THEME
All things that glow, blink, whir and luminesce with much black light. Traditionally a high-tech, neon, faux-formal, with this year's techo-robotic twist - all things electro-chic or sci-fantastic are encouraged. Come as a Pleasure Robot, Electric Ersatz Animal or Luminescent Lamb… Yes, the Year of the Sheep continues and we touch on another cult-classic film as this too, has a sequel in process.

ABOUT
Black & Light Ball began (10 years ago!) as a high-tech reimagining of Truman Capote's Black & White Ball… The Second of Kostume Kult's spring/summer Burning Man fundraisers, this is a fabulous fashion event with much black light and other glowing, psychedelic displays. As the original large-scale black light party, with many others now, we encourage guests to be extra creative and go beyond neon rave-wear if you dare... All who make an effort are welcome!
