In the bottom right corner of the image, there is a black line drawing of two women with 1950s hairstyles whispering to each other against a blue-green background. In the upper left corner, there is a speech bubble. Inside the speech bubble, there is a white person's torso. They are wearing a low-cut white blazer with no shirt underneath. They are wearing a silver chain around their neck with the Vesper—a long, slim, metal vibrator—hanging off of it.
