The "Ask the Cast" series returns, once again, with the fiftieth edition.

Clara wasn't thrilled initially with this question - she misinterpreted it as a suggestion that her modeling career's ended, long before her time. Getting past this misunderstanding, and after a quick review of the question, she gets into answering it...

Clara is asked a question that more or less triggers . . . a dark chapter in her modeling career. There was a time when she did take pics of her feet, with and without shoes. Following an incident at her first modeling gig, involving the infamous CEO, Mr. Fartsyfeet III, the very thought of taking pictures of her feet more or less brings her back to that moment - and what a dark moment it was. Luckily for Clara, her protective father stepped in, took care of the creepy CEO, boxing champion style.

If you thought this would convince Clara to end her modeling career, it didn't. Her father's lawyers have guided her in the right direction, to seek employment with more reputable modeling agencies. From there, the modeling career went smoothly for her.

SPECIAL NOTE: this entry in the "Ask the Cast" series gave me a chance to refine Clara's backstory, to finally explain her hesitation in taking feet related questions. I have since decided this would be official canon: whenever she hears folks asking her for feet pics, or why she isn't too keen on talking about shoes, she's immediately taken back to her time in Fartsyfeet's presence...

It has also been decided that the Clara character will be a bellydancer, in addition to her being a swimsuit model.

As for the Fartsyfeet III character, his creation was heavily inspired by the various antagonist characters in the Captain Underpants franchise, though mostly Professor Pee-Pee Diarrheastein Poopypants Esquire.
