At Britnell's a buddy would go to a pub meet up with his friends, watch episodes of Baywatch, drnk beer and guffaw at the screen. I thought Pamela Anderson was an airhead -- certainly that was how she was sold. Then Karen Peters gave me this link. I read it and changed my mind.
Pamela Anderson, with makeup, etc.
Looking now, via search, and realizing that there was a whole news cycle about Anderson and this Netflix item about her earlier in the year, and I missed it entirely. Of course, I miss a lot of things that get whole news cycles. Anyway, going to read this Jacobin piece (which likewise seeing for first time, I’m pretty sure) as I get opportunity.
