Washington
(ANI):
American
actress
and
pop
singer
Lindsay
Lohan"s
nude
pictures
have
received
her
manager-mom
Dina"s
stamp
of
approval.
The
pictures,
which
appear
in
the
current
issue
of
New
York
magazine,
were
a
recreation
of
Marilyn
Monroe's
legendary
1962
photo
shoot
shot
by
Bert
Stern,
and
Dina
believes
that
it
is
an
honour
for
Lohan
to
do
the
shoot.
"It
was
very
tastefully
done," People
mag
quoted
Dina
as
saying
about
the
photos.
"I
respect
the
photographer
as
an
artist,
so
I
look
at
them
artistically.
For
him
to
call
Lindsay
46
years
later
and
to
say
can
you
recreate
these
photos
is
an
honour.
I
looked
at
it
as
art,
and
as
Lindsay
doing
a
character.
So
I
don't
look
at
them
like
it's
Playboy;
she
was
being
a
character.
So
if
you
look
at
it
that
way,
you
can
look
at
it
as
a
mother,"
she
added.
Dina
also
added
that
had
the
photos
been
inappropriate,
Lindsay's
sister
Ali
would
not
have
been
allowed
to
visit
the
set.
"Trust
me.
I
wouldn't
have
sent
my
14-year-old
to
the
set
[if
the
shoot
was
in
bad
taste].
And
obviously
Lindsay
wouldn't
do
anything
with
her
sister
there,
that
was
risque,"
Dina
told
People.
The
mother
of
the
21-year-old
actress
also
revealed
that
Lindsay
views
the
shoot
as
an
once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity.
"Lindsay
was
very
excited
when
she
first
got
the
phone
call,"
said
the
45-year-old
mom.
"Of
course
we
talked
about
how
they
would
be
done.
Lindsay
said,
'Mommy,
I'm
never
going
to
get
this
opportunity
to
do
it
again.' She
was
very
thankful
she
was
asked,"
Dina
said.
Lohan,
who
is
an
ardent
Monroe
fan,
was
very
determined
to
go
ahead
with
the
shoot."She's
always
loved
Marilyn," Dina
said.
"For
Christmas,
my
girlfriends
even
gave
her
a
Marilyn
cookie
jar.
I
think
there's
a
sadness
that
Lindsay
feels
for
Marilyn.
Lindsay
really
saw
it
as
a
gift
back
to
someone,"
she
added.
