Melissa Auf der Maur: cover girl.
The Hole bassist will be able to add that title to her resume when the new issue of "Paper" hits newsstands this week.
Auf der Maur will be spotted on the cover reclining in a blue silk dress adorned with a few bits of flora.
Inside the issue, the bassist holds court on her love of photography, her band's ill-fated tour with Marilyn Manson, and how she initially shunned the chance to play with Hole. "I felt bad," Auf der Maur tells "Paper." "I've said it a million times, and it's not like anybody, but I did say no," she says of how she considered passing on Hole to stay in college and be with her boyfriend.

Auf der Maur tells the magazine that a little encouragement from Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan and Hole singer Courtney Love helped to change her mind. The story also addresses the bond between Auf der Maur and Love, who hails her bandmate as "a goddess."
You can decide how appropriate that assessment is when "Paper" hits newsstands in New York City on April 30 and in the rest of the country on May 7.
