I thought it would be fun to analyze the symbolization behind each of Stevie's album covers. I will list them all below. Copy and paste them to add/change anything as we go along. If someone writes something that you think is not correct, feel free to change it, but just state the changes at the bottom of the page. I'll start...

Bella Donna -

The Wild Heart -

Rock A Little -

The Other Side of the Mirror -

Timespace -

Street Angel -

Enchanted -

Trouble in Shangri-La - Symbolizes Stevie escaping the "Trouble in Shangri-La" and shows Stevie's bold return to critical acclaim.

Crystal Visions -

The Wild Heart - Based on a Sulamith Wulfing painting - the THREE Stevies, power of THREE, THREE is Stevie's special, magic, lucky number.

The Other Side of the Mirror - Alice in Wonderland. Duh.

Enchanted - Rock a little all the time, from the cradle to the grave.

Bella Donna - based on something she saw in a dream. herself as a stick figure in white with a blue light around her.

I also heard direct from Mr. Worthington that the 3 Stevie's mean something. The one where she's sitting represents, the eternal little girl that Stevie is, the one standing with hands on chest is the proud, strong, successful Stevie, and if I remember correctly, the phantom image represents her friend Robin.
I'm a little fuzzy on the last one, but I think that's right.

The Wild Heart is my favorite album cover from her solo work with Rock-A-Little following close behind.

I heard Stevie once say the back cover of BD with her looking through the tambourine, she was like "looking out of a port hole of a boat onto the sorrows of the world" and she made some kind of reference to the "come in out of the darkness" lyric that is written on the back.

Stevie - the (drama) queen of rock and roll

gotta love her.

Rock A Little - One of 2 options. 1 - Trying to show Stevie's energy, 2 - Some random Sh!t that coked-up Stevie thought would look good.

Bella Donna - I had a dream. I was hot, wearing hair thingies, and this is my brother's bird. Oh, put a cool thing in the corner.

The Wild Heart - Someone died, I grieved, now I'm stricken and noble.

Rock A Little - I'm spinning. Pull back the camera. I don't wanna look fat. Quick, put in a purple crystal ball. I like that cool corner thing concept.

The Other Side of the Mirror - Dig this wacked out yoga position. And the cool watercolor airbrush effect. I almost look like a creepy doll. I didn't know my elbows were double jointed before.

Timespace - Don't take my blue tablecloth away and don't you dare touch my wig. Or I'll pout.

Street Angel - OMG. What is that behind me on the floor? Shit, I dropped my career. For God's sake someone pick it up! Soft focus this thing. Softer! Shoot it through a Navajo blanket if you have to!

Enchanted - My brother picked up a feather off the floor and discovered Adobe Type Manager. Cool, huh?

Trouble in Shangri-La - My view is awesome. And damn, this skirt so doesn't make my butt look big. Karen, keep that fan on high. High, dammit!

Crystal Visions -I was so hot and pouty in 1979 I can hardly stand it.
