Packaging and Artwork

Model Leilani Bishop is shown on the cover of the album, dressed in beauty pageant attire with a tiara and a bouquet of flowers, with mascara running down her eyes in tears of joy. Courtney Love stated in an interview that she "wanted to capture the look on a woman's face as she's being crowned... this sort of ecstatic, blue eyeliner running, kind of 'I am, I am—I won! I have hemorrhoid cream under my eyes and adhesive tape on my butt, and I had to scratch and claw and fuck my way up, but I won Miss Congeniality!'" The band logo introduced on the front cover of the album is thought to be modeled after the '90s Mattel Barbie logo. The crown comes from the collection of Connie Parente, a popular jewelry collector who's collections have been used by Madonna, Prince, and other major music icons.

The back cover of the album features a family photo of a young Courtney Love during her childhood in Marcola, Oregon, with the individual track listings appearing to the right, printed on embossing tape.
