When it gets chilly I have my "show sweater". It's a little black cardigan that I have worn to every fest I've ever been to and a few other shows as well. I like it because after I start dancing and get all hot it ties around my waist easily because it's not too thick.
It's old and ragged, it's lost most of it's shape but I don't care... it's soft and comfy and besides it's my friend
I just found a link for it... Ive read a lot of reviews from women using it as a foundation on their face (or under the foundation, either way) but no one has talked about how well it works for what it is supposed to do...
There's this stuff called Body Glide you could try out, i think there's something about it in this thread. You can get it at REI and i'm sure other outdoor gear stores, it basically looks like a deodorant stick. I've never used it but i've heard good things about it!! Oh and you can even get the kind that helps prevent blisters too.
So, ladies...I know people have said it gets chilly at night, but I don't really have anything that will work for those chilly nights. What are you all bringing for those chilly nights?
I wear a t-shirt and a zippered hoodie, and I also wear a pair of flannel pjs under my long skirts.

johnson & johnson makes a babypowder made with cornstarch which works really well. i'm in the same boat boomerang, i wanna keep it breezy sans chafing.
I bought BodyGlide and just tried it out on my walk home from work (about 30 minutes). And it worked! Not as good as having actual material between your legs, but I did not end up raw the way I normally do when I walk home in a skirt. I do think I'd have to reapply after a while.
I bought it at drugstore.com and got the .45oz size and a big one. Figure I'll keep the big one at camp and take the little one in my backpack to reapply.
Oh - and this stuff also helps with blisters (at least that's what the package says!)
I just wanted to say I am loving this site!!! I am so excited to go to Bonnaroo! This is my first time and this site is making me more and more excited!!!
I have a crocs question. I am afraid if i get the kind with the back strap that my feet will get hot and sweat and the strap will rub and I will get a blister. Im wondering if the Cleo style would be a better option or if you all think it would defeat the purpose of the crocs because of the lack of coverage?

One thing about those kind of shoes are that they might not be good in mud in case it rains. The ones with the strap will stay on your feet in mud. Ones without straps may not.
The regular crocs with the backstrap swing up so you can go without the strap if you want.
My feet are gonna sweat no matter what shoe I have on.

Amber: as long as you get your Crocs in a big-enough size, I doubt you'd have any problem with a back-of-the-ankle blister. Mine have never rubbed me the wrong way back there; they're just nicely loose. Plus, you can keep the strap forward most of the time, unless the ground's wet or you're too inebriated or whatever to keep your shoes on. The Cleo is cute; do you have a place you can go to and try the different styles on? Because some of the footbeds feel differerent. Like, I really like the Nile style, but the Caymans soles just feel more comfortable to me. In case you wanna read a whole lot more about them, there's one or two Crocs threads somewhere here........umm...here's one: bonnaroo.proboards21.com/index.cgi?board=logistics&action=display&thread=1149557725
And, I'll be bringing a tube of the Monistat stuff (that just sounds awful to admit) - I got a free sample and a $1 coupon from the link that was posted on the boards somewhere a couple times. It's in the stores right next to all the other Monistat & preg test stuff. I have not tried it yet - haven't wanted to purposefully walk around in those conditions anywhere else lately - but figure better to get it anyway.
Thanks so much gals! I really appreciate it! I think I am going to go try some on to see what the different ones feel like. That is true about the back strap being movable i hadn't really thought about it, i just hate me some blisters!
I think im going to pick me up some of that monistat stuff too, (it does sound awful! You're right!) I've heard that talcum powder doesn't cake like baby powder, is that true?
ok...i figure that since I have a girly fashion ish question this is the best place to do it...
ok so my hair is finally long enough to pull into a pony tail and I am kinda excited by that (means other options besides bandanas at Roo plus it is uncharted territory for me) but I still can't quite get it down.
There has to be some sort of trick to being able to pull all your hair back and not gett all the bumps that I seem to keep having. I went and got myself a paddle brush as well as some of those tiny black hair tie thingys...advice please. oh and also...how long can your hair stay back like that before you should fix it or is that just a judgment call?
You gotta smooth out all the bumps before you tie it up, I don't use a brush I just use my fingers. If the hair tie is tight enough you shouldn't have to redo it for a couple hours, if it starts to slip or feels loose then fix it.

awsome..thanks and karma for the help. I was hoping I wouldnt have to bring a brush with me all the time to pull it all back and such(my girlfriend always has her purse and a brush in it so everytime she goes to do it she has her brush to help)
I hear those tiny black things I got break all the time...any better recomendations?
I get the thicker elastics, they also make some that have ridges that are supposed to help keep it in place. The little ones will work but they don't have the strength of the big ones.
