Now, Why embarrassed me becuse it is not up to Carly's normal standard, imo. It is very boppy and mindless lyrics and commercial. Not what I wish wish her to be known for! But maybe I am just a Carly snob! The cover of The Best of is my favoruite carly cover-it is stunning.

I think that is one of her least flattering covers (though not as bad as that airbrushed close-up mess on the cover of Coming Around Again. How could she let that one slip out?). I think the cover of Greatest Hits (not live, which is nice) brings out Carly's horse-like features. It almost looks like she should have a horseshoe of roses around her neck! Personally, I think she looks like a glamorous model on the cover of Hello Big Man. I think that it is interesting if you look closely at the cover of Have You Seen Me Lately?, they have obviously retouched the photo to make her appear more slender by giving her an artificial waist. I though this was odd because I always think of Carly as bordering on anorexic, but she must have been a little heavier when that photo was taken. What are everyone else's favorite covers? I like No Secrets (with the sly No Bra look, but her hand looks wierd) and Playing Possum because it shows off her sexuality.

She looks so raw. So totally without abandon. So sensual. Also, "Boys in the Trees" has to be one of my favorite songs. It works on so many different levels. I love the fresh-faced horsey-ness of Best of, too. Another favorite is _Film Noir_ -- she just looks so . . .beautiful(although the liner pics are just awful and laughable in my opinion, but she looks like she is having fun.) I love _Hotcakes_ because she is pregnant, but she still has that gleam in her eye. And the title track my roomate and I used to annoy the piss out of my ex, Hope (we were all music majors -- I brought her to the dark side, she adores Carly now. . . :). I found _Hello Big Man_ at a used tape store. It was 99 cents, in bad shape and coverless. It is starting to go bad now. It sings along with Carly on "Orpheus". Could someone scan it and send it to me? and. . . I even kinda like the chessy pic on the back of _Another Passenger_. *giggles* Q HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! ------------------------------ End of hotcakes-digest V2 #1 ****************************
