bikes.
So far this has been my collection of pieces i am taking
serious burning face...trust me i will be much happier when i am there....
There is many wigs and leggings to go with a lot of these outfits....
Lets see if it all fits in the bag!
On a serious note i am taking a collection of gifts from other lovely people to burning man to burn at the temple of transition. If anyone would like me to take something for you please do email me at outofyourbx@gmail.com or on fb.
Here is a really lovely video about the temple of transition

SAFE JOURNEYS TO EVERYONE...
See you on the other side of the rainbow....
Love Gina xxx
