If Lindsay Lohan can drive a print publication’s subscription revenue up by a low five figures by pretending to be Marilyn Monroe, why can’t columnist/VH1 talking head/soft-sculpted middle-aged gay man Michael Musto do the same for the Village Voice? Interestingly, this slideshow seems to be a trojan horse used to smuggle a cranky old man essay into the weekly, complete with grumbles that today’s nip-slipping, up-skirt courting starlets “never claim an affinity for anyone esoteric, like Barbara Payton, Carrie Nye, or Tippi Hedren.” Cool it with the history, old man––just show us your tits!

At the beginning of this week, Lindsay Lohan horrified classic nude starlet photo-shoot purists by revealing her apparently very real breasts in otherwise not-so convincing homage to Marilyn Monroe. We wondered, at the time, if aligning herself with the ultimate image of female celebrity self-destruction was really the best way for Lindsay to prove her post-rehab worth. Turns out, we were wrong––Lindsay just got a job! In a Jack Black movie! About renaissance fair nerds! Case closed, right? Also, with subscriptions currently going for about $20 each, New York Magazine made at least $10,000 off the spread. And thus, the career of one actress and the whole of the magazine industry are rescued in one fell swoop. Rejoice!
