Pamela Anderson is planning to strip naked in a shop window - for an anti-fur protest.
The former 'Baywatch' babe, famed for her curvy body, is to pose nude in the window of fashion designer Stella McCartney's London clothes shop on behalf of animal rights group PETA.

Now I'm confused. Pamela Anderson's entire fame and fortune is based on two things: (1) Her body, and (2) A culture that says the body's beauty is one of the highest or most important goods, hence it deserves to be revealed. I'm assuming Pamela buxomly embraces (2). How then is getting naked in a store window a form of protest? Should I protest by putting a Van Gogh painting in a store window? Maybe I should play Mozart over the store's PA system.
Or maybe what we're really seeing is an eruption of truth: the body ought to be covered up more in our culture. When it's naked, there's something wrong. Even Pamela Anderson knows it.
(Aside: I was going to use this opportunity to post another "honey shot" on this blog. I searched for a modest photo of Anderson, but gave up after 10 hours.)
