A while ago, gorgeous blogger Annie at Poetic & Chic got me thinking about Herb Alpert, which got me thinking about one of my favorite album covers of all time.
The girl in the “whipped cream” (most of it was really shaving cream) was Dolores Erickson. You can read about her here and here.
My parents have this album. I think they possibly still listen to it.
and the music industry wonders why they can’t shift ‘units’…heaven!
that’s a creative cover, hehe
That cover is amazing. I’d totally frame it and hang it on my wall. But then again, my mother already thinks I’m a lesbian because of my infatuation with large breasted women, I wonder what she’d say about this on my wall.
If I had been the stylist I would have put a cherry on top of her head. But, that’s just me.
I thought that was a fluffy wedding dress for a second! Tasty..
The cover is amazing! Very creative!
Frothy.
OMFG, I’m of an age that I remember my parents having that album in their “record” collection that they played in the floor model stereo. I used to have nightmares about that woman
I wouldn’t have made shaving cream look that good. Wow.
I remember seeing this in my dad’s album collection when I was a kid. I was young, too young to know what was what, and yet, I knew this was provocative. It’s never been outdone, I don’t think. That was a great record, too.
it’s cool that you read the hebdige booko in school! I’m planning on blogging about the seminar…
I read that you had dinner with Enc. WB you really are like a celebrity blogger.
I now have two new goals in life: 1.) Have someone refer to me casually as “gorgeous blogger” and 2.) get my girlfriend to wear that same outfit. Thanks for the inspiration!
I’ve never heard of this but I’ll check out the link! ♥
That’s such a great cover, but I keep thinking of the mess it must have made.
Wendy, hahahaha, so much time without seeing that funky and old cover!
In some way it’s so sexy
A very big kiss!
Kian, my parents had it too.
LBIC, I want to hear more about your big boobie fetish.
LBR, I’m with you. It needed that little something extra.
Gifted, why the nightmares?
ENC, I was the same way. I knew there was something naughty but I didn’t quite get it.
McGone, send me that pig and I’ll see what I can do about #1.
makes me very hungry!
I have this on vinyl. Which also reminds me of the remix album they did and the cover is complete trash. Why do new versions of things have to be so terrible all of the time?
And dammit – I was in LA all last week.
now i have a sudden urge to bathe in whipped cream…fun no?
I really like Jimmy Smith record covers. . . they’re vibrant and bright. Especially “Any Number Can Win”. . .
