Last week, Lindsay Lohan posed nude in order to recreate the famous photo shoot of Marilyn Monroe. The star of "Mean Girls" and "Freaky Friday" took the pictures which appear in this week's issue of New York magazine. The original photo shoot of Monroe was done in 1962 in California at Hotel Bel-Air by Bert Stern. Following in the footsteps of the legend, Lohan posed in see through scarves and jewelry. Stern stated that Lohan was "a natural, not at all squeemish." Lohan obviously couldn't pass up an opportunity to recreate such magic! Opportunities like that do not come around everyday. A follow up article about Lohan's mother, Dina says, "She's always loved Marilyn," Dina said. "For Christmas, my girlfriends even gave her a Marilyn cookie jar. I think there's a sadness that Lindsay feels for Marilyn. Lindsay really saw it as a gift back to someone."
Lindsay admitted to the industry ultimately destroying a celebrity after mention of her ins and outs of rehab for cocaine and alcohol last year.
While barbituates were the cause of death for Monroe just weeks after the famous shoot seems kind of ironic for Lohan to recreate. With both Lohan and Monroe being into alcohol, Stern said that Lohan didn't have any on the set.
I have not seen anything about this until now, nor have I heard anyone talking about it. I believe the media covered it very professionally. Her mother's acceptance of the shoot was very mature as well. Once the word really hits the streets, I think the issues will be selling out quickly. With this type of story, the more publicity the shoot gets, the more negative it appears. I am glad the story was handled this way.
While the first nude shoot was innocent enough and even an honor to do, do you believe that this will open the doors for Lohan to do more nude work?
After this, for some reason I can just picture Lohan doing sex tapes because she is still young. The first taste of the "adult business" might steer her in the wrong direction. She is already following the celebrity pattern of drugs, alcohol, and rehab. The next step is sex tapes, just like many others.
It was mentioned that the shoot was tasteful, do you believe that it will win any awards?
I believe that it is possible, especially with the history of the photo shoot.

Hopefully Lohan can straighten herself out before she follows all the way down Monroe's past. As for the photos, they don't seem tasteless but rather very classic, NY Mag should be extremely happy with the sales these generate for them. Very classic and well done to honor one of the greats.
I'd rather remain and optimistic with Lohan, it looks like she did a mature and tasteful first nude scene. So, lets try not to play jump-to-conclusions with how well someone is going to do in life. And just try to allow them to live it on their own accord.
It is always something with Lohan. I think that the history of this photo shoot is very ironic. I think that no matter what doors are opened for Lohan, she will continue to do whatever it is that she pleases. I have not heard about this till now which is surprising. It seems as though if you have heard one story with her you have heard them all. I can not say that anything that she does surpises me anymore. I used to think she was so innoscent when she played in the hit It Takes Two, but looks can be deceiving and she is an actress.
