In a statement to People, Dina Lohan says that she approves of Lindsay's nude pictorial in this month's issue of New York magazine. Of course she did:

It was very tastefully done," Dina tells PEOPLE of the photos, a recreation of Marilyn Monroe's legendary 1962 photo shoot shot 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. 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." ...Lindsay, 21, also viewed the shoot as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Dina tells PEOPLE. "Lindsay was very excited when she first got the phone call," says Dina, 45. "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."

Uh, wow. Besides the fact that Playboy photographers would've made this freckled mess look about a billion times better than grandpa did, Dina Lohan really needs to ask her Garmin for directions back to reality. Look bitch, your daughter got naked for some pictures, let's not turn it into some pretentious discussion about art. Just be glad she's finally getting paid to show us her tits. Lindsay Lohan is like a porn star who talks about how she got into porn to fight the oppression of women right before she gets double penetrated by two black guys in executioner masks. At the judge's convenience, I'm prepared to present the con argument whenever they are ready.

Some hi-res scans have hit online, so enjoy. Or don't. I can't live your life.
