THE sexy nurse trope is hardly original but this stunning porn star's take on the theme is the thing of punk rock legend.
Blink 182's 1999 hit album Enema of the State was one of the decade's most recognisable pieces of cover art.

The American punk group, renowned for their fart gags, pop parodies and power chords, drafted in Janine Lindemulder, 55, to take centre stage on their second LP.
The adult actress - whose work the band were not aware of at the time of her casting - wore a white hat adorned with a red cross, a white shirt left open to tease her red bra, and knowingly pulled her hand into a blue latex glove as her heavily made-up face smiled at the camera.
On the back cover, band members Tom DeLonge, Travis Barker and Mark Hoppus stood nervously in front of her wearing nothing but boxer shorts.
Between the imagery and the album title, subtlety went out of the window.
Originally, the album was due to be called Turn Around and Cough, which photographer David Goldman said inspired the now legendary images.
Unsurprisingly, there was controversy around picture. The Red Cross demanded the band remove the emblem from Janine's hat as it broke the Geneva Convention. It was subsequently changed to the letter B.
The album was a huge success, selling over 15 million copies worldwide and catapulting the band to the big leagues.
Singles What's My Age Again?, All The Small Things and Adam's Song received heavy radio play and are synonymous with the era to this day.
After the album's release, mum-of-two Janine's life took a very different turn, temporarily at least.
She quit the porn industry the same year to become a primary school teacher.
Despite distancing herself from blue movies, she was inducted into the industry's hall of fame in 2022.
And two years after that, the lure of a big money industry return proved too and she mounted a comeback, performing with men for the first time in her porn career.
Janine's comeback coincided with her divorce from West Coast Choppers star Jesse James, who would later marry A-list actress Sandra Bullock.
That short-lived marriage wasn't her first celebrity romance. She famously featured in a homemade sex tape with Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil in 1998.
James and Janine found themselves locked in a bitter custody battle in 2009 after she was released from prison having served six months for a $300k tax evasion.
Despite knowing she owed the huge sum, she splashed out more than $600k on a new home and two cars instead of paying back the debt.
James was granted custody of their daughter Sunny, then five, while Janine was locked up.
Following her release, she unsuccessfully challenged the arrangement, which saw her receive weekly visitation rights.
At the time, James and Bullock argued Janine wasn't always in the right condition to look after Sunny, and they found themselves on 'high alert'.
Janine argued that her drug use was a thing of the past and told ABC News: "Sandy doesn't know what goes on in my house. I'd love for her to. Please come over, you know, I'll make dinner, you know, let's sit down, [as] two women."
James divorced Bullock in 2010 and has since married twice more. The dad-of-four most recently tied the knot to porn actress and fifth wife Bonnie Rotten in 2022.
While Janine divorced her third husband, Jeremy Aikman, in 2010 after just one year together.
She became an early adopter of OnlyFans, putting out her own content in 2017. She still releases sexy online content to this day, stripping down to her underwear for a monthly subscription of $9.99.
