PHOTOESSAY: Dinah Dinah Dinah

This year I decided to DO Dinah (as opposed to last year when I ran away and went camping). It’s basically “how long can I survive in the heat before I die” and then “how long can I stay at this party before I pass out” and repeat.

Things to bring:

  • sunscreen
  • phone charger
  • swim suit
  • something to put over your swimsuit
  • some sort of white-ish outfit
  • donuts
  • your dog (if your lodging allows)

I checked into the Saguaro for some rest. I highly recommend having a place to hideaway from the action.
