Stacy Keibler's Post-Clooney Transformation


RICHARD LAWSON

SEP 4, 2013

Stacy Keibler is going through some things. The former professional wrestler broke up with George Clooney a couple months ago, and was faced with that biggest of questions: What do I do now?

Life can be strange for George Clooney's exes. Whatever happened to Elisabetta Canalis? Nobody knows! No one really knows.

Keibler would like to avoid that fate, of course, but she also needs to be herself, to find out who she is and live her truest life. And what better place to do that than Burning Man. Yes, Stacy Keibler spent the weekend at Burning Man, the great anarcho-hippie festival in the Nevada desert where people do a lot of drugs and hug each other and close their eyes real real tight and wish, futilely, that the world was different, that they didn't have to go back to their regular boring lives and instead just do this forever.

It's for young dreamers and old refugees and Stacy wanted in. And she seemed to have had a wonderful time, if her Instagram account is any indication. She took lots of pictures of hippie wastrels and sunrises and whatnot, tagging most pictures with #lifechanging or #teamlifechanging.

So she's feeling things out in that desert, her mind is expanding, her soul reaching. And that's good! Always good to feel yourself growing. But Burning Man? C'mon, Stace. You're not 19. Read a book or take a class. Change your life that way. Stumbling around Burning Man for a few days and then returning to the relatively jet-set life isn't real change. It's distraction.

Unless of course Stacy Keibler ends up moving to a yurt in Indio and really committing to this. "Where did Stacy Keibler go?" "She lives outside Bozeman with a guy named Satchel, his sister Kiley, and like eight dogs. She works at a river rafting place I think." "Oh." If that happens, then fine. Burning Man did change her life. But if not? It was just a weekend away.
