Pamela Anderson Gets Immortalized in Gold, Twice

By Zach Dionne Posted May 7th 2010 08:45AM

If Pamela Anderson's shapely allure ever fades, at least she's been cast as shimmering, scantily clad twins for a new London art exhibition. The life-sized polished bronze statue, titled 'The Ecstatic Autogenesis of Pamela,' is part of British artist Marc Quinn's series showcasing people "who have transformed their appearances," the UK's Coventry Telegraph reports.

The former 'Baywatch' and recent 'Dancing With the Stars' vixen told the Guardian that she loves Quinn and his work. "I didn't even ask what he wanted to do with me. I would have done anything." She likes that the finished product is "raw, not perfect. I think that's what makes it interesting. Sexy isn't perfect."

Of his inspiration, Quinn said, "What Pamela has done is use surgery and transformation within the mainstream cultural context, whereas everyone else in the show has struck out on their own."

Two large Michael Jackson heads are on display as well -- one white, one black. Quinn fashioned a life-sized Kate Moss statue in 2006, casting the model in a contorted yoga pose in bronze. He called the piece 'Sphinx.'

The Coventry Telegraph says the White Cube gallery-based exhibition aims to explore the public's obsession with the human body. "You've got people who have decided to change the outside of their bodies to fit how they feel inside," Quinn said.

Which would explain why the artist created statues of transgender porn stars Allanah Starr and Buck Angel. The Coventry Telegraph likens Quinn's 'Buck and Allanah' sculpture, in which the pair stand naked and hand-in-hand, to classic images of Adam and Eve.

Gross. Melt that gold down and sell it and send the money to Haiti or give it to children's cancer research or to helping the homeless or something useful. That's just a waste.

Or....she could take the money and pay her more than 1 Million dollars she owes in back taxes and the debt to contractors that she owes for the repairs on her Mailbu home! I personally do not understand why so many find her sexy. I think she is a hard looking tramp. There are many sexy women out there and she just isn't one of them.

Some of those photos of her at Malibu Park look like she is eating a hot dog.... or a twinkie... I thought she was a vegan? Maybe a veggie dog, at the park??? Oh and the close up photo #100- priceless!

I found it hard to believe years ago there was much
silicone in the world to inflate that bimbo.
She must of robbed Fort Knox to find that much gold.

It would be a shame to gain the whole world... but loose your soul.

DAMMMM!!!!!!! I'D LOVE TO HAVE THE STATUE IN MY HOUSE. THAT IS HOTT, HOW MUCH DID THAT COST?

By Cin

How does she make money??? Is this all you have to do is get big breasts, sleep with rock stars and act sleezy? Hmmm, well, if I was younger maybe and had no real goals.

By kayla

that has got to be a world record that will never be broken for how many pictures can be taken of someone holding a slurpee

Ouch - but DC- I gotta tell ya - it made me crack up out loud.

By karenione

Looking at it from an artist point of view, I think it could have been better. Instead of twins, he should have created the before and after. He would have gotten his point across much better. Right now it is just a mirror image that says nothing but BIG BOOBS. Oh well, coulda been a contenda but chose to go the way of BIG BOOBS. LOL

By sleepyhead

This is scary. They look like dead, gold, pregnant Pams!

Meh..."Abskank art" isn't really my thing.

This almost seems like a Family Guy joke. Like they'd be doing a parody of Raiders of the Lost Ark only it's not the ark they seek but...the Golden Stripperella Idols O_o
