Stick an exaggeratedly tall feather in your fedora hat and call it The Do LaB Valentine’s. On Saturday, February 13, the LA-based Do LaB crew transformed the Shrine Expo Hall into their own shrine to love, music, and art for the 5th annual Lucent L’amour. Calling itself “a visionary love fest,” Lucent L’amour promised to be “the transformation of one night into a spontaneous combustion of love and mayhem.”
Hey, the Burning Man crowd has to do something to fill the 357 days of the year that they aren’t spending on the Playa.
Inspired installation art is The Do LaB’s signature, and as usual they crossed all their t’s and dotted all their i’s. A big temple in the center of the floor glittered with golden, ornate detail. In the back of the main dance floor, a huge glowing tree climbed to the ceiling, with seating around its roots. It was Home Tree standing in the middle of a forest of décor and costuming that felt like a nod to everyone’s favorite fetish right now–Avatar.
And the crowd at Lucent L’amour was more than eye candy–they were eye triple-chocolate-truffle-cake-with-sprinkles. Navigating the fest were people in goddess headdresses, long fur coats, guy-liner, bunny ears, animal heads, feathers. Twisted mimes stilt-walked next to teddy-bear-headed pixies in lacy bloomers.
The second floor balcony level offered the Go Big lounge for those who shelled out for a VIP-style pass. The lounge had dance floor views, fresh fruit and yogurt pretzels, a separate bar, and velvet beds and seating–which were used for snuggle piles and intimate hugs as early as 10 p.m.
Full photo gallery below.

Has it come down to begging for jobs in a fictional Pine Valley? Is that how bad it is in LA?
Stiff and unnatural, sure, but not the worst acting we’ve ever seen on daytime TV.
Our thanks to ronkayela for getting this up so fast. Be sure to check out his other recent YouTube uploads including “NUCH Tough Building Code Enforcement Plan Won’t Lead to Witch Hunts” and “LA’s Hidden $1 Billion Liability — and How It’s Being Put at Risk”.
