Lindsay Lohan as Marilyn Monroe

 

When I heard earlier in the week that photographer Bert Stern had recreated “The Last Sitting” with Lindsay Lohan as Marilyn Monroe, I almost couldn’t believe it.  The original images were so beautiful (see below and this previous post) and now this project seems to me to be one of the best, most artful things [...]

I highly recommend buying the issue so that you can read the article about her and get the details of her decor and the article. Enjoy these photographs of [...]
