Love, Pamela

One of the best memoirs I've had the privilege of experiencing. Her kindness and strength shines through her words. She is such a poet. Love her!

Pamela's Book: Expecting More



This book serves as a complementary piece to the Netflix movie, presenting Pamela's story in her own words. Surprisingly concise, it is evident that it is not ghostwritten, as it embraces a non-linear narrative. While it doesn't delve extensively into her relationships, apart from Tommy Lee, Pamela's emphasis on not wanting to be defined by the men in her life is a crucial aspect of her story. Interestingly, she discusses Julian Assange more than her husbands.

It may not be considered the most captivating read in the world, given its simplicity and occasionally uneven pacing with interspersed poetry. However, the book does exude a sense of authenticity and honesty.

Nevertheless, don't expect to find detailed accounts of Kid Rock, Scott Baio, or steamy encounters at the Playboy Mansion. Pamela is not their biographer, and that's actually quite cool. It's understandable that people may feel bored since they anticipate sensational stories about others, but Pamela isn't obligated to provide that. We should respect her choices regarding what she chooses to share.

So, while I didn't adore this book because I desired more, I came to realize that unfortunately, everyone simply expects more from her.

Pam's poetry is not good but I'm rooting for her anyway. also honestly kudos to her for (most of) her activism, including starting her book off with a Canadian First Nations land acknowledgment? hell yeah Pam

The 1990s had two sex symbols: Demi Moore and Pamela Anderson. Having read the memoir of the former one, it was only fair to read the latter one as well. I was expecting much of the same: abusive parents, toxic environments, unhealthy relationships. To my surprise, it was very far from that. Who knew that Hugh Heffner's mansion would be a safer place than Hollywood.
I saw Pamela in a totally different light. A woman that loves love in all forms. Granted some men took advantage of that, but nonetheless she lived a quite interesting life.
