I never realized how freckled she was, but then most of her promo shots are heavily air-brushed. ---

She’s cute and all, and they did a good job of mimicking some of Monroe’s shots, but no, she isn’t Marilyn Monroe. There are reasons why Marilyn Monroe became the icon that she is (and was even before her death). No one else is quite like her, nor ever will be. Not Anna Nicole, not Lindsay Lohan, not nobody! Probably the closest to her today would be Angelina Jolie or Nicole Kidman (were she to go the blatant sexpot route), but even they lack that certain something that set Monroe apart. ---

Lohan looks older in those shots than Monroe did, with 10+ years on Lindsay. And Monroe was not exactly a clean livin’ girl. ---

Great cans. And that is absofuckinlutely _all_ this shoot has to recommend it. It would have been far more tasteful of Lindsay to just do some straight nudie stuff and not attempt to crawl into the skin of a dead goddess. LL ≠ MM. ---

I can see nothing wrong with those cans. It’s been a while since I’ve seen the MM pics, but IIRC she had kind of an unsightly scar from gall bladder surgery, and she looked kind of bleary-eyed and tired in some of the shots, so they weren’t MM at her best. Lindsey Lohan looks just fine in those pictures, IMO. ---

Lohan has no hips (or no waist) and those boobs are too big and droopy. And there’s no light in her eyes, no sparkle. Monroe sometimes looked tired, but never **that** tired. ---

There’s nothing wrong with her body, but if you compare her to the photos of MM in the second slide, I think you’ll see it’s her “attitude.” Marilyn has a sexy, fun loving look on her face, the way she holds her body up, there’s energy. In Lindsey’s photos, she looks tired, no smile, no sexy look and her shoulders are slumped (compare slide 4 to the similar photo in slide 2.) Plus I think her makeup artist did a hack job on her. ---

Why did she do this, exactly? Anyone know? I mean, I know she has seen more rehabs than most people have seen Popes, but New York Magazine? What the hell is that anyway? I’m sure Maxim/Playboy/some dumb artie weirdo could have taken way, way better pictures. Sure, she’s nude, but I want to punch whoever made those rose ones especially. Look at me, I can filter! All I’m saying is that if you want to officially destroy any semblance of a career you might have once had, atleast do it with some taste. ---

[/QUOTE] Her film career’s in the crapper, and she’s not being paid movie film bucks these days. She needs to keep herself in the public eye. Being talked about = being paid for promo gigs etc. It’s only a few hundred thou a pop for these things, but a girl’s gotta eat. ---
