Who is Pamela Anderson from Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs: A Low Culture Manifesto and what is their importance?

Pamela Anderson is an American actress in the 1990s who, according to Klosterman, represents the modern day equivalent of sex in an era where sex is no longer particularly desirable. Anderson is a 'Barbie Doll', Klosterman believes, and appeals to the base desires of all modern males. She is blond, with large breasts, a perfect body, and she clearly enjoys the act of having sex. She and her then husband, Tommy Lee from the band Motley Crue, created a sex tape that shot an already famous Anderson to stardom. Klosterman believes men idolize Anderson because she is the idealization of all things sexual. He compares Anderson to Marilyn Monroe, in that both are sexual icons, and victims of modern society.
