Steely Dan Aja cover

I never 'saw' a flag....or even the hint of it....mea culpa...

A very stylish bit of photo work for an outstanding album....later, spouses' penchant for watching 'dress design competition programs on the 'screem' drove one to wish 'high fashion' designers would get into rehab....and the models gain some pounds.

...then, I walk out 'n about.....and look at the Rest of Us....

...and want it all to Go Away....*wry L-ing*

I think Nick in "The Big Chill" has the right idea.

Did you know that Phil Hartman, the comic actor from Saturday Night Live and News Radio Fame, was the graphic artist that created that cover?

The album cover was designed by Patricia Mitsui and Geoff Westen and according to Donald Fagen, Aja was the name of a Korean woman who married the brother of one of his high school friends. It's obviously the red and white trim of model Sayoko Yamaguchi's black robe.

@aewarren If it was that obvious, I wouldn't have posted this.  On the album cover, all I see is a whole lot of black.  I don't see a black robe at all.  After @theflattire posted the FB link, it is now clear to me, since I see the robe against a white background.   Didn't think this would turn into an "obvious" fiasco referring to nationalism and citing statutes.  UGgghhhhghgghhg
