    Three performers face the camera, standing against a tan-coloured wallpaper background with geometric shapes. The central performer is a woman in a red lace dress, wearing a headpiece made of black and red roses, topped with thin black spikes. She has reddish hair, and is twirling one strand around the fingers of her right hand. The performer to her right stands just behind her shoulder. His body faces out at a 45 degree angle while he looks directly at the camera. He wears high-waisted black pants with a thick red band across his waist, and he is not wearing a shirt. On his face, he wears light makeup, black streaks below his eyes and red streaks above his eye and down the sides of his nose. The performer to the left wears black pants, no shirt, and black gloves with lacy cuffs and silver trim. One hand is raised to his mouth, and he bites a finger between his teeth. He wears dark eye makeup, black with pink highlights. All performers have a seductive look on their faces.
