It's NSFW, so be aware if you look at the
series of photographs called "Lindsay Lohan as Marilyn Monroe", where Lindsay and the original photographer recreate the shots of Marilyn a few weeks before she died.
Marilyn Monroe was thirty six when the photographs were taken of her. She's gorgeous. Sexy. Her shape is amazing.
Lindsay Lohan is twenty one (turning twenty-two this year). She looks OLDER than Marilyn Monroe. She looks tired, fake. She lacks the same amazing curves that Marilyn has.
By trying to do a tribute to Marilyn, all that comes out is how unlike the two are: Marilyn is far more amazing and will continue to be, long after Ms. Lohan has faded away. Perhaps I'll be wrong, and Lindsay will rekindle her once-promising career, but right now it doesn't look promising.
(Oh, and hi! I am sort of here. My life has been work, knitting, spinning, and Pirates of the Burning Sea. I'm not as active in fandom as I used to be and I miss everyone lots. I have cleaned out my office, though, and I'm back two-boxing my desktop and laptop computers in my little study. Whee!)
