Lindsay Lohan as Marilyn Monroe in "The Last Sitting"
I've been biting my tongue all month about this project. Paul Starr, our legendary celebrity makeup artist, told us he was working with one of his favorite muses, the infamous, Lindsay Lohan to turn her into Marilyn Monroe for NY Magazine.
We had to wait until the images to came out to talk about it, but you can imagine our excitement when we heard the editorial spread was a recreation of the famous 1962 series shot by Bert Stern known as "The Last Sitting".
Many consider these images to be some of the most iconic images ever created in pop culture. Sadly, Marilyn was found dead of a barbiturate overdose just six weeks after the images were snapped. Let's hope our wild Ms. Lohan takes a much healthier path.
We love this spread. Regardless of your opinions on Lindsay, you can't deny...she goes for it....and we love her for that. Check back soon for a "GET THE LOOK" article and inside scoop behind the shoot from Paul!

I'm sure Lindsay will say in the interview that she identifies with Marilyn, as Marilyn is Hollywood's most notorious (and daddy-deprived) little girl lost.
I know this post is supposed to be about the "beauty" aspect of the pictures, and Paul Starr does an excellent job with the makeup, especially in the bottom shot (no pun intended)...but I think Lindsay would make a better Janis Joplin, what with the raspy voice and hard living; but again, Lindsay's "talent" and cultural relevance can't even compete.
