A feature displaying exciting handwritten looking text that reads "13th birthday Sale! A+ members can take 20% off the Autostraddle store" The feature is in our 13th birthday doodle and notebook paper style, with little abstract drawings and gem stone stickers in the background. Two images of perks are displayed in polaroid frames. On the left is our new Caligula Inn tee featuring an African Grey parrot with a blood red tale and then text that reads "The Caligula Inn Est. 1996" On the right are our fisting socks, with white outlines of various hand positions on a black sock.

This image looks like a page out of a 13 year old's notebook, covered in doodles and little drawings of stick figures and skulls. There is a detailed image of an eye and gem stickers placed all over it. In large bubble letters it reads, "It's our 13th Birthday Member Drive!" The A+ logo is drawn as a little doodle up in the corner.
