I don't like this - but the time that's passed between reading about this in the papers and then actually seeing the cover, has meant I've imagined a far better result than this.

And it's trying to deflect the inevitable charges of emulating underage sexuality by dressing it up as an homage to 1960's style, with the beehive effect added to the pigtails, and the wording 'sweet sixties' instead of 'sweet sixteen'. I think, have the courage of your convictions if you're going to produce a provocative cover, don't bother adding in a sidestep.

This cover bores me. It's a idea executed by people who aren't as visually brave as they like to think they are.
