Out of Town / Photo The People of Walmart Coachella

Posted by Kelly O on Fri, Apr 20, 2012 at 11:45 AM

California's Coachella Music and Arts Fest kicks off weekend number two today. Will Paris Hilton show up again? Or David Hasselhoff? Will Tupac rise from the dead, JUST ONE MORE TIME?

Most importantly, though: WHAT TO WEAR?! The fashion choices of adult humans really floored me last weekend. And unlike People of Walmart, these folks have great big buckets full of money to shop wherever they choose.

More photos after the jump! All were taken on the festival grounds last Saturday, April 14, 2012.

Gee, I wonder what his penis looks like?

How 'bout go and see some bands/artists play music instead of showing off in your "look how silly/ironic I am costumes!"

What a great time to be young!

@1 Thanks D!!

@5 - I counted about 45 Indian Headresses in just one afternoon. I didn't feel like photographing them. Too stupid, even for me.

I know the outrageous costumes kind of make people look like douches, but like, I've been to some festivals, and a costume can sometimes be the only answer to finding your friends ever again.
But yeah, fuck these jerks and all the fun they are obviously having. So lame.

Great finds! Heading into festival number two in a few hours to see how different things look in 100 degree weather versus last year's chilly and mild climate.

In fairness to this festival (which I really do adore), the crazily offensively costumed are by far in the minority. And some of the feathers are the responsibility of an on-site powder room in the VIP cage.

Looks like a bunch of mentally ill rapists.

But then that's how SLOG pays for itself.

Eeeeeeeee! I didn't post these pics as a "fuck you jerks"
And I *love fun* and people having fun.

These were just the showy peacocks, being ridiculous on purpose... please don't read it so seriously.

Josh - good luck out there in heat! Can't wait to see this weekend's pictures...

I like the guy in the fuck pants. I also like the girl with the guy in the fuck pants.

@Kelly, I love the pics, no shade. My comment was mostly to @4 and anyone else who wants to hate on these kids simply for their stupid outfits. I say, WERK those stupid outfits, they look great!
