Two modern and fashionable grandmothers in a claymation style standing on a street corner. They have over-the-top, big, and colorful beehive hairdos in a gay pride theme with rainbow colors. The grandmothers are dressed in trendy and stylish clothing, one in a chic pantsuit and the other in a fashionable dress with accessories. The street corner is modern, with a clean and stylish urban background. The scene is whimsical and humorous, with bright and vivid colors.
