Village Voice Columnist Reprises Lindsay Reprising Marilyn

Just two weeks ago, Village Voice columnist Michael Musto told the Huffington Post that appearing in drag once cost him an ad campaign and that one lesson he's learned is that, in his own words, "I sometimes tell too much, I show my hand."

That apparently did not stop him from reprising Lindsay Lohan's New York magazine photo shoot reprising Marilyn Monroe. Writes Musto:

I've long lived quite dangerously myself, and so, anxious to share my desperate man-tits with an audience beyond Chelsea, I gleefully agreed to star in an homage to an homage: Musto as Lohan as Marilyn. That's three generations of loveliness, and I prepared for it by not shaving or waxing a thing, just letting it all hang in the wind as both a nod to history and a means of reclaiming control. Just like with Marilyn and Lindsay, people have always grabbed at me, wanting a piece of my piece and a slice of my soul, but usually with more pepperoni and less cheese. Well, this time, I was seizing the power back by saying: "My bits are only mine to give. Now here they are, world. Take it all!"

Below, a sampling of Musto as Lohan as Marilyn, taken by New York-based photographer Howard Huang. For the full spread, visit VillageVoice.com.

"I sometimes tell too much. I show my hand." Very funny. So, when he claimed without proof that Hillary was involved in an affair with an aid last summer and started the whole round of media gossip that made it all the way to Harpers and the Daily Show and which has now been resurrected on Daily Kos by Obama Supporters intent on getting revenge for the fact that Drudge Report took Hillary Clinton's "No, of course not" response to the 60 Minutes question "Do you think Obama is a muslim" and changed it into something else in order to further the two Right Wing Big Lies "Hillary is a Bitch" and "Osama is a Muslim"----when he planted that rumor in his column, was he doing it because his magazine was backing Obama and taking the stance that Hillary was no different from Republicans (a hawk---read some of the Voice from last year and you will see what I mean)?

Pardon me if I find the political repercussions of Mustow's actions last fall so distasteful that they make it hard for me to laugh at these antics.

It's Lindsay without makeup. Never thought I would see the day.

Musto is the best gossip columnist ever. EVER. However, this is just disturbing. I've gotta take a shower now.

Looks more like Andy Warhol.

This is great!!! He looks sexier than Lohan. She had a grimace on most of the pics and a death mask on others. Dead eyes. No joy. Poor girl. Certainly neither can compare to MM.

BTW, the best bio of MM is "Marilyn Monroe" by Donald Spoto. He had access to previously sealed documents. She did not commit suicide nor was it some kind of political conspiracy. She'd taken barbiturates early on the day she died ( used in those days as tranquilizers, pre-Valium ). That evening her Svengali psychiatrist and his wacky former patient, whom he'd recommended to be MM's housekeeper/spy, gave her a drugged suppository the contents of which combined with the barbiturates still in her system killed her within 10 minutes. Accidental death then covered up and scene staged. Bungled investigation by the cops. Very sad story.

uurrrrrp!.... gotta go find something and scrub my eyes.... maybe I can seek out something horrible on the net that will erase this. I would have been ok with the article but the visuals do not help. Hear me, Huffpo?
Hey, there is a Marilyn Manson concert advert at the bottom of the page!!!
The beautiful people, the beautiful people,
Can't judge a church by the size of its steeple
Can't see the forest for the trees..
The beautiful people, the beautiful people...

There, now I feel better.

The melons, the melons......this is too funny. The expressions on the face .....priceless.


Now, now to all of you detractors above, Lohan didn't look that bad despite the freckles.

How about it? And how about those who claim Ms. Musto is sexier/more sensual than Lohan was?

    Favorite    Flag as abusive Posted 10:20 PM on 03/07/2008

Even more sensual than Lohan was. I think it's the horn-rimmed glasses.

This is the only remotely interesting thing Musto has ever done publicly.

This is funny as hell - and it's wonderful that he did it - absolutely wonderful.

This model is not to my taste.

But this photo shoot is no less relevant than Lohan's.

Funny.
