Lost City of Atlantis: The Making of the Queen

Foots is still at it, quietly plugging away, working hard to complete the Lost City of Atlantis off Cayman Brac. Recently, he's been busy making the Queen. Okay, so maybe "making the Queen" isn't entirely accurate. What Foots has been doing is "casting the Queen" -- in the sense that he's casting her form!

Yes, Foots has found the woman who will serve as the model for the Queen of Atlantis! Claiming he selected her based on what a good person she is, it sure is a huge compliment for the woman selected. I wish I could be the Queen of Atlantis. Er...well, you know what I mean.

So who IS this woman? Unfortunately, Foots isn't ready to reveal her identity -- we'll have to wait until DEMA (which is next month!) for that. In the meantime, however, Foots has provided Divester with some exclusive photos of the casting process. Let me apologize in advance for the "?" obscuring the Queen's face, but Foots made me promise not to reveal her alter-ego. Sorry, but I want to be allowed into Atlantis, too!

Becoming Queen takes time. First, Foots has to explain how the process works.

Plans

When they're both ready, Foots prepares the Queen for her casting...

Looks like she's getting a massage on the beach!

...and then pours concrete over her face. Can you see the "breathing tubes" (i.e., straws) she's using? Man, Foots thinks of everything!

Love the hairnet!

Soon, her entire face is covered with concrete. It looks like pancake batter.

Can you say,

Next, his model looks at her face. I gotta admit...it sure doesn't look like a face.

A-ha! When the concrete is finally dry, Foots has his mold. Kinda creepy, huh?

Creepy!

Foots hasn't finished making the body of the Queen yet, so we don't have any pictures. However, he did promise to share his photos of the Queen when she's complete. Gosh, I wonder who she is, and why he chose her...

If you want to learn more about Foots and his project, check out the rest of the photos of the Lost City of Atlantis. Also, be sure to listen to Divester's interview with Foots.
