    Pamela Anderson poses as Barbie for first time

    David LaChappelle

    Pamela Anderson has chosen who she wants to be: Barbie.

    After decades of being compared to the Mattel doll, the 44-year-old "Baywatch" star has posed as Barbie for the first time for celebrity photographer David LaChapelle.

    "Our first shoot," the B.C. native wrote on Facebook Friday along with the pink-hewed pic, "when David met Pamela ... "

    With her trademark tousled platinum blond locks, sun-kissed skin, and pouty pink lips, Anderson poses in what appears to be a toy display window surrounded by balls, hula hoops, and Barbie paraphernalia. She wears baby blue lingerie with a price tag attached and a pair of retro roller skates. A Scott Disick clone who can only be Ken reclines at her feet.

    Anderson has oft been compared to the blond doll ever since she rose to  fame as buxom lifeguard C.J. Parker on "Baywatch," a role she played from 1992 to 1998. Having the dubious distinction of appearing on the cover of Playboy a record number of times (13) didn't help much, particularly since the last time she appeared on the skin mag was in 2010.

    That same year, Anderson appeared on "Dancing with the Stars" in a shimmery pink  costume, dancing out sexy routines that prompted the media to compare her to Barbie once again.

    A year prior, Anderson had been compared to the Mattel doll after stepping out in London in another pink outfit, a silky pink minidress. Around the same time, another British tab referred to Anderson as "Malibu Barbie" when she turned up at a California beach in -- yep, you guessed it -- a pink and very skimpy bikini.

    In 1998, the Canadian icon told Cosmopolitan that she wasn't embarrassed by her reputation.

    "I've obviously evolved, but you know what? I like being a Barbie," Anderson said. "Half of my closet has the Barbie clothes and the other half has Armani, Dolce & Gabbana and Versace. I'm not trying to change my image. I'm just growing."

    Still, it's nice to see Anderson hasn't grown out of dolls just yet.

      I wish I'd look like her at 44.

        Me too. So sad, people here are bashing her for her looks. Well, there are people whoa can appreciate beauty, and there are those who insist on seeing the negative side of everything.i

        Plastic surgeons are available in any city. Consult one; you might look much better than her at 50, even!

      I'm tired of having so many men that don't know us always saying we are jealous when we voice an opinion about how a celebrity looks. SO, i'm going to set the record straight. I don't have any fake parts on me. I don't have anything tucked, tightened, botoxed, plumped or silicon. I have god given curves that men love (and most importantly) i do to. I eat pizza, steak and ice cream. I wear jeans and sweatpants. I don't spend 2 hours on my hair every morning and 1/2 the time go with a ponytail anyway. All of my makeup fits in one tiny bag which comes out about twice a month. I don't have stylist, personal shoppers, personal massueses (that one i'd like), and can and do leave the house like the average woman. When i go to work i have a job that makes a difference in the lives of others and i never have to take my clothes off for it. I am loved for my inner and outer beauty, and feel that both are equally important. When my sons visit their friends they will never have to go into their bedrooms and see a poster of me in a bikini. they will never be able to go on-line and find sex tapes of me with 2 different men. I've never had to lay on a casting couch. the millions would be nice, but the trade off is that i can go out and not have people sticking cameras in my face. My private life is private. I don't have to starve myself for a week to fit into a size 0 anything and would rather eat a donut near a woman who does (while laughing on the inside) than trade places with her. Fame isn't everything and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. NOw, back to Pammie-all she has to do each day is look good. that's it. give every woman out there a personal trainer, buckets of war paint and the right entourage and a lot of them would look that good. On the other hand, take pamela fresh faced out of the shower, defalte her parts and put her in a plain white robe side by side with the rest of us and she's probably not that special. I like her best on home improvement when she looked natural. she was pretty, not beautiful or glamorous.

        Yes, you're so right, but this Bimbo will do anything to get her hands on fast money; probably anything; would not be surprised; what a slutty lookin' has-been......

