I don't have the energy to care about this faux controversial mess.
You took the words right out of my mouth!
While I guess this is better than the tasteless p*rno I expected of a Lindsay-Terry collaboration (and certainly better than that atrocious, recent
Muse issue of hers, simply because she is at least
clothed here), I think I would've said that of just about anything, including this pretentious eh... concoction, shall we say.
I am so endlessly tired of fashion publications riding on her scandalous reputation in this way. Lindsay Lohan has managed to make the controversial mainstream and vice versa, and nowadays I would be more surprised and impressed to see her featured in such a way that
didn't in any way allude to her lifestyle or infamy. Her reputation garners her more covers than her career in any field or profession other than exposing herself, which is really kind of ironic considering how often(!) she is announced to be making some sort of a social or career comeback by the more mainstream fashion mags that choose to feature her.
I'm in fact so tired of Scandal Lohan that I can't even be bothered to consider the obvious (and silly) religious aspect of the cover. I am in no way affected by it. Perhaps slightly amused at the childishness of it all, at the mind-numbingly dumb and blatant attempt to shake us up, to cause a stir. Lindsay Lohan as the Christ? I'd laugh, if only I could be bothered. That's how unstimulated I am in every way by this cover.
I do have a slight headache now. But probably only due to my new glasses.
(As an interesting side discussion, and perhaps in Lindsay's defense(?), one might bring up the question of how this is any different from e.g. Linda Evangelista playing the "saint" and the "sinner" in the November '09 Art Issue of W, but I can't be bothered to get into that now.)
