Rite Aid: Now With the Fresh Scent of Pamela Anderson

By Jo Piazza Posted Jan 19th 2010 01:00PM

Bust out the old episodes of 'Baywatch' and get your potato sacks ready Pam Anderson may be coming to a Rite Aid near you.

The blonde bombshell is expected to land in the Philadelphia suburbs this weekend where she will be promoting her new fragrance line, Malibu (Blue) and Malibu Night (Pink) at Rite Aids in the towns of Narberth and Ardmore. She'll be signing autographs for anyone who purchases her perfume. Pam was planning to be in town anyway to celebrate the opening of off the beaten path night club 360 at the Parx Casino in Bensalem, PA. The nightclub includes slot machines, a stage, 3 108-inch LED TVs, a 100,000 watt sound system, signature cocktails and an LED-lit lava dance floor that pulsates to the music. So you know it's gonna be classy.

Is Pam desperate for the kind of attention one can only get in a strip mall drug store? Or is she riding the wave of recessionomics by peddling her perfume where the real people shop?

PopEater's own "Naughty but Nice" columnist Rob Shuter thinks this publicity stunt may be a little low market...even for Pammy.

"Oh no Pammy say it's not true. Next you will be dating Jon Gosselin," Shuter gasped.

Anderson first launched the fragrances in style at the chic W Hotel in Ft. Lauderdale last November, but now she is taking her entrepreneurial spirit to the drug stores, a place she knows and loves. "I am a drugstore whore," Pam told People magazine at her launch. "I worship drug stores. You have to pull me out of them. My dream is for every woman to be able to go to her favorite drug store and buy an affordable fragrance which will make her feel sexy."

Well that makes some sense. So before we drink too much judgey juice let us remember that Pam is a smart business lady. She is a girl who does what it takes to get bank. This is a woman, after all, who sued to be allowed to share profits from a stolen homemade sex tape with her ex-husband Motley Crue rocker Tommy Lee.

"Pamela Anderson is definitely willing to do a lot to keep herself in the spotlight, and making appearances at Pennsylvania Rite Aids is no exception," explained AOL StyleList's Marissa Gold. "Visiting suburban Rite Aids is just another way for Anderson to reach a new target audience (moms and teenage girls, apparently) and market her brand. Anderson has never been 'above' exploiting herself, her sexuality or her fame, and it has worked well for her."

And in this economic climate a well-priced scent could just be what Pam needs to stay in silicon.

"Pam simply exudes the same aura as stores that sell tampons and toilet paper," said PopWrap's Ryan Brockington. "I think this is a smart move on her part. As long as she is still working to further her empires then she is keeping one more Baywatch beauty off the streets."

Brockington begs the question we all want to know but have been too lazy to travel to Rite Aid to answer; what will Pam's perf smell like?

"At first thought the scents I would go with are the zing and sting of a Zinc sun block flavored with the toxic aftertaste of a halls cough-drop and the smell of an ER waiting room. But that's just me," Brockington predicts.
