After all the buzz about Lindsay Lohan and her nude Marilyn Monroe-esque photoshoot, her mother and manager Dina Lohan told People that she approved of the somewhat risque photos and that she felt they were very tastefully done.

“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.”
