A person who identifies as female (Patricia) with long dark hair, stood in a pink two piece burlesque outfit, looking glamorous, holding a white and pink feather fan above her head.

Black and white landscape image. We see a person wearing a shell-like bra. They appear to be in a tunnel of material - as if the camera is peering under the duvet cover. They have dark hair, lipstick on and make up. They are further back in the image as the positioning of the covers makes them seem further away from the camera.

Three images of Tito Bone, on top of a glittery background Tito, a slim white drag king with freshly done buzz cut, pouts at the camera, one hand straightening their dazzling bowtie. They have a fantastic glitter beard and matching eyebrows that graduate from dark purple to blue to teal. They also have pink and purple shimmery eyeshadow, bright pink lips and a blue ring in the septum of their rather prominent nose. They are wearing a a black sleeveless tailcoat and a bowtie rhinestoned with purple pink and gold stones. You can’t see it here, but should know it matches Tito’ trousers beautifully, which is probs why they look so smug. Tito, a slim white drag king with spikey brown hair and a big nose. In their usual glitter beard and eyebrows in blue, purple and teal, they are wearing a sequinned black and white houndstooth coat, white trousers, blue shirt and pink tie. They have a big Britney-style mic on (#FreeBritney) they are holding their rainbow “white” cane in one hand and iPad in another. They are mid speech with a facial expression that says “do you even know what the social model of disability is???” (If you don’t, google it - or pay them and they will tell you about it) Tito, a slim white drag king with spiky brown hair shaved at the sides. They have a glitter beard and matching eyebrows that graduate from blue to teal to purple. They also have pink eyeshadow on and matching pink lips. They are wearing a sequins houndstooth coat, teal shirt and pink tie. They are standing in front of a textured green background and fanning themself with a rainbow fan. They are smiling slightly as if to say “oooh damn I’m sexy.”

in a quasi-comical pose, there are four sex-workers from Sexquisite Events from left to right. The furthest left is muscly, tattooed and in a bikini, flexing her muscles with her long blonde hair. Next right is a demurely dressed woman, looking faux-shocked but clearly also raring to get stuck in. Next is a woman in a short bob and thigh highs, sitting on a red sofa looking at the bodybuilder with her legs wide apart. The gap between her legs is covered by a clipboard, held by the business woman to her right who is looking knowingly at the camera.
