Hey hey, it’s Ellie from St Petersburg Fl! Now that I have watched every video, read every piece of info I can retain I thought I’d jump right in and start meeting the very community that I will be spending time with and see what I should expect! So I have a ton of my outfits ready my Hunky bought a pop-up and gutted it to make it desert ready just a few more big details and we will be ready to hit the road for a long freakin ride to the greatest spectical on earth! I have a huge thrift store and supply people with super rad clothes every year for the burn and can throw together some cool shit in a pinch so I thought I check out what all the rage is about and holy shit, I’ve been missing out! So here I am, ready, stoked and In full force! Hope to meet everyone in the community all like 70,000 of ya!

Hey there, welcome to ePlaya!

Welcome Aboard.

Ah, the videos. So sparkly. I have a love-hate relationship with them. Be sure to watch the dust storm ones as well.

A ton of outfits is fun. Look through the Clothing and PLayawear forum for all sorts of ideas and tips. Do you have both warm and cool weather things? Casual, light and simple for camp lounging? Sturdy footwear for exploring and slip-ons for camp? All outfits are non-MOOPy? Anything from "freezing your ass off" to "your blood is about to evaporate" wear?!

Hi, Welcome to eplaya. You will wear a third of the clothes you bring. If it's cold at night, your coat is your costume so dress it up and light it up. It was 110 some days last year so we all sat around in the shade in our undies. I love costumes but lately I'm leaning towards color days. All orange, all yellow. It looks great and makes getting dressed so easy. Welcome

Thanks for the welcome so how do I find out about maybe a schedule? I saw that there were pink parades and bunny parades and naked parade so I want to be prepared for that! However I guess I don’t hafto do much for the naked one but still wanna be blazin something rad!

[AntiM]

You'll find individual events posted here and there, there will be an online calendar a little later, and you will get a WhereWhatWhen guide at Greeter's, just past the Gate. What's in the assorted schedules may or may not happen as expected.

Keep an eye on the Art and Performance forum, events tend to be posted there as the even approaches. Still very early in the year. The Billion Bunny March tends to be the same day and time each year, but I really don't know that myself.

Welcome to ePlaya!

There are several costume camps, like Black Rock Boutique (Portland), Kostume Kult (NYC) and I'm sure more, may be open to private messages about what has worked and not worked in their experience. We had a costume depot one year in our 125-150 size camp, including footwear, jewelry, accessories, makeup and mirrors. Somehow it got a fancy pair of N*w R*ck boots which were a hit for everyone who wore them. A sewing machine and sewing supplies are useful for repairs. The costume camps accept donations outbound.

Have you met other burners in your area? https://regionals.burningman.org/. The people involved are usually fun, have great parties, and create excuses for costuming, which according to the powers that be are now supposed to be called "Burning Man outfits."

Nice, I have some great things to bring and share! I will look for those camps and see where I can be of assistance! Thank you for the 411! Have a BEAUTIFUL day!
