80-Burning Man--The Diary of a Mud Model @ CherieSpotting     Sep 04 2002 - 17:48 PST cherie writes: Have you ever wanted to cover yourself in mud on a blazing afternoon and let people take pictures of you? That's what we did. We took off our clothes, put on some mud, all in the name of art. Our "compensation" was a day of crazy fun, a signed enlarged photo by the professional photographer, and an intimate bath in "premium mud". Come look at more of my "filthy pictures!" Models: Jean, Anne, Rennie and I. Photographers--Greg and Dustin. Also some famous guy was there taking pictures, but I haven't seen his finsihed work yet. *All the photos in this section were taken by Dustin Fox.

All 122 people where broken up into goups of 10 to take a mud bath in the "premium mud" supplied by the photographer. Rennie and Anne, until dirt do they part. All you muddy people, stay behind the yellow line! Jean and Cherie. Isn't mud supposed to be good for your skin? You're never to old to get a little dirty! Jean and Rennie. Can't you recognize them? You can get dehyrated very easily in the desert...you must always drink your water! Muddy Girl Power. Here's to mud in your eye! All you need is mud. All you need is mud. All you need is mud, mud...mud is all you need. When it comes down to it, we're all just one big messy family. Hey, don't get my birthday suit dirty! The circus in everyone seems to come out in the mud. Moo Moo Moo. The great walk into the desert begins. Free at last! Can we stop walking now? Do you know that the desert floor is really really hot when you lie on it? Don't we look primal? The artist and his arrow of mud people. A star is born. A slightly warped star. Just when you pose the perfect picture, a water truck comes blazing through the desert out of no where. Everyone thought it ruined the shot, I think it made the picture. Can you find me, I'm the one who has wiped off most of her mud. Look to the right of the picture. What do you think it is? Finally after a 2 hour photo shoot, we are finished! What do you feed a hungry mud person? Answer: beer. Greg doesn't mind getting a little dirty, now that I am a famous model. True love doesn't mind a little dirt. This is the pool that is supposed to clean all 122 mud people. In a word...gross. Burning Man is just one big "bad hair" week.
