Management knew someone who has worked with Slipknot. I had these ideas for this thing here, this song, the storyline and all this stuff. There was some new things coming into it. And I saw what this girl Missy Munster from Los Angeles had done before. I saw a crown, but it was different than what I had in mind. I wanted it much shorter. It was much taller at the end and different. So I asked, "Can you do this? Can you do that? What about this?" There was a mask she had done with a ram's head she had done earlier as well. I told her "But I can't use it like that. Can you do it this way?
Can you close it so it becomes almost a whole head instead of just a front mask?" And she did these things like we hoped for, and the jackets and the robes.
Actually, she went to a...I don't know if it was a museum, but it was where they had an exhibit of old 17th century clothing. And she got to copy a pattern and measure, I think with gloves on, this 17th century bishop's coat. So that's what they are based on; actual patterns from the coat. She made one red and one black - that was my choice. I wanted it to have crosses on the back. She did an amazing job. She really recreated that style that would have been used in the 17th century.
