FUR ![]()
I have presented most of the photos from the album insert in this post. There is another on the CD itself, a negative photograph of Holly Ramos playfully positioning her crotch above the hole. Once I saw the pose, it seemed like an obvious thing for a woman to do on an album, but I have never seen it done before or since.
This photo is not at all pornographic – Holly Ramos is clearly clothed. However, it makes me think that the band name Fur is meant to be a sexual reference. The 2nd solo album by Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Go’s is called Fur (1988); she is pictured on the cover holding a rabbit (a fertility symbol from time immemorial), so Wiedlin probably intended the same, even though Jane Wiedlin is well known as an animal rights activist.
