The New York Magazine had a small outage recently, with its entire web site going down for a few hours. Not a system problem as such, more a content problem.

You see, this month’s magazine contains a photoshoot with Lindsay Lohan who, when she’s not popping into rehab, is a rather popular actress.

Miss Lohan’s usual fare, until recently, was of the Disney-esque variety. But her more recent roles, brushes with alcohol and this photoshoot are moving her FAR away from her former child star life.

Cause this photoshoot sees Ms Lohan recreating Marilyn Monroe‘s last ever photoshoot, even down to using the same photographer, Bert Stern.

Known as “The Last Photo Shoot” it featured not a lot of clothes and little more than a small piece of coloured gauze.

So, yes, to all intents and purposes, Ms Lohan was nude.

And if you want to make the web site of a major magazine publisher come crashing down, there’s nothing more-readily guaranteed than featuring a famous actress with her kit off.

We men are so predictable.
