-According to Julie Kramer[http://www.bdcwire.com/an-oral-history-of-the-period-weezers-rivers-cuomo-spent-in-cambridge-while-attending-harvard/], a photographer who was friends with Cuomo during the time, the planned retail single for Pink Triangle would have featured a photo of Cuomo in drag as the cover. Though the single never materialized, some of the photos have appeared on Kramer's website, as well as in the liner notes for [[Alone]], [[Alone II]], and [[The Pinkerton Diaries]].
+Julie Kramer, later a DJ for the radio station WFNX in Boston, shot the photos intended for a "Pink Triangle" single.
+{{Quote box||We used to hang out. [[Rivers]] was a big ‘FNX fan. We would just do really creative things. I was into photography. When ''[[Pinkerton]]'' came out, when they released "Pink Triangle" as a single, he wanted the single photo to be of him in drag. So we would dress him up in lingerie and wigs. We had a ball. He brought the photos to the record company, but they wouldn’t do it. It’s funny, I gave him copies of all the photos and years later someone in his camp reached out to me and said, “We wanna use those photos you have of Rivers for [[Alone II|his solo album]]” or whatever. But the funny thing was he saved them all! I was like, ‘oh man do I have track down all these photos, go through these negatives?’ but ''he'' had saved them all! We used to have a lot of fun just being really silly.”|Julie Kramer|<ref name="BDCWire">"An Oral History of the Period Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo Spent in Cambridge While Attending Harvard" by Ryan Walsh, published 10.23.2014.
