The MBRC Project believes that everyone is beautiful, and everyone wins by participating.

MISS BLACK ROCK CITY TIARA MAKING WORKSHOP
Hosted By: Atelier Rusette in New Amsterdam Village Tuesday, 330pm - 530pm
If you are thinking of participating in the Preliminary Event on Wednesday, or if you just want a funky tiara/headpiece to match a special costume, stop by and let us show you how to make something wonderful from furry chenille stems. Like all our events, all men and women are welcome – this time even kids are invited! You’ll be amazed at what you can create. StacycatS, host of the Miss Black Rock City 2006 events will also be on hand to answer any questions, come say hello!
MISS BLACK ROCK CITY PRELIMINARY EVENT
Hosted By: Alien Underground in New Amsterdam Village Wednesday, 5pm-6pm
Represent your camp, your village, your region, your tent, or just yourself! Men and women of any (or no) sexual preference and/or identity are invited to participate. The only thing needed to enter is a title starting with "Miss" (must be Miss, even if you are a Ms., Mrs. or a Mr.) and a sash that states this title! Participants will complete 3 "burner type" tasks, so we can see how you groove. Finalists will be chosen to move on to the main event Thursday. Remember: No pageant is fair, bribing is the new gifting!
MISS BLACK ROCK CITY MAIN EVENT
Hosted By: Disorient Thursday, 5pm-6pm
Finalists from the Preliminary Event on Wednesday (open to all men + women) will reveal their unique inner beauty in these three categories: *Future Wear: The hope + fear for the future of fashion. *2 Minute Talent Competition: No rules, everyone has a talent be it a stupid party trick or a fine art! *Interview: Do they do it for world peace, the children, or for the puppies? All finalists are beautiful and everyone wins by participating. Fabulous gifts include custom handmade tiaras and an aerial tour of the playa with pilot Adam Meyerson. Hosted by Stacycats
