THE GOLDEN GIRL
There are many ladies in the limelight that I look up to for various reasons, but none of them can be found on MTV reality shows, on the radio's top 40 or on the cover of Cosmopolitan. Names like Goldie Hawn and Diane Keaton are more likely to capture my attention, but if I'm honest with myself, I can't overlook Pamela Anderson either. Though, I don't imagine she'll be having tea with the other two anytime soon.
For a girl who got her start with Labatt beer after being discovered at a Lions game at Vancouver's BC Place, Pamela has come an incredibly long way since then. Born and raised on Vancouver Island and having graduated from the same high school forces me to appreciate her even more. What can I say? We're both girls from Comox. I'm biased.
Though you may not all agree with me (and some may even shake their heads), and you may not agree with career choices Ms. Anderson has made, it can't be denied that she is one of those rare gems who really is herself in every sense of the notion.
Mother, daughter, philanthropist, actress, Playboy Playmate, animal lover, PETA-supporter, model, vegetarian and all-around fun girl, Pamela has never been one to explain herself. "She is who she is, so take it or leave it" seems to be the philosophy by which she lives her life.
Always an innovator and never an imitator, some of the many faces of Pamela that I'm sort of in lust with...
Before I forget to mention, I'm doubly excited for two reasons:
1) Since I doubt UGG will ever make a vegan version of their boot, I can relax because animal-loving Pammy has developed an alternative "beach boot" called FAKE (Free Active Kind Energy) that will be available later this year. FAKE will be high quality and produced without animal skins in North America; and
2) What's better than dreamy body products? Dreamy organic body products that are true to their claims. RAW (Real Activist Wild) is "wild, sexy, skin and hair treatments with delicious/favorite natural fragrances, organic bases, cruelty free, conflict free, mainly local ingredients/or guaranteed free trade." Raw is currently in development and should be available sometime in 2009.
While I can't vouch for the integrity of any of these products, I am definitely looking forward to giving them all a shot.
Don't forget to follow Pamela on Twitter!
I know, I know... I've committed one of the cardinal sins of "professional" blogging. My purpose was to essentially celebrate Pamela, so if any of these are your photos and you want them removed and/or credited, please let me know and I'll be happy to immediately do so.

It’s funny though … my favourite photos of her that you posted are the ones where she’s a little more covered … this recent trend of her showing more out in public is kind of disappointing … I mean, she’s a beautiful woman and I’d love to see her aging with a little more class … then again, like you said, she’s never been one to let critics influence her actions. And the latest actions are great publicity for her other, more noble, business endeavors you mentioned coming out this year. Smart woman.
I love her too. I used to think she was a train wreck when I was younger because “how could a girl get such HUGE boobs on her own accord and be normal?”. But she’s so much more than her tatas.
Gotta love her ‘I do what I want to do, take it or leave it’ mentality. And, she’s Canadian. So rad.
I enjoyed this little celebration of Pammy very much. She’s always been one of my favourite girls too. I spent a significant amount of time trying to replicate her signature perfectly messy Baywatch bun in my own hair when I was in high school.
Oh Pammy. She’s such a pretty girl with a good heart, smarts, and some luscious mamms. I hope she ages with grace, though. I love her smile and sparkling eyes; but like TQ up there, I think she’s most beautiful when clothed in class. She can pull off coy really well.
Although I do enjoy watching her intimate encounter with Tommy, I must admit.
I wish my can of Labatt Blue shot out laser beams.
peta is scary. but i like pam.
so is she the reason the majority of “north hollywood” is all blond?
<–inserts winky emoticon then runs away.
sorry HOLLYWOOD NORTH
Looking great for someone over forty!
Little known fact: I was actually in the Tommy/Pam sex vid, but just happened to be getting drinks for us every time the camera went on, DARN! But I still love them both, escpecially Pam – I HEART her. Okay, wait, maybe Tommy…oh decisions, decisions
When she was in town last year, I got to be part of the paparazzi. While she’s looking quite a bit older in person, I enjoyed the way her personality came out in talking with us. She actually has a sweetness to her.
