The ultimate vacation!

As most people know, I love Burning Man. I met Dav at Burning Man and the whole world made sense. Today, we leave for Black Rock City. Although I was nervous trying to get work done and barely had time to feel excited, now I'm giddy with anticipation as we pack the huge truck to return to the magical playa. I will be unplugged so I will be totally immersed in Black Rock City life (wish I could moblog, but part of the attraction is being so detached from everyday society).

As promised when I posted about my giraffe outfit, here are pics of my other 2 outfits that I created with a friend. The secret fabulous designer is Maria de Fatima Callou , or as I know her, Eme.

The first rather bizarre gaudy costume is Fussy Mussy. Dav called me Fussy Mussy one day when I was fussing about how a plant was getting too much light. I'm sure he called that to poke at me, but something in my brain perked up and thought, "geez. I am fussy mussy! I shall own that name and prance around making a fuss out of everything! How fun!" And thus she was born. I can't explain accurately, but imagine a colorful but cranky 80 year old who does whatever she pleases because she can: wear weird colors, pretend she's a queen, be pushy, whatever. Now imagine here 50 years earlier. And there you go. I am sure to have fun playing my fussy mussy role : )

The next one is an outer space, fun, disco queen outfit. I do feel like I'm from the future when wearing that.

Anyhow, gotta go and help pack the truck.

I'll try and moblog, but won't give much text as we'll be busy!!

See you in 10 days!
