They are posed with their hands on their hips, they have red hair pulled back, a piercing under their lip, and red and black striped face paint on either cheek. The person behind them to the left is posed in the same way with light skin, blonde hair and glasses. They are wearing a yellow tank top and yellow cheetah print pants with roller skates on. There are varying people behind them posing, some with red shirts and some in yellow, most in roller skates. The background is dimly lit with the focal point of the light on the group.
