The best Lolita cover has a photograph of a little girl on it. Also I would suggest that a good choice for a Lolita cover would be a Balthus painting; one of the portraits of Therese. I am currently writing a work of pedophilic fiction, I think the aesthetic of little girls is very important. OP, your cover is shite.
