Bert Stern reshoots 1962 Marilyn Monroe nude photo session with Lindsay Lohan substituting
Submitted by HollywoodChicago.com on February 18, 2008 - 8:35pm.
Just in from Hollywood Elsewhere (warning: nude photos follow; mature readers only):
Legendary photographer Bert Stern has re-shot his 1962 Marilyn Monroe nude photo session with Lindsay Lohan substituting. The shots appear in the current (2.18) issue of New York. Intriguing shots — okay, alluring — but why did the session happen? Obviously because Lohan is trying to get back into it somehow. She’s trying to launch a new impression of herself that might sink in and shift attitudes.
Read the full Hollywood Elsehwhere report. In addition to the first Lohan photo above, the rest from the Stern shoot follow.

Good debate at IMDb thread
There’s good debate going on over at IMDb about this particular post (see this link). What do you think?
She Made a Mistake...
…posing using the “Marilyn” wig. The fake hair looks cheap (who was the shoot consultant? Wouldn’t you want the best hairpiece available?) and only emphasizes how copycat the attempt is. I happen to think that Lilo is a striking gal, but I think the pictures would have been better if they would have done the photo shoot as it was, but with Lins in her natural hair state (and I ain’t talking about the curtains).

I completely agree
You can even see the wig line in some of the photos. Everyone knows Lindsay Lohan is no Marilyn Monroe. I wish the photos would have been more honest and authentic to who Lohan is. You can still use the Monroe theme. Just don’t be afraid to be who you are, too. You know?
Lohan, Monroe comparison
Here’s a good Lindsay Lohan/Marilyn Monroe comparison image (source):
The Master Debate Seems Over
For a raw, unfettered communication of pure sensuality, there is no other Marilyn, as illustrated. And this is just Hank’s taste, but I would have lost Lilo’s tattoo in the Photoshop post production. Marilyn didn’t need no stinkin’ Photoshop. If she only wasn’t so sadly batsh*t crazy.
