The Burn2 Fashionistas and "Larry"

 

I would like to recommend one meeting that I hope to attend. Vickie Maidstone is having a workshop to introduce her marvelous group , The Fashionistas. This group strut their stuff at the Burn2 events with an air of fun and fashion. She is looking for members to add to the models who appear now. Read about the Fashionistas here  -  https://www.burn2.org/spotlight-the-burn2-fashionistas/
 

Vickie says   "What does it take to be a fashion model? How does a fashion model train? Schooling and rewards Have you ever wondered what goes on when a fashion model gets ready for a show? And the process to becoming a model? See you at our stage on playa."

I had a few words with one Burner, iSkye Silverweb, about his passing.

"Welcome Home"

We are so excited! Planning for the Big Burn we've all been waiting for is now getting well underway. As is often our custom, we follow the theme that Burning Man announces, and this year it is "Da Vinci's Workshop."  You can read the full description of the theme as written by Larry Harvey and Stuart Mangrum at Burning Man's Website.

We had a poster contest and the posters were all so good that four winners were selected rather than just one, shown below. We will use all four posters for distributing the news inworld and online.
