Big Mike, a flamboyant white drag king, stares wistfully at the camera under soft pink and blue lighting. He holds a pastel green fur shawl in one fuschia-gloved hand and uses the other hand to frame his chiseled jaw and immaculately groomed facial hair. His curly brown hair frames his face and a pink dusting of eyeshadow highlights the intense sparkle in his brown eyes. At the bottom of the frame, his white, lacy pantaloons are barely visible, peeking from underneath his fuschia silk shirt.
