Lindsay Lohan lives her life like a desperate, attention-starved candle in the wind

Careful, hon. Horizontal stripes can make you look like an obnoxious whorebag.

Money-grubbing washed-up starlet Lindsay Lohan is aiming to elevate herself to iconic status. In New York Magazine's spring fashion issue, she can be found reenacting Marilyn Monroe's infamous shoot with fashion photographer Bert Stern, known as "The Last Sitting."

Monroe, like Lohan, took heat for her unprofessional on-set antics, and loved her some booze and drugs, but when the mag asked the uninsurable, thrice-rehabbed Lohan if she might meet a similar fate as Marilyn's (an alleged barbiturate overdose), Lindsay replied with a flicker of annoyance: "I sure as hell wouldn't let it happen to me."

Then again, Marilyn didn't have a trashy Long Island mom with boundary issues cracking the whip. After the jump, why else Lohan's only a pretender to the throne.

Why LiLo will never be the grand Marilyn Monroe-esque icon she hopes to be.
