pamela andersonWriting on her blog, Pamela Anderson has expressed interest in returning to television — as a bikini-wearing vegan cook. From the site,

“I’ve been cooking Vegan every day (myself)- muscling my way through- experimenting—trying out new things—I still think I should have my own sexy/fun Vegan-cooking show?— maybe one day. Could always have Girls in bikinis cooking veggies-on the beach- I have such an active lifestyle— being a good mommy—means- a little surfing, dirt biking and planting an organic garden-kids love that- I’m the happiest I’ve been in a long time- I keep getting crazy offers to go back on TV—I don’t think I have the passion anymore for it—what is TV these days anyway-?- sensory overload–too busy living the dream…(unless I could do the veggie bikini BBQ show)”

Pam — We love the idea. Just to appeal to a wider audience, perhaps you could have some male guest cooks as well — like Morrissey in a speedo or Joaquin Phoenix as a shipwrecked beach bum. We’re just sayin’.

    Putting the issue of objectification of women aside( which we shouldn’t ) this could be an okay thing.

    Too many people think of vegans as scraggly, unhealthy, crunchy, unattractive, or overweight.

    It might help to have an attractive woman being a regular TV character.

    I don’t hear too many anti-vegans say we’re overweight. They usually think of us as scrawny, pale, and undernourished.

    And I have severe issues with the objectification factor. Why does it have to be a bikini? Why not shorts and a T-shirt? And the idea of Morrissey in a speedo is utterly scary. But it would be nice to see handsome male vegan celebs doing some cooking–preferably fully clothed.

    Is it still objectification if she’s the one that wants to wear the bikini?

  • Heidi

    @hil;

    Yes. Feminists would say that such women are objectifying themselves and encouraging other people to see women that way.

  • hil

    @ Heidi…I can understand that perspective, I guess for me it falls under “your body your choice”. But I respect that not everyone feels the same as I do, and that the objectification of women in general sucks. I’m gonna stop talking/typing now before I open a HUGE can of worms.

  • Heidi

    @hil. LOL, worms aren’t vegan and canning them isn’t green :-) .

    I feel the same way you do. It is inherently insulting for one woman to tell another woman she is objectifying herself with a conscious choice she is making as an adult citizen.

    It is like telling someone they are making a fool of herself without her realizing it. It is condescending.

    It may be correct, but it is still condescending.

  • VeggieTart

    Yes, Pam Anderson has a right to do with her body what she wishes. That doesn’t mean I have to like or support it. And Heidi is right–by turning herself into an object, not only does Anderson encourage people to see women as objects, she encourages women to allow themselves to be objectified. There’s a joke that the T and A in PETA stands for “tits and @$$”.

    Surely we can get the message across that objectifying animals is wrong without objectifying women.

    And what would be a green and vegan alternative to the “can of worms” cliche?
