Kayla sits on an ornate Victorian sofa holding aloft a cocktail in a stemmed glass. She is wearing a doll-esque baby blue dress that is all gauzy with incredibly puffy sleeves, layers of pearls and a lace choker, ribbons in her hair which is braided, and glasses. She is holding her book, Helen House, which is pink with the title on it in white whimsical font and the "o" in house replaced with a smudgey lipstick kiss.
