Burning Man 2010 Virtual Fashion Show Episode 2

Welcome to the second installment of the DustyCouture.Com Virtual Fashion Show!  We hope you enjoyed the Reno “Rough Edit” and are pleased to deliver more playalicious fun now.

This video finishes with some great hooping footage from Spin Cycle’s annual all-star hoop jam.  We love the costumes that hoopers wear and it’s amazing that they still allow for the hoop to maneuver all over their body.

We shot enough footage on playa this year for a total of four of these Vfash videos: the first one mentioned above, this one, a “Friends of Friends” edition, and a personal favorites reel which will feature a commentary track by Dusty Bacon.  There’s also some handcar regatta vids from last weekend coming your way so stay tuned for lots more!

2010 Burning Man Double Rainbow

We’ve finally made it back from another EXTREME year on the Playa.  As most of you know the weather was everywhere from wet & cold as fcuk to hot like blazes.

We got some good footage for you though and will be rolling out the catwalk on our virtual fashion show project (we had burners in their awesome outfits walking the runway wherever we found them.)  Til then, hope you enjoy our little vid of the double rainbow that followed Monday’s rainstorm.  It’s one of many that are being uploaded as we speak but unlike the others this one is sarcasm free ;}

Reno’s Burner HQ: Melting Pot World Emporium Pt 1

As we get closer to the big week in the desert, it’s important to take stock of what resources we have at our disposal on our way out to the Playa. As the Jack Rabbit Speaks (JRS) mentioned yesterday: The Melting Pot World Emporium is one of the best resources available to burners passing through Reno.   As the video shows, their fashions are fantastic and they also stock most all the fun stuff you can buy & bring to BRC.

Today’s video is a brief prelude to a series of video blogs about this fascinating burner owned business that will be posted here over the next couple weeks. If you visit them, don’t forget to mention “DustyCouture.Com” for 10% off your purchase.

Check back soon for videos showing the rest of the 3rd Annual Reno Midtown Burner Fashion Show.
*Note: Take advantage of the full screen options and higher resolution (only available once video starts)!

Our Time Is Now

Have you ever been amazed by a costume on the playa?  Or felt a complete sense of empowerment from a costume you created and all the delicious opportunities that came to surround it?Now A

Costuming is, for many of us, the very fun and experimental heart of “self”-development.  Whether it’s your first time cross-dressing or the creation of an entirely new character complete with idiosyncrasies you’ve never even heard of before, to the vitally empowering practice of creating through the manipulation of materials, the outsides we fashion and adorn ourselves with become a part of our story.

From now on you will see that story, our story, spinning, mutating, and radically evolving here.  Click the Subscribe links to the right, return often, stay dusty.

Sincerely,
