She’s done the DUI thing. She’s done the rehab thing. Now, Lindsay Lohan is mounting her comeback by posing completely nude — as Marilyn Monroe — in New York Magazine. The photos are meant to re-create Monroe’s famous 1962 shoot, shot by Bert Stone, called The Last Sitting. Says NY Mag: “But the pictures are also remarkable for the raw truths they seem to reveal. In them, we see an actress whose comedic talents were overshadowed by her sex appeal, a woman who is cannily aware of her pinup status, yet is also beginning to show her 36 years. In many shots, she is obviously drunk. This was an unhappy time for Monroe.”
On why she wanted to pose for the fairly scandalous (and provocative) photos, Lohan said, “I didn’t have to put much thought into it. I mean, Bert Stone? Doing a Marilyn Monroe shoot? When is that ever going to come up.” There are 10 photos in the batch — most of which feature Lohan semi-nude, or nude from the waist up, draping herself in some sort of fabric. You can check out the entire gallery over here — though keep in mind (for those at work or in front of kids), she is definitely nekked in a few of the photos. What do you think about this one? Do you see Monroe in Lohan?
