This is what happens to someone who turns 17 and spends the next handful of years drinking in the 7-11 parking lot.

Michael Jahn

so does this spread mean lohan will also be dead after 6 weeks?

Alien_She

Her belly button is cavernous.

gladys_kravitz

I actually find the last image of her the most wrong. She's holding the scarf with such a tight, unartistic grip, totally lacking the ethereal grace and beauty that Marilyn imbibed.
Lindsay's tight grip on her scarf very elegantly symbolizes her desperate attempt at holding on to her career.
I feel sorry for her, though. Totally blame it on the parents.

new-tricks

It's a win win. NY Mag gets their best newstand sales probably ever, Lohan gets to use her get out of "we're starting to not give a shit about you card" with dropping to the now lowly Kardashian level of Playboy.

I bet this helps her get cast in something she would have missed because of I know who killed me and drunkfest 04-07.

The face is a little haggard even for 21 years of hard living... no doubt about it.

Gorilla

Here's a link to the original Stern shots: [www.guyhepner.com]

I believe that MM was in her late 30's at the time, and she still look 100 times better than Lohan.

Cam/ron

Great. She's got breasts. Now, lets work on some hips.

CaptainFantastic

That wig looks like it belongs on the head of $5 hooker.

Oh wait...

mr_wednesday

@Jack Szwergold: Or Edie Falco. She's looking really middle-aged in these photos.
It really was a bad match - that look is just not for Linds.

VoxPopuli

Not even close.

Ummwhat

Something's Gotta Sag

KarenUhOh

Very bad idea. I can't help but noticed how busted Lindsay's face and skin look compared to Marilyn's, even though Linds is over a decade younger than Marilyn was at the time. Lind's muscle tone and general shape (except for her breasts) are also pretty mediocre. So much for the power of airbrushing.

Snakeophelia

Bad idea. Maybe mimicking an Edie Sedgwick shoot would have been better.

Or hey, be really rad and have Lindsay pose and be photographed as Britney Spears back in her heyday.

Jack Szwergold

Hey... it's like some old famous photos but they're totally new...

What a concept! Magazines should do more inventive, clever, mold-breaking things like this!

Dusty in the Wind

Ok, I was all set to make some kind of nasty comments about Lindsey, but ... well ... I have a thing for women with freckles all over their bodies and .... um ...

Excuse me a minute.

MisterHippity

Wait a minute. These were the good photos? Holy hell, I'm scared at the thought of the bad ones. I have the feeling that I'm looking at clips from a future documentary about the brief, chaotic life of Lindsay Spears -- I mean Britney Lohan -- oh, hell. Anyway, it's saddening.

MissNormaDesmond

The "side" pic is most definitely erotic. Although I would rather see dear Brit in these same poses. (The last honest poster on this very board)

LittleMissPartlyCloudy

You'd think photoshop came with a spamplexion filter.

Cultmember

Somewhere, Sir Mix-A-Lot tosses magazine to the floor in disgust.

disslexic

I'm not sure if it says more about Marilyn's hotness or Lindsay's notness that Marilyn's pics hold up a lot better than Lindsay's do.

That said, Lindsay's tits are pretty sweet. Unfortunately, the rest of her body is somewhat vomit inducing. And those full-body freckles. Ugh. She looks like a Star Trek character with a crystal meth problem.

Furious George

umm.. yeah. Horrible comparison. Monroe was beautiful, curvaceous, and had more talent than Lohan. And what the hell? I almost lost my breakfast. Give more warning next time.

DuckyDoom

@Alien_She: Yep, and it means this spread will be eerily prescient when it does happen. ET and the Insider will cream themselves over realizing that.

Seriously though, she looks really good for 45.

Garrison Dean

She's so freckled she looks like she's wearing a leopard pelt.

Sweet Panda Love

I think she looks fab! I'm not supposed to like her but yet...I do! Very Much!

Bento

@Ummwhat: 110% agreement. A pale comparison.

rockogre

She looks like my guidance counsler back in junior high who was covered in freckles and liverspots from over tanning. And she was a smoker.

And she was in her 60s.

I like the Linds. But the Linds looks like a saggy bag-o-spotted geriatric leopard.

Gah. And her skin looks likes those hi-def black and white shots of the moon.

The Black Snob

Marilyn just pops with life and passion in her photos. Lohan looks completely dead in the eyes. No contest.

Readsforaliving

@Miss Anne Thrope: I mean crumpled.

Miss Anne Thrope

@Sweet Panda Love: You're still here! I thought you'd be crumbled in a heap at Mark's door.

Miss Anne Thrope

I like the rabbit teeth in the third picture. And how old is she?

@Garrison Dean: I look that good too.

Miss Anne Thrope

@VoxPopuli: I don't know ... the skin and face do look middle-aged, but there's something disturbingly childish about her body in those pics, esp. the first one. She needs some Marilyn curves or something ...

Omelas

I can't get past the freckles.

Freegan

Lindsay, meet wall, wall, here's Lindsay.

Linday, the trick is, run as fast as you can, imbibing, drugging, fucking all the way towards the wall.

When the wall is within five feet, jump forward, aim your nose as the cement between the bricks, and presto, YOU'VE HIT THE FUCKING WALL AT FULL SPEED...

Makes for a great photo in NYmag.com

the-cubicle-dweller

@TheStarterWife: Agreed. She'd do better as an Ann-Margret or a Jane Fonda in Barbarella mode.

Jack Szwergold

@crackbabyjesus: No way, those are real, give them ten years and she will have them bumped and lifted.

the-cubicle-dweller

@TheStarterWife: tru'dat

sookie

Can't bag on LiLo for the freckles.

I can bag on EVERY FUCKING ART DIRECTOR AND PHOTOGRAPHER who keep dragging out the the Marilyn template. Give her something she can make her own.

