Alice in Chains released their second album “Dirt” on September 29th 1992. The cover featured an eerie image of a girl half buried in the desert dirt by photographer Rocky Schneck.
It is assumed by most Alice in Chains fans that the model used for the album cover was Layne Staley’s girlfriend Demri Parrott.
Although she looks like Demri, the actual model used for the album cover is model/actress Mariah O’Brien
In 1992 Mariah also appeared on the cover of Spinal Tap's Bitch School single..
Schneck recalled:
“Everyone always asks if that is Demri Parrott on the “Dirt” Cover. I think Demri’s name might have been mentioned as a possible model once or twice, but it was never a serious consideration.”
Schenck was familiar with O’Brien as he had previously used her as a model for the Spinal Tap single cover of “Bitch School“.
