She's specialI never see women shaped like that.
She says that like it's a bad thing.But all that money and success are so . . .American.
Well I'm confused as well. No idea if this is good or bad.The Naked Truth on the Lindsay Lohan Spread: Artist Homage to Marilyn Monroe or Bad Career Move?
The two biggest water cooler talking points bubbling up from the freckles-and-all naked Lindsay Lohan spread in New York magazine this month: 1. Ooh. Is that a good career move? And 2. Hey! They're real!
"Obviously you can see her breasts are real," Lohan's longtime publicist Leslie Sloane Zelnik tells Radar. On the first point, though, New York may have pulled a bit of a fast one. The plan to publish nudes—a monumental move in her career—was never made clear, Lohan's rep says. Photographer Bert Stern, the now 78-year-old most famous for getting Marilyn Monroe to strip on film six weeks before her overdose on barbiturates (then going ahead and publishing contact sheets Monroe had exed out with red marker), suggested a much less revealing homage for the mag. A rumor from the very closed set suggests Stern dangled the possibility that the nudes would be displayed only in a museum or as part of his book and that the tamer shots would go to New York.
Stern did not immediately return messages left via phone and e-mail. Lauren Starke, communications manager for New York tells Radar in a statement, "We're very grateful to Lindsay Lohan for participating in this historic photo shoot with Bert Stern and we hope that she is as pleased with the beautiful results as we are."
When asked what sort of career move this might be for Lohan, Howard Bragman of 15 minutes PR says that, given the chance, he would have steered Lohan away from the shoot. It isn't so much nudity as the wrong kind of attention it inspires, he says. "She needs to get back to acting. I'd rather see her do a student film at USC than take her clothes off in a look-at-me-moment. These shots run the real risk of overshadowing her acting career." (Lohan stars in Dare to Love Me, due for an '08 release.)
Even the New York story accompanying the spread, in which Lohan comes off as deliberate and smart, subtly raises a similar point, noting that when Stern shot Monroe, she had come off of some negative publicity and her sexuality had far outpaced her acting.
"For New York magazine, it's a brilliant move. For her, it's a terrible idea,"
Ronn Torossian of 5WPR tells Radar. "For the last six weeks, she hasn't been in trouble, and then she does this.... It's okay for her to not be in the news right now."
Lohan is said to be proud of the shots and thrilled to a part of the nod to one of her idols, and Zelnik points out that Lohan is a grown woman obviously making an artistic choice, "but at the end of the day," she says, "I was shocked by this." -radar
Her nipples are tiny, but I think her boobs look good. It's the shape of her body that's strange (I'm not talking about her weight!) ... everything is straight up and down -- rectangular, even -- except for her large breasts. I never see women shaped like that.
Agree. I don't know much about her, just that looking at the pictures, she looks a bit ridiculous, overdone.This would have worked if it was Lindsay as Lindsay. Not trying to be anyone else or capture their essence. She's no Marilyn - she lacks the frailty, she's no Liz (I loathed those pictures) - she lacks the sensuality.
my roommate said that even paris hilton would have been better for this shoot.

I categorically disagree with everything you said here,and just your comment makes me wonder who much do you actually know about Monroe.Because she was a true talent and a very intelligent woman who made lots of bad choices and was not dealt with good hand by faith.Marilyn was certainly (or is) an iconic woman, but she was a terrible actress and not too sharp a human -- at all, for that matter.
So perhaps this is the perfect pairing.

Her acting in Dont Bother to Knock, The Misfits, Some like it Hot.etc is absoloutely wonderful and shows she could go from heavy drama to comedy with the same range and diversity.Hollywood never gave her the chance and couldnt see past the silly money making blonde thing,but she was faar from being dumb or untalented,and yes she IS an Icon,still today.
Lindsay cant hold a candle to Marilyn let alone be comapred as perfect pairing!
Well you are entilted to your opinion.I've read a lot of Marilyn and seen her movies in an attempt to get what was so special about her. And it must've been just her appearance, because she wasn't special for her acting or brains. There is no way someone can look at this woman and say "What a smart person!" She really is like the Paris Hilton we see in the media - an airhead.

Early last week New York Magazine released a photo shoot to commemorate a famous shoot involving Marilyn Monroe that happened 46 years ago. This famous shoot was done at the Hotel Bel-Air while Monroe was supposedly drunk (which makes this new shoot all the more ironic). These photos became some of the most iconic images associated with the blonde bombshell. Six weeks after the shoot, now known as "The Last Sitting", Monroe was found dead of what many call an overdose. Now, half a century later, the same photographer, Bert Stern, found a new subject to emulate his original masterpiece. Her name is Lindsay Lohan.
Reading about this shoot has to bring most people to the foregone thought that Lindsay Lohan is an eerily appropriate choice to do the aforementioned photo shoot. It wouldn't be all that shocking to see Lohan someday succumb to the same fate Marilyn did all those years ago. Hell, I'd go as far to say that people straight up expect an early demise for Lohan. The girl lives a questionable social life all the while over shadowing her professional accomplishments, very much like Monroe.
The strange thing is, despite the similarities, most people are going to say that Monroe was leaps and bounds classier than Lohan. They'd probably go as far as to defend the original tabloid queen's questionable actions. Lindsay is not going to get that luxury because her exploits are far more publicized, which is a big difference for celebrities of this era. Celebrities have been up to some of the shame shenanigans today that they were doing years ago, but back then they didn't have the internet to spread the gossip. That is exactly why this new shoot, also titled "The Final Sitting", is probably not going to get looked upon highly by the public at large. Lindsay isn't seen as the epitome of class, so wait for the criticism from the naysayers.
Let me be one of the first to say that these photos are nothing to be scoffed at.
I'm not gonna lie, folks. Lindsay Lohan's first nude photographs are legitimately classy and quite beautiful. Yeah, it is an added bonus that you get to see her morsels for the first time, but that shouldn't detract from the artistic value of these photos. Lindsay looks damn good in them. Hell, she even looks kind of healthy. The pictures are shot quite well and the effects are just plain coot at time. However, the uncanny thing about these photos is just how similar they are to the originals. Lindsay legitimately could pass as Marilyn in a couple of them. She comes off as classy and sensuous in ways you would not expect from the troubled Hollywood starlet. Sure I have done my share of mocking Lohan, but this might be one of the few things she has done right in a long while. Should she avoid jinxing herself, she just might be able to use those to get her career back on track.
