[edit] Controversy

Louis XIV faced controversy when their music was featured as the "lesbian theme" on the Fox television show the O.C. According to producer Josh Shwartz, the writers felt the band's music was a perfect way to frame the relationship of Alex and Marissa in any instance where they were seen kissing each other (taken from the DVD commentary of the episode "Rainy Day Women", Season 2).

The music video for "Paper Doll", off of the album The Best Little Secrets Are Kept was released exclusively on the alt-porn website Suicide Girls ([1]). The video, featuring various models in different stages of undress, was directed by alt-porn pioneer Eon McKai, director of Art School Sluts, the Kill Girl Kill series, and Neu Wave Hookers.