      WTF? Too old? Have you people really looked at her? I only hope to look as good as she does when I'm that age. She looks amazing!
      • D.D.S. with Love. 2 months ago
        Take a close up look.Everything she didn't want was deleted of her bod. Get real, already!
      • Anna L 2 months ago
        She is hot. D.d.s. Is just bitter. Why? I don't know.
      • dbirdz 2 months ago
        She may look good but she is not exactly frseh faced and youthful looking
    • Islandprincesz09  •  2 months ago
      Are you guys serious? You are talking about how she doesn't have a "fresh face". She's 44!! Duh. I highly doubt any of you young women will look like her at 44. It is so sad to me to see how you guys have such a negative view on aging. With all these negative attitudes society has about aging its no wonder the majority of women are so disatisfied with themselves. What are you going to do when you reach her age..hide your faces and hate yourselves?
      • Kevin L 2 months ago
        she has the look and body of a woman half her age
    • GroovyDrew  •  2 months ago
      Uhh.. since when is Barbie a Ho? The only time Pamela Andersen came close was before Baywatch
    • missy1972  •  Markham, Ontario  •  2 months ago
      Maybe she should change her image. She's looking a little too old to be spilling out of her dress, and while her body is still great-her face is getting the look of a woman who has lived hard. Trying to look more mature would make her look younger. now she looks like a 44 year old trying desperately to look 25. Instead she could dress more appropriately, tone down the makeup and hair and look 35.
      • Tom 2 months ago
        I'd bet my life on the fact that she looks WAY better than you

        jealous much missy?
      • missy1972 2 months ago
        NOw boys, before you go thinking you can read the mind of stranger then let me ask you this: my eye colour, how i take my coffee, my first name. If you can tell me the most basic information about myself then you might have some insight into how i feel about things. Until then don't try it. Actually I'm not jealous, I'm honest. What i said was true and a lot of women will tell you the same thing.

      She lived in Uranium City Sask from grade 5 to grade 8 and returned to BC when the mine closed.. Actually she lived in Eldorado Sask and went to school in UC. Much of the stuff she does now is what she was like up there.. A little out to lunch, a lot flaky and much out of touch. To bad our principle Ken Passler didn't straighten her out.. She might have been a girl bring home to mom, I know my brother (who was in her class and had a serious crush on her) wanted to. BTW he was a drummer..
      If you meet her in person ask her about Candu highschool.

      You may not like her, but the reality is she is one smart business woman and has hired some of the best PR people. Think about it....her websites get more hits than any other website ever! So....there are a lot of your husbands and boyfriends looking....just saying....not bad for an "old" girl! lmao

      this Barbie photo isn't recent - it's from a 1994 Details magazine shoot with LaChapelle when Pam was in her late twenties.

      Gross. It's embarrassing that she is even in the Canadian Hall of Fame, for what? Porn videos? Good grief..
    • doug  •  Burlington, Ontario  •  2 months ago
      all fake
    • Elbyem...  •  2 months ago
      Too old and, even more significantly, TOO VULGAR. She'd be more appropriate posing as a Bratz doll.
    • LENNY  •  Grande Prairie, Alberta  •  2 months ago

    • dust  •  Toronto, Ontario  •  2 months ago
      She should pose as Barb Wire!
    • Kevin L  •  2 months ago
      The debate on Pam really seems to be 50/50 ... you either love & understand her or you think she's a dumb blonde with big boobs
    • Personal Choice  •  Calgary, Alberta  •  2 months ago
      Pamela as Barbie? Seriously? It just gets better and better - goes to show that money can get you anything - porn star Barbie. Nice. Look kids - new spokeswoman of the day. Show Ken your boobies dear..... now flash him your t@#t - he'll fall in love with you.... She's a mindless idiot, she can't act, she looks good and trashy behind the camera - and she's an embarassment to women, and Canadians.
