Her question wasn't "who can I borrow from", but "what should I wear". I answered the question that was asked.

Seriously? You posted a link to a commercial deal in a thread run by an arrogant Moderator? You must be wearing your "kick-me" shirt today. Link removed, make sure you're wearing fairy wings, really tacky fake-fur booties, & a blue bob wig to the Meet 'n Greet, and you best be hanging your head in shame when I meet you
You wrre the one to tell me to find an rv. Its late in the game now!

You may set sparkle-ponies in tutus on fire if you can surreptitiously get them into a Burn barrel, which shouldn't be hard. Please avoid setting fire to tutu-wearing ePlayans, unless the tutu is hitting you in the face. In that case, advance it to the next level.

As you yourself discovered, you are gullible, but the entire event is so absurd it's hard to tell what's real sometimes.

There are no "best" TV shows, they're TV shows. Turn the damn thing off and go outside. Bring a book if you want to be entertained and other people won't do it for you.

You do realize that that question was just there as a transparent figleaf over the fact I was posting a statement, and didn't need an answer from you, don't you?

Eric;

So, like, WTF is up with this thing called "Burning Man"? I've never seen so many damn queers, queens, dikes, lezzies, poly-quats, misfits, half-wits, nit-wits, zipper-heads, stoners, commie-pinko-symps and over-the-hill faux haute couture raver scum in my life! Is there a bag limit on hunting these people? Where do you recommend I camp so I can grope the hottest chicks, bed the coolest soccer mama's, and generally not have to deal with all these other gutter-freaks? And why do they hold this in the desert? This thing might actually catch-on if they held it at am amphitheater or someplace you could get food, beer and t-shirts. BTW, I got this invite to camp from some hottie in a group called the "Swish Embassy". Are they cool peeps? Keep it real, Bro!

Sincerely,
Skip "The Hunk" Jergins, 28, Rig Boss for Halliburton, Boise, Idaho.

No.
It's open to all quats, and you're free to dip hippies into it in a vain attempt to remove lingering algae from them.

I go to the back of the RV when we approach Greeters in an attempt to limit my contact with hippies, so this situation wouldn't occur.
