Lindsay Lohan Nude in New York Magazine



Lindsay Lohan Nude In Marilyn Monroe Style
When approached with the opportunity to portray the late Marilyn Monroe in a Bert Stern photoshoot for New York Magazine, Lindsay Lohan was not one to hesitate.

She said of the proposition, “I didn’t have to put much thought into it. I mean, Bert Stern? Doing a Marilyn shoot? When is that ever going to come up? It’s really an honor.”

Lindsay portrays the glamour model during a series of photographs shot by Bert Stern just six weeks before Marilyn’s alleged overdose.

Ha! Lohan as Marilyn Monroe is a complete laugh. The shoot is NOT sexy and the girl is looking beat. Even her exposed breasts can’t save this shoot.






Lindsay Lohan has publicly exposed her body for the first time (except for, um, that chest-'n'-cooter flashing phase) in a New York magazine remake of Marilyn Monroe's infamous photo series, "The Last Sitting." Photographer Bert Stern re-created the iconic photos he took 46 years ago during three booze-filled days at the Hotel Bel-Air. Things were slightly different this time: The one-on-one intimacy of the original shoot was updated with a protective Hollywood entourage; Monroe's airy locks were poorly duplicated by a straw-blond wig; and, presumably, the 78-year-old didn't have designs to sleep with his muse this time around. Some things, though, remained the same: Lohan playfully and seductively rolls amid white sheets and exposes her breasts again and again (and again!) behind a series of sheer scarves.




But Lindsay gives us something even better -- when rock-bottom Lindsay Lohan gets nude she prefers a see-through sheet, and doesn't mind throwing in a couple of clear view topless photos.

Lohan says when it came to being nude before the camera: "I was comfortable with it", though she does confess to having done "250 crunches" the night before the shoot. You can take a look at more photos at New York Magazine.



Regardless, she appears dramatic doing it. Ms. Lohan looks narrow-hipped and voluptuous in the pictures, taut and soft. At 21 she seems even older than Monroe, who was 36 in the originals, and hardened by her excesses. The photographs bear none of Monroe’s fragility. In the first picture — Ms. Lohan wears a platinum wig and false eyelashes for all the images, by the way — she drapes the pink chiffon across her torso diagonally, and if she looks like anyone at all, it is Madonna. Monroe looked available in her Stern photos; Ms. Lohan looks available for sale.

Ms. Lohan has spoken freely about her obsession with Monroe over the years, but it is Madonna’s strategy of managing the image of her own sexuality that perhaps Ms. Lohan hopes to reproduce. There is a chance this approach could work for her if she is willing to offer the world more than her bust line. And if, in her recreational hours, she is prepared to turn simply to yoga.
