Lindsay Lohan’s Marilyn Monroe Knockoff Photos
Lindsay Lohan’s “Marilyn Monroe” photoshoot for New York magazine is getting a lot of buzz. The photographer was Bert Stern who took nude photos of Marilyn Monroe in 1962 just weeks before she died of a drug overdose - these photos of Lindsay are modeled after the 1962 shoot.
Lindsay idolizes Marilyn and even bought Marilyn’s house in LA. There are some obvious parallels between the two: both have had substance abuse problems, both have been criticized for bad behavior on the set, and both are more known for their looks than their acting ability. Lindsay is looking pretty voluptuous in these nude photos…check out New York magazine for more. Lindsay looks great in these pictures but give me a break, she’s no Marilyn Monroe.
Any thoughts?

I am a longtime Marilyn fan and if memory serves, she was so unhappy with those photos she took a pair of scissors to all the ones to which she had access. It makes me wonder if LiLo knows anything about her as a person or if she is just another one attracted to the image of Marilyn Monroe.
Regardless, I have to agree that LiLo is no Marilyn. There is none of the innocence, none of the sweetness or vulnerability in her that was in Marilyn. She never looked like a tart, no matter what she was (or was not) wearing. I honestly can’t remember the last time I saw LiLo NOT looking like a tart.
And people need to remember that Marilyn’s mother was institutionalized, something Marilyn feared would happen to her one day. Her substance abuse was her attempt at self-medicating. The only mental problem LiLo appears to suffer from is lack of common sense.
Sorry to rant, but I’m pretty fed up with having so-called “stars” like LiLo and her ilk shoved down my throat. Oh for the days of real stars, like the ones my grandparents had.
