Description

Photograph of two people dressed in costumes at the Terlingua Chili Cook-Off. The person on the left wears a flat-brimmed hat, glasses, a knee-length coat and sandals. They hold their coat open with their right hand to reveal a bra-shaped article of clothing with fake breasts and a paper on them that says "Terlingua Bust". The person also has fake curly hair attached over their crotch with an upside-down paper reading "Terlingua Bush". Held in the right hand of the person is a clear umbrella, while their left hand holds a cylindrical woven item the person to the right holds in front of their own crotch. The person on the right wears a cowboy hat, long-sleeved shirt, shorts, flat shoes, and cloth that hands from their knees to the ground. They also wear a mask shaped like a humanoid face with exaggerated features like an unnaturally wide smile. They pose with their hands around the cylindrical woven object the other person also holds. The duo poses in front of a fence, standing on loose rocks and dirt near crushed drink cans. In the background is a rectangular stone building on an elevated stone platform with a thatched overhang at its entrance where two people stand, looking to the left.
