One Night Only! For just one night we can be transported back to the Playa as a default world collective. What’s more, we can bust a new outfit or two that either came into being post-playa or that we loved
too much to get dusty (there I said it).
Yeah, we all know the deal. But here’s an interesting notion that occurred to me during this year’s decom: It’s one thing to trip on the fact that 50,000 or so brilliant souls from all over the world can create such beautiful playa fashions but another thing entirely to party exclusively and be blown away by the creativity of your own small community.
Reno/Tahoe/Sparks has a higher ratio of burners to civilians than any other community in the world. And expecially during decom this really shows! These are the people who make your community what it is, radically expressing themselves. As usual, clothing is a tremendous aspect that expression.
One of the things that was great about this 
year’s decom was the daytime venue at the Celtic Forest. There were some well dressed stilters and a portrait studio where non-burners could play dress up!
What this event signifies to me is the beauty of radically creative community. The brilliance that occurs when we gather with the intention of passionately sharing in what makes us human. It’s the same synergy that we are attempting to manifest with DustyCouture. Join us in this endeavor by clicking on the Subscribe links to the right.
