Portrait photo of Marqueza. They wear a silver headpiece with pearls dripping down. Their hair is black and blue and styled in a wet look on the fringe and the rest falls on their shoulders. They are wearing a pearl bralet and jeans with turquoise feather detail. Their fingers are half painted silver and they have long pointy nails. They have tattoos and wear minimal makeup with a peach lipstick. Their right hand is bent upward towards their face and hand open as if holding the neck. Their left arm rests on their left leg, fingers splayed open. The backdrop is a plain pale blue with a water like print on it.

From out of frame, two large sets of femme-coded hands reach vertically to the middle ground, stabilising two brown-skinned, black-haired individuals. Daisies and purple, belled flowers bloom, aching towards a foreground homed sun.

Portrait colour photo of Parma Ham. They are stood staring and facing the camera front on. They have their iconic big blonde and black mohican hair. They wear long black leather gloves, a red leather kilt skirt and a huge silver metal chain around their neck and waist. They have their chest bare and are wearing black and red trousers underneath the skirt. They have pale foundation and red and black eye makeup with dark lipstick. The backdrop is plain.
