Twilight Whispers

An African-American woman wearing a white sun dress and a brown afro is sitting criss-cross applesauce style with her back to the camera as she gazes at a beutiful scenic view. In her view there a crystal blue body of water and cotton candy colored blue and pink clouds above the water in the sky. The woman looks calm and content as she absorbs the beauty of nature.

Y.O.L.O.

A Caucasian woman with brown hair style in a body wave style, is sitting in the driver seat of a car. She is wearing subtle clown makeup and has a red shirt on with a black blazer coat over the shirt. She is smiling slightly with a smirk but she doesn't look happy, she looks pissed and her smile looks artificial. The background of the car looks a little eerie with silhouettes of two cats sitting behind her and a dim light shining behind the cats and also glowing through their eyes. The image has a thriller vibe.