TheStarterWife

@Readsforaliving: That's because Marilyn had no idea she was about to be murdered. Lindsay's doing all this damage to herself.

MAGNUM

@crackbabyjesus: have to disagree with ya there. those girls are the real deal for sure.

sookie

Well, this does answer the "are they real or are they fake" question. Definitely fake. I just wonder why she didn't wait for a nice fat Playboy paycheck to show off the girls.

crackbabyjesus

Being that I love all things Marilyn I thought I would have something really nasty to say about these but they are so sad and enervated that 'why bother' is the only thing that comes to mind.

Actually something just did: nobody is going to be looking at these photos 46 years after they were taken...

gwendolyn

i've always been partial to freckles so i don't mind that they weren't airbrushed or foundationed out. glad lindz is now sober, but unfortunately the ill effects of too much drug and drink have clearly taken a toll on her face. agree, ms. monroe was beauteous despite similar chemical abuse. but marilyn was someone you can't duplicate, an icon, whereas la lohan---of whom i'm a fan, is merely a paparazzi magnet. another reason why [marketing's sensibilities to the contrary] it's never flattering to compare one woman to another.

sookie

not gonna jump on board and diss her body. it looks good freckls and all. but that face...she looks like dina and she's not even 22 yet. sad.

bess marvin, girl detective

Lindsay Dee Lohan: Soiled henna lady.

dutchtreat

I'm like Britney at a Starbucks...I have to keep going back and looking! Ah, LiLo...I'm glad I can see you in all your glory while your alive. I figured the best naked pics I'd ever get of you was going to be at the LA County Coroner website

Bento

@Michael Jahn: naked. in full sun. it's not the freckles, it's the catastrophic, all-over sun damage that the freckles signify.

@Cam/ron: who knew marilyn had such cute little boobs? i always thought she was ginourmously booby. guess not. lindsay's boobs, meanwhile...i guess rapid weight changes cause the sag.

slinkimalinki

How completely unoriginal - and very sad.

Miss d

One also appears to be bigger than the other.

bitchybitch

Ay yai yai--aren't those things fake? Why did they put them on so low?

The very point of fake titties is that they don't hang around your waist at 21!

lucyzero

Yup, those are real. Fakes never fail the pencil test- and she could hold a box of crayons under those girls.

mockingbird

I've seen better acting in Tough Acting Tenactin.

She looks like a reject from the tryouts for cycle 9 of America's Next Top Catalog Model.

bitchybitch

Sag?! That's how tits are meant to look...

But the first shot makes me think of a shrimp caught in a net...

Miss d

I find it slightly hilarious that the second most viewed story on Defamer today has 2,721 views while the number one story, which involves boobies, has 27,941.

I guess what i'm trying to say is, people like boobies. Who knew?

E

I've officially changed my stance from "definitely fake" to "unsure". However, remember that there are teardrop-shaped implants on the market these days. Not all plastic bags look like oranges bolted on to the chest.

crackbabyjesus

@bitchybitch:
"One also appears to be bigger than the other."

Which is another reason I think they are her natural unaltered boobs. Real ones tend to be a little off-kilter naturally. Also, not surprising to see a bit of sag even though she is young. Although she is slender (almost boyish, especially in the torso) everywhere else, she appears to be one of those girls that got extra in the hoots department.

Her face is very hard-looking. It's sad to see in someone so young.

SikeChick19

First of all, I cant believe NYMag, normally a publication I love, would submit to such a lame-o marketing scheme. Plus, these horrific pictures came alongside an earnest article attempting to compare Linds with Marilyn.
Think of how sad lindsey is.
a) she thinks she holds a candle to MM, she puts herself in a light that compares her to one of the most beautiful women of all time.
b) she worships someone who led a tragic life
c) she cant act, as evidenced by her pictures
d) she looks 40.

ncohen

I must have missed the press release announcing that Spencer Pratt is now managing Lohan's career.

LIttle Mintz Sunshine

Can we quit it with the "how dare Lohan compare herself to Monroe" comments. Monroe was no better an actress than Lohan is now.

Jaguares

@mockingbird: That's not actually true; fakes sag at the same rate as regular boobs, it's just that they start from zero. So they drop a bit every year, and it's been several years since she last became suddenly boobacious. They're about where I'd expect, actually.

I'd like these shots better if they did what VF did and let the freckles on her face show. This just looks like some FrankenFreckle body onto which they grafted a spare head from a wig shop.

raincoaster

She does have a very boyish body, breasts aside. Wasn't Marilyn curvaceous? I'd rather have a bod like Marilyn any day...rather than that of a strand of angel hair pasta.

jwick25

If you don't think fake boobs sag, you haven't seen Brigette Nielsen. Which actually is probably a fortunate thing for you.

I don't like women sexually, but at least Marilyn looked like she enjoyed what she was doing. Lindsey looks like she's hating it.

bitchybitch

!. She's so Hard.

2. They got f'ing Bert Stern - they couldn't get a decent wig?!

Adele H

I find it really frightening that some girls are gonna look at Lindsay and actually wANT that body. What's the point in having boobs if you have no hips?

yvonnjanae

I actually think the whole thing is pretty lame - MM was a no talent B actress who got way too much attention - about the same here again.. Guess not much has changed.

Jayne Mansfield had more of the lilo drama though

fembot

Man, are those some boy hips Lindsay has. What kills me is how terrible that wig is.

Oxytone

She has one thing over MM and that's boobage. Aside from Marilyn actually having talent the substance abuse is on par. Other than that Lohan has zero class, zero talent, zero brains, way too many freckles to be palatable and absolutely no clue. MM had impeccable style, perhaps the greatest female icon in show biz history followed by Ursula Andress and Bai Ling.
