SluGoddess Slime Shine, AKA Jenette Kime, is the only SLUG Queen to serve for two consecutive years.
Thanks, COVID!
At her coronation, SluGoddess Slime Shine costume was all about upcycling – her extravagant green and pink dress was made from discarded materials found in local Goodwill and St. Vincent de Paul thrift stores. Her scepter, also very extravagant, was made of recycled materials, out of a baluster — a staircase pole — with bottle caps hanging off. No one is quite sure what her 5” heels were made of. To distract from her singing, Slime Shine decided to throw a mini-parade, inviting members of the audience to join in. This planted the seeds for her dream of revitalizing the annual EUG Parade in all its glory. She also plans to literally resuscitate the original slug head that “died” in an accident on Beltline Road. As the Chinese-dragon-esque slug, which has appeared in endless Eugene Celebration parades, was being taken to storage, the slug’s head fell off the vehicle and the gastropod was mercifully “put down.”
