Burning Man Shopping List - a list by MeganInMunich

Options for This Page

About this list:

For my first year at Burning Man I wore jean cut-offs and tank tops and ended up under a shelter made of plastic garbage bags. Why suffer such a learning curve? Steal my ideas, gain from my experience. Countdown to burn time. Time to start shopping! (2009: still updating three years later!)

Qualifications:

Eleven years of expertise in partying in the desert

Stretch Go Go Boots in Retro Colors by Ellie Shoes

First to recommend

Description

Save the flip flops for walking around camp and for shower hour. All other times call for boots. They're made for walking. That's just what they'll do.

Large Chinese Sun Parasols

First to recommend

Description

At Burning Man, the sun combined with the alkaline desert dust will slowly sap your will to live without proper protection. Make sure you get to see all that art - or that demonstration on naked couples yoga - without turning into a lobster. You can do it all if you stand under an um-br-ella. A must have for long periods in the midday sun for both boys and girls.

Shady Brady Hat Company

First to recommend

Description

Going to Burning Man? Well you're going to need a hat my friend. Not only for the shade, but to keep that dusty hairdo under wraps. Don't skimp, buy a good one, and for heaven's sake avoid baseball caps with your favorite team at all costs.

Durex Tin of Assorted Condoms and 3 Free Vibrating Rings!

First to recommend

Description

Yes you can get lucky on the playa and no you cannot trust that they'll be prepared. Cupid can strike at any time and any place, so have some always on hand. This assorted tin promises a cornucopia of textured, ribbed and flavorful fun that you can share with friends. They'll like it so much better than (yet another) temporary tattoo. The vibrating rings, well that's just a bonus.

Sheer Chiffon Skirt

First to recommend

Description

Dressing for the playa for me is less about making and more about creative re-purposing. Liturgical wear "born-again" as a skirt that shows off my glitter panties?

Absolutely. Perfect.

Sarong (for men)

First to recommend

Description

Hey boys. First time going to Burning Man? Not sure what to wear? Ditch the hiking duds and bare some skin for starters with this first important step towards building a playa wardrobe. Put on a sarong, ANY sarong. Let some air start flowing! Before you know it, you'll be weaned off the boxer shorts and going commando.

Mandarin Collar Robe

First to recommend

Description

Why? Why not? If you need more of a reason, then it's because it beats the hell out of your pajamas in the morning and you don't need to put on underwear!
