A cartoonish creature dressed in pink, jester-like clothes is in the middle of the screen. She has a child-friendly appearance that popular mascot characters would have such as Mickey Mouse. She is smiling as she looks slightly to the left, listening to a person that is not shown within this particular scene.Her arm is bent slightly, as if she was in the middle of reaching something with her white, mittened hand above her head and out of frame towards the top right of the screen. The background of the image is a yellow, monochromatic painting that shows the top left half of a fridge on the right side of the frame. There is a blurry filter over the image that makes it appear as if is it was recorded on an old VHS tape.

There are three characters total, each created on my body with prosthetics, heavy makeup, and costuming. I created each of their physical attributes with scar wax and prosthetics that I bought online. Brenda has a blonde updo, and has large cheekbones from plastic surgery that have aged and wrinkled over time. She has large, injected lips. She wears a blue velour tracksuit and tennis shoes. Each of Brenda's photographs are framed in ornate, gold frames. Mia is a bad-ass brunette woman based on Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction. She is wearing ripped, boot-cut jeans, and a black zip-up. She has very chiseled cheekbones, luscious lips, and high eyebrows. All of her photographs are framed in dark wooden frames. Amber has very, very large injected lips, and long blonde hair extensions. She is wearing a pink matching set. She vapes. Josie Burck: What If? Undergraduate Josie Burck: What If?
