Alt-text: a polaroid photograph of three women standing in front of a brutalist building. All three are holding red solo cups. Two of them are laughing; the third's smile doesn't reach her eyes. There are other figures in the background, blurry, out of focus, just inside the building's mouth and glimpsed through its brightly lit windows.
The woman on the left is tall and large. Though she does not have a classic swimmer's body, there is something unmistakably hydrodynamic about her. Her skin is tanned and her hair is short. She is wearing jeans, a plaid button-down shirt, and a faintly iridescent satin shawl.
She has her arm around the woman in the center's shoulders, who is barely half her size. She is dressed in a striped black-and-yellow bodycon dress that conceals very little of her dark, heavily tattooed skin. All of her tattoos are golden, and all of them follow the same theme: thick liquid dripping out of the holes in a hexagonal grid. Her long hair is a riotous mix of reds and golds, thick curls filling the space around her head and dripping down to pool on her shoulders.
The third woman, who is not laughing, is wearing a brightly patterned dress over black leggings. It looks something like an unfocused impression of a city's skyline, bright angular shapes climbing up a magenta-and-blue background like a remembered sunset. Her skin seems faintly unhealthy, as if it were not quite illuminated by the same light as the other two are, and she is sweating. Her brown hair is cut short in an approximation of a pixie cut.
Beneath the photograph, in an elegant though obviously rushed cursive, are the words "Summer '14. Lake's party. Mira, Van, and Penny."
