Since I'd had some good coverage combining 'before and after' prompts with mud and gunge, I tried to do the same with a pie prompt:
"Before and after picture of [a 1960s brunette aged about 32 with shoulder-length bobbed hair dressed in a futuristic dark green security uniform with a white diagonal belt]. The background is a pie fight [in a canteen between film technicians]. Before: she is clean, eyes open, surprised. After: Opaque white splatters and pie fragments all over her arms & shoulders, forehead and wet hair & face entirely unrecognizable under white frosting, eyes closed, wiping her face in disgust"
Seems to work quite well and not result in too many dogs.

That is so ingenious! Love seeing how the community is developing their prompts - Thanks for sharing yours, your work is excellent!
More generally, I like the concept of someone having to walk home messy and explain to her shocked flatmate what on earth happened. "Well, apparently there's this initiation thing for new secretaries at our office..."
Sample prompt: "Scene from 1990s slapstick film showing Kim arriving at a suburban flat, Sadie greets her. Kim is a blonde secretary aged around 25 wearing business clothes, she is covered from head to toe in green and yellow slime. Gunge is dripping from her hair and clothes, she looks ashamed. Sadie is a shy 25yo brunette woman with straight hair wearing a dress, she looks surprised."
I've been having a bit more of a play with the Bing generator today, a few things I'm finding:
-it feels like there is a pre-filter and post-filter step. Pre-filter seems to be scoring the text for dubious words (too horny and you get blocked), post-filter seems to be analysing the output to try to block overly horny stuff from the generator. -certain substances like "chocolate" or "custard" seem more likely to get blocked, but if you use "gravy" or "béchamel sauce" then you will usually get it through. -throwing in "...is a Twitch streamer" seems to be a fairly reliable way to get slightly curvier images, without hitting the censor filter or going all the way over to obese. -the post-filter seems to get very confused when a substance is approximately skin coloured. None of these images requested any kind of nudity in the prompt, it seems to have just fallen out of the generator and then got past the filter. -the generator does a surprisingly good job of two substances being poured into each other! The human lasagna forfeit worked remarkably well
Inspired by some of the photos on here, I've been playing around with Bing to see if I can create some messy art. I'm finding it a bit hit-and-miss, especially with regard to the explicit prompt filter.
For clothing I've been finding that "swimsuit" and similar words get blocked but "water polo kit" produces the result I want. "Gymnastics kit", "netball kit" and just "sports kit" all get pretty good results. "Rugby kit" also seems to work well, but that might just be me own tastes showing through.
I've attached some of my favourites, if anyone wants to know the prompts I used let me know.
But I used to be able to get an alternative photographic image creator by googling "microsoft designer image creator", which didn't have the boost function and allowed much longer prompts. Now when I search that term, it will only send me to https://designer.microsoft.com/ which is a designer tool which seems determined to make me business cards or postcards or insta posts! Text all over them etc. Have MS changed things around or has too much AI WAM rotted my brain?

It's a classic scenario: Our reporter on the spot bravely dons her wellies and does a piece to camera about how, after heavy rain, the mud could present a challenge for an upcoming sporting event... only to end up in it herself.
Messg, I like to imagine your images take place in a world where WAM is as mainstream as foreplay. Your images are always lovely, and it always amazes me that you are able to get any of those images to come through the filters. I've been fighting the dog on Bing for over an hour now just trying to get a fully clothed person to stand in a room with subway tiles on the walls lol.

I followed that Designer link and this is the first time I've ever seen the Designer homepage. Like A_I_Wammer, I've only ever seen the Design Creator, which seems to only use stock images rather than generate them and works great for flyers or business cards, but doesn't generate anything new.
I've used the Customize link off the Bing Image Creator, but it would never actually let me do anything. Generative Erase would just run for like a minute, then reset without doing anything. Same with Remove Background. I'll probably give it all another try tomorrow, now that I'm actually seeing the homepage, but the last few times I've tried, I just got frustrated and went back to Bing because nothing worked. But this is literally the first time I've seen the Image Creator page in Designer. I was wondering why you all kept talking about generating images with Designer when I was just getting postcard designs.
Maybe certain internet providers or locations are/were limited in use?
