2 August 2023

A photo of Oozing Gloop performing on a stage, Her face is painted green with gold fragmented foil makeup on her eyelid and cheeks, with red lipstick. She’s wearing a white and brown long-sleeved cow pattern dress, a red pirate hat that has white feathers on either side, and gold platform heels. She is crouched down looking into the audience with one hand resting on her legs and one hand against her chin. Blue and green stage lights are gleaming behind her as a small crowd is stood beside the stage watching her.
