OMG! How awesome is this album cover of 60s Italian dyke icon Rita Pavone! The purple purl-stitched sweater. The hint of a paisley shirt underneath. The slight tilt of her ginger head. How can you not love her impish good looks?
I think I know what Jerri Blank (Rita’s doppelganger and body-double) would say about the cover, “I bet the carpet matches the drapes.”
