Lindsay does her best Marilyn

i find the rearrangements distasteful and lindsay not sexy. instead of rather interpreting or reviving an icons image, shes just a cheap (and although sometimes cute, not even goodlooking here) copy..dont think she thought about marilyns circumstances of the shoot too much, when she agreed too.

Not to be one to pooh-pooh ladies taking their clothes off, but it seems somehow less prolific than the originals.  Too light, too bright, too thin.  Marilyn Monroe was troubled and tormented in ways that women can't really be in this day and age, and as much as I adore Lindsay Lohan, she's too young , too narrow hipped (!) to pull this off.  Give it a couple more years Linds, till you've seen life and all the horribly wonderfull things its capable of.  You'll be perfect for it then.

I checked out the set and I have to say that it kind of seemed like a good idea but then...it wasn't. Whereas I've always loved Lindsey Lohan for her aesthetic beauty (except around the time where the whole world thought she needed a biscuit) and was never enthralled when it came down to Marilyn Monroe (haha I'd originally typed Manson), there was something a little unsettling about Lohan's shots. To me, they seemed almost tragic. I had no problem with the nudity or the poses. However, her make-up seemed...drag queen-ish and she looked as if she hasn't slept for weeks. Maybe it was supposed to be one big ironic project. If not...then I don't really know what else to say. If I'd never met and didn't know a thing about either of them and I saw their photos side by side and was asked, "Which one, of these, will have this be their last photo session before succumbing to an overdose?" I would've picked the wrong one.

 

Even though I used to think she's cute (a couple years ago, when she did such films as Freaky Friday and her hair was still red), now I do not think she's that attractive. But I have to agree that her weight is a lot better now, I vaguely remember her being way too thin. Think Olson-twin-thin.(Wow try and say that ten times in a row :p)

But these pictures? I can't see past the super-blonde hair which, quite frankly, I don't think suits her at all. It's that hair that ruins the pictures for me.

Poor Marilyn.

Put your clothes back on Linds.

I agree with the poster above who said that it's distasteful and not sexy.  I feel like it's a cheap way to get some publicity.

Put it away, Lindsay.

So what do you think? Classy tribute? Eerie foreshadowing? Or just yay, naked ladies?

Are those my options? Well, if I have to choose I'd go for Yay, naked ladies

I don't really find the photo's of Lindsay very appealing. And they certainly don't compare to Ms. Monroe's.

 Lindsey looks bad.

 

~Not lost, Just Undiscovered~

I personally am not a big fan of recreating a last films of photo's of great classic icon's like Marilyn Monroe, pesrsonally I think it does show respect or tribute to them, specially in this case this are photo's that mean something its not just a picture of a beautiful woman, but her last phot shoot that she made and was her ltes say last horrah.  Linds though I think has more skeleton's in her closet that we have not yet seen and will be seeing in the future, it seems she has an understanding with marilyn and Heath that we don't quite know, and even though she is 21 that makes it even more defistating. Lets just hope she fights of whatever demond she has so she can really be known for sometihng, not just the scandol queen that she has become 

I don't like it.

It just doesn't work on so many levels, it's absolutely nothing to do with 'yay naked ladies' at all...especially if aforesaid naked lady is a spoilt wild child with the screen presence of Marilyn Monroe's little toe.

I've never been a Marilyn fan but I'm thinking back to when Jennifer Love Hewitt made the Tv movie of Audrey Hepburn's life and I'm managing to feel the necessary level of outrage.

And that's all i have to say..

Lindsay's pretty and all, but she looks a bit trashy...

-Quiero verte, tenerte, y besarte, y entregarte todo mi corazon!-

Those pictures do not do justice to Marilyn Monroe. It looks bad and why is Lindsay even in a magazine now? She isn't doing anything, no movie coming out or album?

I've never understood the Marilyn worship. Linds looks great, especially on the cover shot. For some reason Linds is one of those folks who people just love to hate on, and I don't get that either.

i have a slight obessesion with marilyn, too and in the originals she looks stunning, ethereal, and earthy. lindsay and that horrible wig just look cheap. and like shygurl99 said what is she doing naked in a magazine if she's not promoting something? i mean is this girl not courting the publicity and paparazzi demons that hounded her into rehab? its seems like she'll do anything to get attention for absolutely no reason. its pathetic.

Why is she doing this,--for the money??? To revive her career? She was much cuter with her natural red hair...

I think Paris Hilton would have been a better choice for this "Marilyn" re-creation...

 

 

i'm sorry but i don't find L. Lohan attractive AT ALL. This whole photo shoot looks and feels wrong on so many different levels. I don't think it's worth the time to even compare the talentless miss lohan to marilyn monroe. ugh.

"Classy tribute? Eerie foreshadowing? Or just yay, naked ladies?

Yay, naked Marilyn, more like.

It irritates me. I like Marilyn a whole lot. Very few people are as photogenic, luminous, and mesmerizing as Marilyn was. Lohan is a poor copy in this photo shoot - and it's largely the photographer's fault. Bad idea.

I can never understand people's need to "recreate" things. It just cheapens the originals. And, I must say, Lindsey is not looking well at all. It's not often you see such a poignant example of someone so young with such old, tired eyes.

Geez!!! I always thought she was a bit attractive...but...these pictures...they're just absolute garbage. And I agree with what mostly everyone has said.

Not in that she does not look like Marilyn (although she doesn't) but she just has a really disturbing expression.

If she reminds me, in terms of appearance, of any older movie star, I think her eyes are a bit like Liz Taylor's.

She just seems to be a bit of the tracks, still.  Sad.

I'm glad to see that most agree w/my initial thoughts - Lohan doesn't hold a candle to Marilyn. She's trying too hard and doesn't come close to the original.

"Change."

But I will admit that she is a physically attractive young woman. However, these photos look like the worst drag-queen I have ever seen. Maybe it's her expressions- my first impression was that someone had drugged her, or she hadn't slept in a week. It creates this effect, almost like she's dead and someone's playing with her corpse. Troubling.

On a further note, to me there's something really depressing about how obvious her plastic surgery is (on her breasts). It's like the idea of a little girl playing grown-up by smearing lipstick all over her face and standing in a pair of her mother's high-heels which are three times the size of her feet. Except there's nothing remotely cute about it.

Total impression: None of the glamour of the original, but all of the tragedy.

Lindsay is totally not sexy.  I think Scarlett Johansson would of been perfect for this shoot.  What was Bert Stern was thinking?

She's always going to be the little ginger kid from parent trap . . .

That Sam Ronson is one lucky queer:p

Although I applaud her willingness to pose, Lindsay Lohan isn't as pretty as Marilyn Monroe. It's a little sad to see her have to imitate. She looks worn-out.

i like lindsay... but those pictures do not compare to marilyn.. actually they look tacky and very poorly done.

Lookin at Ms. MOnroe... it's a cryin shame

I think these pix make her look pretty bad.
