    A close-up image of a singer, a woman in her late 50s, with dark hair, wearing a large decorative headpiece made of layered fabric. She has pearl earrings, bold red lipstick, and is dressed in a high-collared, pleated garment with shimmering details. The lighting casts shadows on her face, creating a dramatic and intense expression as she gazes toward her audience beyond the frame of the image. The dark background further emphasizes her face and attire.

They reach into the guts, which are soft and dimpled and made from stuffed knee socks and nylon stockings, and examine the Unidentified Remains that are scattered amongst them. At the centre lies Big Softie’s heart, a red patchwork soft sculpture with tendrils extending outward.
