PLEASE NOTE:  The four dots visible are reflections of the light. At the top, there are two Velcro stickers.

 The Ten of Spades features a three-quarter portrait of a person painted with an eyemask, a choker, stars on their breasts, panties, evening gloves, and fishnet suspender stockings. These items are primarily painted in the color palette of the lesbian flag (red, pink, orange, white). The person has been decorated in many rhinestones of the same colors.

"The Deck of Cards was conceived by Assouline, who were inspired by MAC Cosmetics' irreverent imaging and makeup artistry. Working with the MAC Creative Team, the idea grew as some of the world's most renowned designers, musicians and artists created unique body designs that became this provocative deck of playing cards. The response was phenomenal. All of the designs submitted were not only original and creative but reflected the individual personalities of the well-known participants." Released as a deck of standard-size playing cards and later as a book collection of the images, portions of proceeds from sales benefited the MAC Aids Fund.
