Here’s Pamela Anderson in 2004, signing copies of her novel Star at the Barnes & Noble in Rockefeller Center. From the back cover: “Playful, bawdy, and curl-your-toes-sexy, Star is a breathless romp through tinseltown and tabloids. An insider’s look at the world of inflated egos and inflated bodies, Star goes well beyond the clichéd air-kisses and casting couches of Hollywood to show what really happens when A-list meets D-cup, when girl becomes goddess.” It’s still available on Kindle for $14.99! It’s hard for me to imagine a more perfect example of the popular aesthetics of 2004; quite frankly, I miss seeing so much Malibu Barbie hot pink.
