This incredible sculpture, The Bone Tree, is one of the iconic artpieces of Burning Man history. It was created in 1999 by Dana Albany, who works with reclaimed materials for her sculptures. The Bone Tree is made from cow bones that she gathered from the rangeland surrounding the desert.

A lot of people think Burning Man fashion is all about faux fur, but it really has more to do with playfulness and unabashed creativity. For this outfit, I mixed it up for a look that’s cute and polished at the same time.

My Minnie Mouse ears are actually a vintage hat that I’ve had since the late ’80s. The necklace is Chanel costume jewelry. The vest was designed by my brother Zaldy. It’s a light nude mesh fabric with hand-sewn red ruffles and sequins. Over it, I added a red belt to tie everything together.

See those bracelets on my wrist? Like the boots, you’ll see them again. Those wristbands mean that I’m a Burning Man staff member, and I’ll wear them for the next couple of weeks at least.
