This past weekend at Ultra Music Festival in Miami, there were some folks that were better dressed, and others more sensibly garbed, but the following fashionistas spotted during night one of this year's three-day shit fest were the ones that stood out to us the most. These bass junkies in tutus, dead starfish, Pokémon body suits and Halloween costumes offered words of fashion advice and reflection.

Damn, Ultra Music Festival is a mad house. Everywhere you look, it's neon titties, the bottom half of asses or some kind of sexy rabbit hoppin' around with a lollipop in her cheek. Only a special kind of woman can brave the downtown Miami masses for three days, and maybe even six. It takes guts, chutzpah, but not a whole lot of clothing. Here are some of the ladies spotted at this year's Ultra Music Festival in Miami.

If you missed the hour-long live stream a bit ago in which "Weird" Al Yankovic announced the headliners for this year's edition of Bonnaroo, rest easy: We've got you covered. We took notes on all the acts announced thus far. Prepare to be overwhelmed: There's roughly ten billion on the bill, including a trio of Colorado acts. Can you guess which ones? Go on. See if you can guess without peeking, and then continue on to see if you're right. Oh, and just in case you're wondering: Bonnaroo is slated for June 13-16, which means you won't have to miss this year's Westword Music Showcase, which takes place on Saturday, June 22. Speaking of which, we just made a little announcement of our own.
