Katy Perry - Teenage Dream (click to enlarge)
There are no wigs and no drama — and no clothes — on the album cover for Katy Perry‘s sophomore album, Teenage Dream. Instead, the cover is all about the art.
Painted by artist Will Cotton, Perry appears nude on top of a cotton candy cloud –much like she does in the video for the album’s lead single, “California Gurls.”
The painting is all you get when you buy the album. Katy says there will be no words added to it. No name and no album title. There will, however, be the delightful (or gagalicious) scent of cotton candy on the pages of the booklet.
Perry made the big reveal on Ustream today (July 21), and said that just in case CDs are extinct soon, she wanted to go out with a bang.
Teenage Dream is in stores August 24.
you look like sweet cotton candy
