Cover art for Loretta Young Silks lyrics by Sneaker Pimps

Loretta Young's cameraman created a technique to soften and enhance her image by placing silk stockings over the camera lens. The resulting image of Loretta was much softer and idealized. Also, Loretta was a symbol of vanity and decadence in her time, known for her elaborate clothes and make-up. Loretta Young represents an impossible, idealized image. In the context of the song she represents the vanity, shallowness, and obsession with perfection that a girl has.

Or at least thats my opinion. =)
