Wells Tower, in his essay “The Old Man at Burning Man” in
GQ
,
Feb. 2013, wrote about the nonstop nudity of the festival and his own feelings about it as he attended a “Human Carcass Wash” in hopes of getting a shower. “Until now, if given the choice, I’d have preferred to have a hole of large diameter drilled in my foot rather than be naked among strangers. But I am trying here, friends, so there is nothing to be done but to remove one’s clothes. I disrobe brusquely, a little angrily.”
