She discovered her vocal cords weren't just for screaming at her perpetually unimpressed father; they were weapons of mass seduction. At sixteen, she traded her virginity for a beat-up guitar and a one-way ticket to Vegas, where she quickly learned that a good pair of fishnets and a song about the joys of… uh… enthusiastic target practice could make a girl a whole lot of money.
"Shoot Your Shot All Over My Ass" wasn't exactly planned. It started as a drunken dare in a smoky backroom bar, a challenge to out-bawdy the other singers. But the raw, unbridled energy of the performance – the sheer audacity of it all – struck a chord (pun intended). The song became an underground anthem, a testament to Gloria's brazen refusal to be anything but gloriously, unapologetically herself.
Her tarantula collection? That was just a hobby. A way to keep her equally eccentric clientele at bay. Apparently, the sight of eight hairy legs scuttling across a velvet-draped armchair was a surprisingly effective way to discourage unwanted advances... or at least, to make them think twice before making a move. Gloria Floos: legend, icon, and arachnid enthusiast. Don't mess with her, or her pets.
