   I don't know if you've noticed that but one of the reviewers gives a link to a site dedicated to a photo session Frank Zappa made for Hustler magazine concerning his Thing-Fish album. Below is the review with the link bolded:

ZAPPA, FRANK — Thing-Fish

Review by Slartibartfast (Brian S. Lindsey) 

 This was one of my first CDs as well as one my first Zappa album on CD. I got it shortly after it was released and parts still crack me up when comes up in rotation in my collection. It probably stands as one of Frank’s most offensive albums ever released. He even did a Celebrity Photo-Fantasy for Hustler magazine. I saw the hard copy and you can see it online. "Search for Thing Fish Hustler Info" or go to home.online.no/~corneliu/thingfish2.html. Don’t worry, it’s R rated material. The quality of the scans are a little poor though.

This one’s actually a concept album that is a parody of a Broadway show. Most of the songs are retreads from previous albums. Ike Willis provides vocals and narration in an Amos ‘n’ Andy style voice. One funniest lines is from what I think an original song for this album, HE’S SO GAY, “Of course, his evening’s not complete without some meat in the seat”.

This one will probably give you a deeper insight into the twisted mind that is Frank Zappa than many can handle. Of course there’s always The Real Frank Zappa Book (1989) written by Zappa himself.
