The model whose bottom appears on the front sleeve of The Strokes' Is This It LP has been revealed.

A video from the model has been posted on the Goldenfiddle blog, which tells the story of how the photo came about.

She explains that the picture was taken by her ex-boyfriend, Colin Lane, after she had just finished in the shower.

"I walked out of the shower and I was completely naked. I was walking around the house - he was like, put this glove on. I walked over, boom, that was the shot," she said.

Photographer Lane claimed previously that he had "begged" his girlfriend to pose for the cover and that she had been "thrilled" when she found herself on the album cover.

The Strokes are rumoured to be planning sessions later this year to work on the follow-up to 2006's First Impressions of Earth.
