According to British Vogue, the series, called &amp;quot;The Last Sitting,&amp;quot; contains 36 photographs and was purchased by an anonymous bidder yesterday.\nThis is the second time the photos have re-emerged in the last year--remember in February, when Stern got involved in a little reprise of the photoshoot for New York Magazine, with Lindsay Lohan starring as the blonde bombshell?
