A concert performance photograph by Alexis Thompson showing Mannequin Pussy at Jannus Live in St. Petersburg, Florida on Nov. 7, 2026. Captured from a low angle in a medium shot, lead vocalist and guitarist Marisa Dabice tilts her head back dramatically while performing under stage lighting. Positioned directly behind her is a vibrant light display forming a glowing halo and giant wings motif. She wears a white halter top with a cross necklace, a dark belt with a wallet chain, and a light-colored slit skirt while holding a microphone/guitar neck against atmospheric stage lighting.
