The model whose bottom is on the cover of The Strokes debut album 'Is This It' has explained how the image (her bottom with a gloved hand on it) came about. She told NME that in fact it wasn't really planned, and happened because she just happened to be naked in the house of her then boyfriend, photographer Colin Lane: "I walked out of the shower and I was completely naked. I was walking around the house - he was like, put this glove on. I walked over, boom, that was the shot".
Lane himself told NME last year: "A stylist left the glove in my apartment. I begged my girlfriend at the time to do it. We did about 10 shots. There was no real inspiration, I was just trying to take a sexy picture. My ex-girlfriend was thrilled - she was a very rock 'n' roll girl so it's a big feather in her cap to have her ass on The Strokes' cover".
