Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Venus Xtravaganza
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	Purpose of the image is to illustrate the features of Venus Xtravaganza. A trans-woman who was still biologically male (and hoping for a full transition later in life), Xtravaganza was popular in the New York City Ballroom Scene in the 1980's. She candidly spoke of working as an escort and sometimes providing sex to fund her lifestyle in the documentary film "Paris is Burning". The image would illustrate what she spoke candidly about in the documentary, stating that her petite frame, small hands, blonde hair and light skin made her a desirable to clients. Xtravaganza was ultimately murdered by one of her clients, and this is a key element of the article.
