After seeing Florence's initial album, which for awhile appeared to be the only one she would ever issue, and after reading about her life, I had the idea that Florence had led a bit of a sheltered life and was one of the Innocents. When I saw her second album cover six or seven years later, it was a bit of a surprise to see this sweet innocent child in a teddy sleeper, but I thought, what the heck, she's coming out. The following year, she released another album, but I didn't have it until some years later. The cover shows her in white ballerina costume, without slippers, very tastefully done, poised in an upright position, knee on a chair, other leg obliqued with foot resting on the floor. The back was a bit of a surprise, with her lower back/bottom on the chair and legs together straight up, her head thrown back in a frolicking posture, mouth open in what appears to be a laugh. That's a bit strange, I thought, and unlike that first innocent pose from the mid-seventies, but I didn't give it much more thought.

Someone posted on the Ever On forum that either Florence was being exploited or was exploiting herself, not sure which, by these poses, on the two eighties albums, with at least a hint that the exploitation was done for the purpose of selling records. I am not a member of Ever On, so I can't post a response, but good lord I never had that idea about the woman. The rest of you who have seen the album art, did you get that idea too?

Just wondering.
