A laminated VIP pass for a SWV (Sisters With Voices) concert.

Leanne "Lelee" Lyons stands behind Johnson and Gamble and leans forward so that her chin rests on the crown of Johnson's head. The women all wear fur stoles around their shoulders. Stylized text in the top right corner of the pass reads [SISTERS WITH VOICE / SWV / NEW BEGINNING]. Black text at the bottom of the pass reads [VIP].
