How many freckles can you count?


It's a bit ironic that New York's Spring Fashion issue features actress Lindsay Lohan wearing nothing more than a few strategically placed cloth-flowers and transparent scarves over her naked body.

But, I guess it isn't so ironic that "bad girl" Lohan was handpicked by photographer Bert Stern to re-create ever-so infamous Marilyn Monroe's last photoshoot (check out one of the original photos of Marilyn, below.)

And the similarities don't end there. The article (written by Amanda Fortini) suggests other eerie things the two artificial-blonds share:
"Forty-six years later, Stern has revisited his classic shots with Lindsay Lohan, another actress whose prodigious fame is not quite commensurate with her professional achievements... Without putting too fine a point on it, you might say Lohan has, like Monroe, a knack for courting the tabloids and tripping up her career."

Lindsay gushes about her obsession with Marilyn Monroe throughout the article and says it was important, "to bring [the book "The Complete Last Sitting" that featured Monroe's entire photoshoot] back to life.”

Back to life, eh? Hey, Lindsay, Marilyn Monroe died six weeks after this shoot... I'm just saying; anybody want to start a pool?
