Pamela Anderson for Vivienne: Revealed

Thanks to the good people over at Les Mads, Pamela Anderson’s Spring 09 ad campaign for Vivienne Westwood has officially hit the internet. Predictably, Pamela’s breasts serve as co-stars. Vivienne and her husband/former student/stylist Andreas Kronthaler flank the Baywatch babe in a few shots. Vivienne even dares to wear the same dress as Pamela (guess Read more →
