==Cover art and title==
The cover art of ''Niandra LaDes and Usually Just a T-Shirt'' is a sepia photograph of Frusciante in [[Drag (clothing)|drag]]. According to Toni Oswald, Frusciante's partner at the time of the album's making, this choice was inspired by [[Rrose Sélavy]], the feminine pseudonym of [[Marcel Duchamp]]—the French painter and writer whom Oswald and Frusciante both deeply admired. Frusciante devised the name "Niandra LaDes" as his own feminine [[alter ego]]. The phrase "Usually Just a T-Shirt" meanwhile derives from a clothes-exchanging ritual that Oswald and Frusciante often took part in when Frusciante was away on tour; after Frusciante asked what Oswald would wear with his clothes, she would reply, "Usually just a t-shirt." The phrase "To Clara" in the lower right refers to Clara Balzary, the first daughter of Flea.<ref>{{cite web | last=Karemo | first=Tuomas | date=January 10, 2018 | url=https://yle.fi/aihe/artikkeli/2018/10/01/theres-no-more-me-the-history-and-love-story-behind-john-frusciantes-niandra | title=There's no more me&nbsp;– the history and love story behind John Frusciante's Niandra LaDes | work=[[Yle.fi]] | publisher=[[Yleisradio Oy]] | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20181001145622/https://yle.fi/aihe/artikkeli/2018/10/01/theres-no-more-me-the-history-and-love-story-behind-john-frusciantes-niandra | archivedate=October 1, 2018}}</ref>
