Lindsay Lohan's Mom: Nude Photos Were 'Tastefully Done'
"It was very tastefully done," Dina tells 'People' of the photos, in a shoot that is supposed to be a recreation of Marilyn Monroe's 1962 photo shoot by Bert Stern. "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 honor," Dina says. "I looked at it as art, and as Lindsay doing a character. She was being a character. So if you look at it that way, you can look at it as a mother," when asked how she approved of her daughter doing the photos. Dina adds that if the photos had been inappropriate, she and Lindsay's sister would not have visited the set: "Trust me. I wouldn't have sent my 14-year-old to the set. And obviously Lindsay wouldn't do anything with her sister there, that was risqué." She says 21-year-old Lindsay was also very excited to have the chance to bare all: "Lindsay said, 'Mommy, I'm never going to get this opportunity to do it again.' She was very thankful she was asked." "She's always loved Marilyn. 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."
