That first picture made me so uncomfortable.

This is just...vile.

It's just sad that Lohan would agree to be part of this 'concept'. Clearly, she has no sense of dignity.

At least in Terry Richardsons pictures, the women are objectified but are portrayed as powerful and in control. This editorial however fails to pull this Richardson tongue-in-cheek aesthetic off and Lohan is left objectified and humiliated (at least from my own point of view).

What do you think? Does this shoot work in Lohan's favour or does it objectify her?

Well, a few pages back, it was apparently "art" supported by someone quoting something from the Bible - which is always a good sign when it comes to a magazine editorial, I think.

That's actually a good point you make there. I've never really given Terry's photos much further thought since I don't particularly like the "thematic references" in many of his shoots, but now that you mention it, you're absolutely right.

This ed, however, is not only vulgar, it is pointlessly vulgar, save as a tragic reflection of Lohan as the person she is (which I'm not sure was the point they wanted to make). The fact that she signed on to do this already speaks volumes, imho, and it feels like a shameless exploitation of her "promiscuous" character, really. Actually, this ed says just as much about Lohan as it does of the future of Muse (if there is such -- I could see this ed ruining the magazine for a lot of people, as it has for myself).

Am I the only one more than a little discomforted by what's going on in the photo in #79? This does not belong in a fashion magazine.

"Fashionart?" Psh. "Fashiontrash" more like it.

I don't think terry richardson's work is above this pictures, Lindsay is a woman and she seems to be very much in control of the images, it's a bit like Madonna in her SEX photos, she seems in control in the photos, whereas terry richardson is just a pervert. His pictures are lascivious and p*rn*gr*ph*c and it shocks me that he is celebrated. To me his work is just shock for shock's sake, at least there is LIGHTING TECHNIQUE in Lindsay's spread as opposed to a flat in your face, unregulated light like in terry's.

I don't think it objectifies her, I personally love the shoot.

LINDSAY IS A GODDAMN GENIUS! I love this. I don't care what anyone else says about how it's gross and nasty because if it were a model they would think it's ok and "powerful." I cannot wait to buy this and I can't wait to see her in or on the cover of Purple. Such an upgrade from the last issue!!

1. kate moss never did a threesome photoshoot. when she shot with johnny depp on the bed (by annie liebovitz) she was naked and he was fully clothed. it looked gorgeous, not trashy.
2. lindsay's ed looks a lot like ana claudia michels' photo shoot as savannah, the p*rn star. if i remember correctly, michels career stalled for about 7 years after that.
3. conclusion: we will never see lindsay again. thank you jebus.

I admit it got me interested in her again for about as long as it took to view the pictures, but I don't think it's going to help her movie career any. Unless she's looking to move into p*rn anyway.

I liked the shoot Johnny & Kate did back in the day. I do not like this.

The magazine or photographer never mentioned them recreating that shoot. So I don't know why you're even comparing the two shoots

3. conclusion: we will never see lindsay again. thank you jebus.

I think this issue just proves her relevancy and how we're going to see A LOT more of her

Genius is not the word i would use to describe Lindsay , considering what her life has been like for the past couple of years...

What exactly is genius about her getting photographed looking trashy, wasted, haggered and completely unattractive ....

 

[Cosabella]

Trashy. If Lindsay wants to improve her image, this isn't going to do it.

I'd rather be a working actress than a fodder for the tabloids. To each his own, I guess.

Genius is the word I use to describe Lindsay. The same way people love Gisele and the Obamas and love when they have covers... I absolutely HATE them all but many people love them. I love Lindsay and love her on covers. I think she produces some of the best images and, for me personally, some of the most iconic images I have ever seen. I know she hasn't been the sanest person in her past few years but photogenically, she's amazing.

Ha. I love you Lindsay isn't going anywhere anytime soon... As a matter of fact, she will soon be in Purple, so she really isn't going anywhere

^Oh you're SO funny. Michael and Lindsay don't even get along.
