Some of you might have thought that Pamela Anderson, back in the days when she was still making huge waves amongst the representatives of the stronger sex, was original in her approach towards her own image. If you did, then please allow me to tell you something: she wasn't. Other than following the trend of the time and turning herself into a combo of buxom blonde and porn star (with a bigger percentage of her image going to the latter than the former), Pamela was also taking hints from the best (and probably first) blonde bombshell, Brigitte Bardot.

Brigitte was actually the woman who invented the very term of sex appeal, only that, unlike Pamela who was mostly a glamor model throughout her career, Brigitte did this via her movies as well, as she didn't stick only to posing. Either way, if Pammy ever took up Brigitte as a model consciously, then now's the time to rejoice because she will be able to step in her shoes in just a matter of hours. If the rumors are true, of course.

Pammy may be retired from acting (oh, we wish!), but she's not out of the spotlight and showbiz for good. After the string of Las Vegas shows she took part in as a magician's assistant, she is now taking her act over to the burlesque territory. Will she be able to fare as well as other established burlesque dancers, such as Dita Von Teese or Carmen Electra? I guess we'll just have to wait and see about that but, mind you, blink once and you lost it because this is just a one-time thing for Pamela. In short, she will be performing in Paris, at the legendary Crazy Horse tonight, on Valentine's Day. Lover, bring me my plane tickets!

While Pammy has already sent out a press statement saying that she would probably not be stripping completely during her one-time number, word on the street is that what she will do is perform Brigitte Bardot's classic "Harley Davidson" song. So that makes two bad news in a row! Because, number one, even if Pam strips, we don't get to see her (the owners of Crazy Horse made it more than clear that no member of the media will be allowed in to see, and possibly tape, the show) AND she will get the chance to ruin a classic and we won't see it. Actually, for that last part, I think maybe we should be more worried that she'll be butchering the classic than about the fact we won't be there to see it all go down.

Either way, tonight Pamela gets the chance to do what few other buxom blondes have done: be their biggest idol and inspirational model for a short while. Still, I can't escape the overwhelming feeling of sadness at the thought that, now, no one will know how Pamela Anderson looks naked. Ha!
