A head-to-toe party photograph of ABNiamh, a fictional 20-year-old Irish Traveller woman, standing beneath festoon lights outside a lavish marquee at the caravan encampment at night. She wears a skin-tight emerald-green metallic mini dress with a low draped neckline, thin gold-chain shoulder straps and a very short straight upper-thigh hem. Three large asymmetrical cutouts curve across the front waist and both sides, leaving narrow glossy green bands joined by chunky gold-coloured plastic links. The fitted skirt sits low on her hips, with an oversized sewn-on gold plastic bow over one hip. Raised gold acrylic leaves, clear diamantes and bright green sequins decorate the neckline and the edges of the open sections, while the central fabric remains smooth and reflective. Gold lace-up stiletto sandals, a small emerald clutch and large gold earrings. Her dark-brown hair forms an enormous rounded bouffant with a towering teased crown and dense, glossy curls pinned up at the back. Heavy pencilled brows, very thick strip lashes, frosty pale eyeshadow and shiny pink lips over dark lip liner. She beams directly towards the camera, upper teeth showing, cheeks lifted and eyes bright, with one hand on her hip. Adult relatives dance behind her among giant illuminated birthday numerals, crystal chandeliers, gold chairs, cascading silk roses and rows of caravans. Crisp white flash catches the shiny green fabric and moulded gold trim, with warm marquee light in the busy background and natural skin texture visible.
