The following excerpt comes from an
interview in Fiz magazine (Issue #7, July/August 1993) and relates to the
look of Cristina on the cover of this release:
"Fiz: The first one has that real cheesecakse/pinup girl look to it. I like that
kind of stuff.
Cristina: It's supposed to be like Femlin, the party joke girl in Playboy.
Fiz: Wow, I never even equated the two. I didn't even realize she had a name.
Cristina: Just a bit of trivia for you. But yeah, that's what I was going for there.
I actually had this make up artist there who painted my nipples black! It was really
funny. Having some woman, while I'm sitting there having a cigarette, painting my
nipples black.
Fiz: Why would you do that?
Cristina: (laughing) Because Femlins nipples are black! She's just an outline. We
were trying to make it as high contrast as possible, so it was like an outline with
black gloves and boots, black hair and black nipples." - Fiz Magazine
The following comes from an interview with Cristina Martinez in
S&M Magazine regarding the sleeve and reaction to it:
"S&M: And you know I'm gonna ask this one as well. Why did you pose naked
for the first album? And I bet you're sick of this question.
Cristina: I believe that the album cover should reflect the content of
the material within the record...
S&M: Which it does
Cristina: ...which it does, and it has in every case, and that's always been important
to me, and the first record was a real sort of raw exposure of myself, and a real
changing point, and it was coming out for me.
S&M: I believe you got some stick off your friends for doing it?
Cristina: I did. A lot of people took it the wrong way and thought it was some sort
of sexploitation-like cheap thrills, sort of shock value thing on my part, and that
was not the case. It was disappointing." - Gerry Mander / S&M Magazine
