Model

The Resume

    (1958- )
    Born in United Kingdom
    Posed for the cover of Blind Faith's debut album
    Later became a massage therapist

Why she might be annoying:

    The album cover was controversial since she posed topless.
    Holding a rather phallic-looking airplane model did not help matters.
    She inspired rumors that she was Ginger Baker's illegitimate daughter or a groupie kept as a slave by the band.
    Photographer Bob Seidemann rather pompously compared her image to Shakespeare's Juliet and a Botticelli angel.

Why she might not be annoying:

    Seidemann had originally approached her older (age 14) sister, who balked at posing nude.
    She asked for a pony as her fee, but received 40 pounds instead.
    Her parents approved of her posing and were present in the studio.
    The band took the name Blind Faith from Seidemann's title for the photo.
