Linday Lohan Should Have Posed as Lindsay Lohan

The biggest mistake is that Lindsay Lohan posed nude as Marilyn Monroe and not in the spirit of Marilyn Monroe’s “The Last Sitting.” Posing nude as young, beautiful, Muse before photographer Bert Stern would have been enough. Lindsay Lohan is no Marilyn Monroe, that’s for sure. As Mark commented, “It just draws attention to the fact that LL is not as pretty as MM and that LL’s body is not even remotely as appealing as MM’s… She should not have held herself up to such a standard. Suicide…”

For me, it is really about interpretation. The things I always loved the most about The Last Sitting is its simplicity and honesty. The makeup is minimal and there is a feeling of Summer and of simplicity, if not naivite or innocence. There is a happiness and a boldness that I don’t get from the Lohan nudes. In fact, she looks sullen and detached; she looks too edgy and worldly for this interpretation. And that fucking awful wig! And the heavy, garish, hooker makeup is really too strung out-looking for the work.

So, I think that the Lindsay Lohan, taken before the ‘transformation,” would have been a much better take. I mean, there could even be a tip-of-the-hat and an outright homage to The Last Sitting — but no. And I love Lohan! I mean, look below, at the “Related Posts!” But if you look below, you’ll see that Lindsay Lohan could well have take our breath away — here she is before she donned the cheap wig-work and makeup massacre:
