05. 📸 The Fame Monster 📸

Being famous isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Take it from Gwen, or better known as the Fame Monster. After running away from another mob of paparazzi, Gwen tried to run away from it all, sick of the constant attention and camera flashes. She ended up stumbling into an arcade complex, but that didn’t matter to her; she was out of the spotlight for once. Fortunately for her, Gwen still retains her pop star talent and gothic flare for the tournament. Will she top the charts once again in Mash N’ Up?
