Misting Vagina and Penis Slide: Celeb Invasion Continues

rosario costume_1Burning Man has become THE place for celebs to show their cool factor. Last year we had first time visits from P.Diddy, Susan Sarandon, and General Wesley Clark…amongst others.

Actress Rosario Dawson is in a different league, though: she has been to the burn 9 times, and created several art projects for it. The star of “Sin City” built her own major art installation for the 2011 theme “Rites of Passage”: a 30 foot long installation with a penis slide into a misting vagina tent. As you do! Visitors strolled through this misting vagina tunnel, but anyone who missed the g-spot had to make a second trip through. Once you found and pressed it, “a doorbell would ring and lights would flash.”

She has taken to the talk show circuit to display her hipness profess her love for Burning Man, bringing the heart-warming story to Jimmy Kimmel, Chelsea Handler, and now Conan O’Brien.

We look forward to seeing more of Rosario’s art at future burns, as well as in the upcoming Sin City 2 – due for release right before the burn, on August 22, 2014.

SnapChat CEO’s “perpetually topless” GF is a Burner

This story has been doing the rounds of the Interwebz today, after Gawker ran yet another hit piece on LA-based SnapChat CEO (and Ivy League fratboy) Evan Spiegel, whose girlfriend has photos of her running round half naked at Burning Man. Scandalous, right? It seems a few think so, among them ValleyWag, and newly self-anointed Burning Man paper of record, Business Insider.

Girlfriend Lucy Aragon is a 24-year old model and about to become a new Reality TV star, on the Bachelor. She has Burning Man front and center in her Twitter description:

Before you follow me, be advised I have no idea where I’m going. I love Christmas, Steve Jobs, FC Barça and Burning Man.

snapchat gf 2snapchat gf3Do we have yet another billionaire Burner? More grilled cheese sandwiches and french toast to come? There is no evidence (yet) that Mr Spiegel accompanied his girlfriend to Burning Man this year, or is a Burner. But he sure sounds like a partier,  and according to one email he sent, he and his friends are “certified bros – our frat just got kicked off [Stanford’s] campus”. Brogrammers, that is.

His tweets are mysteriously quiet between August 24 and September 7, when he re-emerges to post this mysterious image…

He just cashed out $10 million personally on an $800m post-money valuation Series B round, bought a Ferrari and told Facebook to go stick a $3 billion cash offer up their datehole, then followed that up by telling Larry and Sergei to go stick their $4 billion up a similar orifice…so why shouldn’t he go?

Maybe this is a sign that he did…

If you ask me, we need MORE topless models at Burning Man. Many more!

snapchat-evan-spiegel.9251213.40One Burner thinks that cooking, Snapchat, and Burning Man have one key thing in common: temporary art.

LA weekly has quite a lengthy story on Snapchat’s rise from Frat Boy Darling to Tech World Darling.

CNet has more details of his career and upbringing.

Yahoo Shine admires his fashion style – not just a hoodie but a cool one.

We’ll leave with a little titbit from The Onion.

Just Clowning Around

Last year some wacky clown had the great idea to bring 55,000 MOOPs Clown Noses to Burning Man.

The noises of this are fucken trippy, it’s cool. I’m clearly getting old because I thought it all only happened once, with these noses. After 10 Burning Mans, they seem to blend together and get fuzzy around the edges. Or was that just me.

Apparently we’re 2 Burning Mans into it. Will it be back for a red nose hatrick this year?

Here’s it in 2011:

Here’s it in 2012:

 

No word on what DPW thought of the whole thing in the aftermath of Burning Man, but tonight’s episode of the hilarious Inside Amy Schumer made me think of that story. And also one of my own from ny untamed youth in the Old Country involving a battery-assisted waterpistol, traffic lights, and a VW full of clowns with open windows…another story for a different blog, I’m afraid. Enjoy @amyschumer, funniest gal on TV right now…wonder if she’s a Burner.
