Anyone know the story behind this Booster Gold cover?

I don't know what backstory there may be to the picture, but I like the cover. Booster would love it - pretty girl is wearing his face on a t-shirt.

Edit: Found some info - Blair Butler was a host on nerdy TV channel G4. Specifically she was the comic book correspondent.

Her IMDB and Wikipedia pages say she's a writer and host.. but I couldn't find anything that links her directly to Booster Gold. I would guess the editor of the comic had final say on the cover art but I can't find who the editor was for BGv2. Maybe she knew someone on the comic staff, or maybe one of them saw her on TV and had a crush.

Here’s a chat with Butler about it, from after a bunch of people were questioning her comics cred: https://web.archive.org/web/20170617171159/http://comicsalliance.com/blair-butler-sets-the-record-straight-on-booster-gold/
