Blink-182’s 1999 smash hit Enema of the State isn’t just famous for its catchy anthems like ‘What’s My Age Again?’ and the eternally playlist-worthy ‘All the Small Things’ — it’s legendary for that striking album cover, too. You know, the one with the nurse in the scandalously revealing outfit, rocking bright blue eyeshadow and red lipstick like the ‘90s punk rock muse she was. But here’s a wild thought: while this image is etched into music history, most fans have no clue what happened to the woman behind the look — former adult film star Janine Lindemulder. Now, as Mercury dances through curious Gemini, isn’t it the perfect cosmic nudge to dig deeper into the story of art meeting fame, transformation, and a path far from the spotlight? Trust me, you’re gonna want to see where she’s landed 26 years after turning the punk scene upside down. LEARN MORE.
Blink-182 fans will be familiar with the woman on the cover of the band’s Enema of the State album, but not many will be aware of her whereabouts now.
The 1999 record is the band’s most successful, 26 years on, having gone five times platinum in the US, selling 15 million copies around the world.
With songs such as ‘What’s My Age Again?’ and ‘All the Small Things’, which still get some head thrashes from listeners today, there’s no surprise.
But as iconic as the tunes and members like Travis Barker are, Blink-182’s breakout album is also known for its iconic record art.
On the cover is a woman dressed in a rather revealing nurse outfit, showing off a red bra underneath her uniform.
She’s sporting bright blue eyeshadow, striking red lipstick, and is putting a blue latex glove on in what is one of the most iconic rock album covers of the 1990s.

Released in 1999, the woman on the cover is none other than former adult film star Janine Lindemulder, who was in the industry at the time.
Her butterfly tattoos can be seen on the cover, as well as her bright blonde hair, while the back of the record showed members Travis Barker, Mark Hoppus and Toom DeLonge standing before the model in their boxers.
26 years on from the release of the album, Lindemulder looks different, now sporting dark hair and several more tattoos, while she has undertaken a new career path.

Sharing aspects of her life on social media to her tens of thousands of fans, the former pornographic actress also promotes her OnlyFans page, which she started in 2017.
Subscribing to her page will set you back around $10 (£7.35) a month, as her bio on the 18+ site reads: “Penthouse Pet ’87, Vivid girl, AVN Hall of Fame, Blink-182 cover model, multiple award winner including Best G/G and B/G.”
While she was inducted into the Adult Video News Hall of Fame in 2002, she had actually retired from the industry three years prior, citing her intention to become a kindergarten teacher.
But by 2004, she backtracked and rejoined the industry, making several films with a number of different porn studios.

Enema of the State was originally meant to be called Turn Around and Cough, before it went on to sell over five million units in the US alone.
The photographer behind it, David Goldman, said that the hospital concept was key to what the band wanted to achieve with the album’s appearance.
In the years since the album cover, Lindemulder served six months behind bars after failing to pay $300,000 in taxes in 2008.
She also married West Coast Choppers founder Jesse James in 2002, had a daughter with him, and divorced in 2004.
But in the past decade or so, it’s fair to say that the mother-of-two is leading a more low-key lifestyle.
