She holds out her right arm to show me her tattoo of Marilyn Monroe. All that remains of Marilyn is a few drops of black against skin that is the color the moon possesses in the thin air of northern winters. She decided to get it removed, and after a single treatment the sex symbol of another age is barely recognizable. "I feel like I willed it be gone," Fox says. "They told me it was going to take six sessions and it's nearly gone in one."
Other tattoos may be going soon as well. A quote on her rib cage reads: "There once was a little girl who never knew love until a boy broke her heart." She thinks it's stupid now. And she isn't entirely sure about the line from Nietzsche either: "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."
The reason is that Marilyn Monroe lost control. "I started reading about her and realized that her life was incredibly difficult. It's like when you visualize something for your future. I didn't want to visualize something so negative."
"She wasn't powerful at the time. She was sort of like Lindsay. She was an actress who wasn't reliable, who almost wasn't insurable.... She had all the potential in the world, and it was squandered," she says, curled defensively on the sofa. "I'm not interested in following in those footsteps."
The sad part is that I feel Lindsay probably likes the Marilyn comparison
Either way, we all know Lindsay defined a generation filled of paparazzi insanity and media exposure. She will be the one people will still be talking about in future decades along with legendary related imagery Iconic.
