Editing She's So Unusual (section)

== Artwork ==
The front cover of ''She's So Unusual'' was photographed on Henderson Walk in [[Coney Island]], [[New York (state)|New York]] in the summer of 1983 by [[Annie Leibovitz]]. Lauper is depicted wearing a vintage red prom-style dress that she purchased at the vintage clothing shop where she used to work, Screaming Mimi's. She is also seen holding a bouquet of flowers which were purchased from a vendor on the boardwalk at the time of the shoot. Lauper has heavy costume jewelry on her ears, arms, neck and her right ankle. She is barefoot, with the exception of the [[fishnet]] stockings, and her red high-heels appear to have been taken off in front of her as they lay on their sides at the bottom of the photo. The cover shot was captured in front of the [[wax museum]], The World in Wax Musee. It can be seen behind Lauper that the museum had been closed for some time and at the time of closure was featuring a wax statue of Puerto Rican professional baseball player [[Roberto Clemente]]. The wooden [[awning]] above the doorway with the two blue panels read the name of the museum. The first panel read "The World" and second panel read "In Wax". This was airbrushed out of the photograph.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Classic Album covers : She's So Unusual – Cyndi Lauper |url=https://www.nevermindthebuspass.co.uk/classic-album-covers-shes-so-unusual-cyndi-lauper/ |access-date=2023-02-26 |website=Never Mind the Bus Pass |language=en-US}}</ref>
