Burning Man festival draws star-studded crowd with nudity and ‘Orgy Dome’
the infamous Burning Man festival.The event, which kicked off Sunday, involves music and stunning art installations, but is also clothing-optional and at times a bit hedonistic — more about the “Orgy Dome” later.Other celebrities who have enjoyed the desert party in the past include Katy Perry, Cara Delevingne, Alessandra Ambrosio, Karlie Kloss and Adrian Grenier.The event was famously derailed last year when a rainstorm stranded thousands of festivalgoers in the mud, including several A-listers.Chris Rock and DJ Diplo walked for six miles in the mud before they were offered a ride on a truck by a fan.Diplo shared video on his Instagram of himself, Rock and several other “Burners,” as they’re called, walking through the mud and then sitting on the back of the truck after they were rescued.Rock, wearing a large jacket, could be heard talking about how much he wanted a “cold brew.”“I legit walked the side of the road for hours with my thumb out cuz i have a show in dc tonight and didnt want to let yall down,” the DJ wrote in the caption about a gig he was able to make that night. “Also shoutout to this guy for making the smart purchase of a truck not knowing it was for this exact moment.”Diplo later told CNN that the night before they trekked out, he and Rock had eaten dinner with Cindy Crawford, her husband Randy Gerber, daughter Kaia Gerber, Austin Butler and others and discussed what they would do because there was more rain in the forecast and no chance to drive out.He said Crawford’s family also walked with them.
