She Was a Sweetie. We Played Together In Sweet's Ballroom Lighting

(I Met Her at Sunday Morning Ecstatic Dance in Oakland. She Was Sweet, and We Played In The Sweet's Ballroom Lighting)

I took street fashion shots at Ecstatic Dance, a kind of Dance Church for the Burning Man Subculture. They are a kind of New Age spiritual community imported from Hawaii's Big Island. I was disappointed in the Burning Man Fashion though, The yoga-pants-that-make-my-ass-look-good thing is really overplayed. They are part a new uniform for the New Age elite of Marin County, just north of San Francisco. Marx called religion "The opiate of the masses". Zizek thinks that New Age Spirituality is the opiate of the alienated knowledge processing elite within Digital Capitalism.
