The Girl On The Deftones Album, 28 Years Later

Jenkem mag did a little mini documentary tracking down the Around the Fur girl from the Deftones album cover. Half of the piece is with photographer Rick Kosick (Jackass) and designer Kevin Reagen (Maverick) but then they do track down Lisa Hughes and get her perspective on the experience! Fun to see.

I recall hearing a rumor some time ago that she had sued the band for using her image without permission and never got compensated for it. Doing the tiniest bit of digging, Reddit confirms that is BS:

For the Google impaired: Her name is Lisa Hughes. She gave permission to use the shot after Stephen called her amd asked permission. No, she did not sue the band. She is still proud of this feat. She works in healthcare.

Amusing that I'm part of the problem but happy to see that Hughes was not screwed by the band, the photo is a good memory for her and all is well. Rare to see!
